Find Your Home (Meeting)

I was listening to the latest "Pirate Monk Podcast", and was struck by the genius (yet again) of one of Mr. Nate Larkin's recommendations.  

And this hit me particularly hard due to a question that was posed to me last Saturday by one of the Samson Society newcomers (I host the Saturday morning newcomers meeting).  The question had to do with a recommendation related to engaging with online Samson Society meetings in light of a newcomers inexperience / ignorance.  My response was for these newbies to consider their schedules, their temperaments, all the while being persistent in their approach.  And, I believe, these are all solid pieces of advice, for everyone has their own individual schedule, personality.  Plus, it simply takes time to truly get a bead on who a meeting host is, how they operate their meeting & what typically comprises the essence of the meeting itself (regular vs newcomer attendees).  

But honestly, I've never felt all that confident that my response was truly helpful.

Mr. Nate Larkin made the statement that finding a "home meeting" is of primo importance in light of the opportunity to bounce around continually within the virtual Samson Society realm.  This "home meeting" is one that you conscientiously commit to week in & week out no matter what.  And from there, if you so choose, dabbling in other meetings is absolutely up for grabs.  

He went on to say that this approach of deciding upon a "home meeting" provides an anchor for newcomers in light of the vast array of virtual meeting choices available each day.  

I believe this bit of advice to be absolutely brilliant, and as such, am anticipating carrying it forward as I have the opportunity to introduce additional newcomers to this ministry.
