get connected …… pretty please

When I’m not home being Husband’s Wife or at school substitute teaching, I’m heavily involved at my church. In addition to attending the weekly worship service on Sundays and Wednesday night Bible study, I coordinate a book club (small group ministry), assist with outreach events (including mission trip leadership), and I’m also the editor of the monthly newsletter. Doing these effectively would be impossible without one major component:

* COMMUNICATION *

Last week, I spent several hours in multiple conversations regarding the communication (including marketing and public relations) efforts at First United Methodist Church in Joshua, Texas … it’s an exciting time and I’m glad to be a part of the team!

All this talk got me thinking about Three 31 and how I engage with blog readers.
I’m thankful to every person who reads this blog and I sincerely hope that readership continues to increase, as well as the number of comments posted. I make it a priority to reply to every comment that’s posted because it’s important for me to acknowledge your thoughts. I really appreciate the time you spend on this page.

In the spirit of encouraging you to CONNECT with me, I’ve compiled a myriad of ways you can do so right here with social media:

• Subscribe via email to this blog, Three 31
• *Friend* me on Facebook
• *Follow* me on Twitter
• *Follow* my boards on Pinterest

I encourage all of my blog readers to *SUBSCRIBE* via email to Three 31. This way, every time a new post is published, it’s immediately sent to your inbox.

* * * * * * * * *

Now that Facebook is a publicly-traded company, I’m anxious to see the changes (if any) made to the social media giant. Join me on Facebook.

I’m a self-proclaimed Pinterest addict but I really enjoy this collection of pin boards. If you are on Pinterest, please FOLLOW me. If you would like to join the madness, send me an email and I’ll help you get access!

Are you a Tweeter? Me too! Join me on Twitter (@nmhutch). By the way, I get extremely giddy when somebody re-tweets or replies something I’ve posted. I know, my ability to be entertained is easy and pathetic.

Happy Weekend to ya!

#photoadayMay – Group 2

Thanks to fatmumslim, I’m participating in her #photoadayMay this month. Want to join me? Check out her site!

Here is group TWO of my photographs:

May 6 — ME!

I really hate for my photo to be taken. I cheated and took a photo of my Facebook wall on the computer screen. Let’s move on.

May 7 — someone that inspires me

There are so many people that inspire me. I’m blessed with incredible people from all walks of life that guide me, teach me, challenge me, entertain me, and nurture me. For the sake of this post, I’m breaking the rules because I did not take this photo of Lisa. Besides, it’s hard to take a photo of someone who lives in Virginia. Please, visit Lisa’s blog and tell her I said hello.

May 8 — a smell that I adore

It’s hard to describe the smell in the back woods of western Kentucky. Luckily, I have this picture from a trip to Kentucky last summer ….. I’m on a roll of breaking the rules, so forgive me …… that takes my breath away every time. The trees, the water, the sky, it’s peaceful, sacred, and, most importantly, it’s my Kentucky home. I miss it. A lot.

May 9 — something I do everyday

Humor me. I doubt the world is ready for the offspring Husband and I have the potential of creating. It’s better for everyone that I take these pills every day. Seriously.

May 10 — a favorite word

Again, my sense of humor is on overload.

This photo challenge is really difficult for me. I don’t take my camera with me wherever I go on a daily basis and I’m always scrambling to complete this goal. I envy those with cell phones that take pictures. I won’t bore you with the ancient features of my cell phone: it dials numbers and receives incoming calls. Is there an app for that?!

Anyway, happy shootin’ and see you next week for Group 3 photos!
