My Camera-Shy Puppy [Video]

I love my dog. Like any father, I think he’s cuter, smarter, faster, and more lovable than any other puppy/son around. Here’s a video to prove I’m right.

Do you have a kid/pet you think beats all others? Got a video of the little bugger?

The Twitterrific Killer [With Video Tutorial]

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 [...]

The Back-End of Risk & How to Grow a Pair [2 0f 2]

I posted a short article last week about risk and maintaining a risk-taking culture as your church grows. Over the weekend, I realized my own inexperience and lack knowledge disqualify me from speaking authoritatively on this subject.
