Here you’ll find the journal of an average man wrought with joy. One day you’ll find this diary in libraries across America between copies of Anne Frank and A Million Little Pieces.
Welcome. I write for church leaders on topics like strategy and communication. Since this is your first visit, don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS feed.We went for a boat ride last Saturday and I caught a quick video of my beautiful wife, Erica, before we left. If it seems like I’m bragging about the [...]
You might have noticed that I haven’t been blogging lately. There are oodles of reasons for my blogging hiatus over the last few weeks, but the root of it all is that blogging has lost its luster. I’m talking about the kind of blogging I’ve been doing over the past six months.
So, this post marks [...]
As I write this, Twitter is down for maintenance, which makes this post seem a little silly.
I’ve been using Twitterrific (not easy to spell) on my MAC for about three months. Until now, it was really the best option for what I needed to get done. However, it’s become increasingly bothersome to me. The biggest [...]
Wow. It’s been a while. I’ve been crazy-busy since getting back from Costa. Between catching up on church work, preparing for our new Wednesday evening schedule, getting back in the rhythm of planning, following up with new clients, responding to the less urgent support requests, completing projects, billing, answering overdue emails, and going to meetings, [...]
We just got to Costa Rica for our week in paradise. It’s so good to get away from that awful place called Florida (j/k). We’ll be here until Saturday, so be checking back for updates like this one all week.

There are way too many reasons why I’m stoked about WiBo. To name a few:
Eight smart speakers sounds just right.
Two days away with my buddy, Boyd will be fun.
Lunch with TC and 48 other bloggers will also be fun.
Boyd and I are only carrying one bag each: laptop bag with extra clothes stuffed inside.
Boyd is [...]
I’m always curious about how churches communicate with the insiders. Particularly, I love finding out how individual ministries communicate with volunteers.
Earlier today, Carlos Twittered about his video editor, Josh Peters. From Josh’s Twitter page, I found a link to http://buckheadproduction.org, the nerve center for communicating with Buckhead’s production volunteers. If you’re involved with or know [...]
Back in high school, my English teacher told me that she thought I actually had ADD. It wasn’t news to me. I’d never been the most focused kid, but I always thought it was just a teenage thing and that it wasn’t indicative of anything mental. She disagreed.
Since then, I’ve realized that, while I’m still [...]

Today was a fun day. Here are some extra highlights.
The student band played today in place of the regular adult band. The two are very different, as you’d expect, but the student [...]
I was talking with a new friend earlier this week about setting him up with a Wordpress blog and helping him make the switch from Typepad. He only had a few questions, but one of those questions was about categories and how to use them effectively on his blog.
It’s one of those things that I [...]
