[image by Robyn Twomey] The thing about Twitter is that it is beautiful in its simplicity, and powerful in its capability. Not everyone gets it at first…or second…or third time. But if you stick with it, it will pay off for you. I was struck the other day with some of the common themes around [...]

[image by Capture Queen] I have been thinking a lot…a lot about Anne Jackson’s recent decision, Saying Goodbye to Facebook. And then yesterday she followed it up with an article at Purpose Driven, Why I Kissed Facebook Goodbye. Something that Anne said in the article really stuck out to me: The ultimate question, for the [...]

I really want to thank faithHighway for picking me as one of the winners of their ECHO Conference contest. As one of the winners I get a free ticket to attend ECHO. FaithHighway has been great.

FaithHighway is giving away 10 free tickets to ECHO! It’s super easy. Go here, and leave a comment. Best 10 comments win 1 ticket each. But the contest ends tomorrow, so go do it now. I went to ECHO last year (this is their 2nd year), and you can read my post about it. As [...]

I had the privilege to write an article for Collide Magazine for their March/April 2009 issue, and of course I wrote it on the topic of Twitter.

I love Rick Smith’s “double popped” interviews and John Saddington’s chats or Friday 5′s, as well as the other creative things bloggers are doing. One [...]

Last week I was debating on whether or not I should attend the ECHO Conference, mainly because I was pretty exhausted from just moving here. And second, I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to pay the $329 for the conference. I debated, but ultimately I felt like it would be a great opporunity to [...]

I love this quote by Daniel Kantor over at Collide Magazine in the article How Expensive Technology Can Cheapen Us. I think when the technology becomes not only the focal point but the prerequisite, we’ve cheapened not only the art, but our humanity. I’m not against technology. My design firm is filled with high-end technical [...]

Caution: Thinking out loud as the title says, so a bit of a choppy post. But I’m curious of your thoughts. It is often true that we look back at how we did something as being the only way something can be done. For example, if I took all these classes (Greek, Hebrew, exegetics, etc.) [...]

Scott McClellan of Collide Magazine has an excerpt of an interview/article with Craig Detweiler on the the state of seminary, Culture and Seminary. In what I read so far, Craig brings up some interesting points. COLLIDE: It seems to me that the majority of seminaries spend the majority of their students’ time focusing on 1st-century [...]
