So Long, Comfort Zone

When the going gets tough, the determined step out
of their comfort zones and try new things. I’m determined to do all I can to
help the Register through the rough financial patch it’s in, so look for me on
NCRegister.com doing something well outside my comfort zone: appealing directly
to readers for their assistance.
This
is the second video I’ve done as part of my stepped-up fundraising duties. (If
the video is not up by the time you read this, it will be soon after.) I
couldn’t have foreseen this kind of work when I answered God’s call to the
priesthood, but then I didn’t know publishing was in my future, either. The
Lord is full of surprises.
And
so is the journalism business lately. The Register has plenty of company among
traditional print publishers struggling to grow in a new-media world. Most
experts agree that, even for secular, general-interest outlets, fundraising
will need to augment revenue streams provided by subscription payments and
advertising sales.
The
Register has an advantage over many other media organizations: Register
readers. As I step outside my comfort zone this time around, I pray that many
of you will tell me — by your prayers as well as your gifts — that you’re
willing to step with me.
