Over the weekend my wife and I spent about an hour or so explaining Twitter to a couple of our friends. He is a youth minister and I was explaining not only what Twitter was, but how it might be beneficial to his ministry. The “this seems crazy” or “I’m totally out of the loop” [...]

Last April April 10, 2008: That is the date I wrote my post regarding an interview with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt and the authors of Millenial Makeover: MySpace, You Tube, and the Future of American Politics.

There was a time when I used to listen to James Dobson. I was a young kid in high school and college and you heard his name a lot. I read a couple of his books, and I even had friends whose parents played his cassette tapes on the birds and the bees for them. [...]

Over the course of the last four and half years I have blogged primarily about church, ministry, theology and anything related to it. But one area that has drawn increasing attention from me is the area of technology, specifically Web 2.0, New Media, etc. I’m still trying to put my thoughts into words and sentences [...]
