My take on blogging, social media, ministry, and leadership

The Principle of the Path By Andy Stanley

September 21st, 2011

In his latest book, Andy Stanley proposes that while there are several paths one can take in life, it is up to each of us to choose the path that will take us from where we are to where we want to be.  Stanley discusses at length the fact that, throughout life, we will come to many “forks-in-the-road” and that the choices we make at these crossroads ultimately comprise the fabric of our lives.

SBC President Appoints Name Change Task Force

September 20th, 2011

As I’m sure many of you have heard by now, current SBC president, Bryant Wright, has appointed a “task force” to study the legal and financial ramifications of changing the name of the nation’s largest protestant denomination.  Unlike many other groups, the Southern Baptist Convention has never had a name change in its 166-year history.  Historically, there has been much opposition to such a move by the duly elected messengers.

Does Wright believe that sentiment is changing?  If so, why does he believe that?

According to the Google Chrome Blog:

Gmail Offline is a Chrome Web Store app that helps you read, respond to, organize and archive email when you don’t have an internet connection.

Google also says they’ll be rolling out Google Calendar and Google Docs offline within the next week.

You can read more about it here.

I like that Google is adding these options as it makes Gmail more user friendly and allows for reading and writing offline.

How does this impact you and your email use?  Are you a Gmail user?

January 2011 Update, A Letter to My Readers

January 28th, 2011

As I’m sure you have figured out by now, my blogging and posting frequency has diminished in the last few weeks.

This has been a direct result of several changes that have taken place in my personal life.  I’m just sayin’.

I have recently resigned my position as Senior Pastor, taken on a new part-time job doing market research, and my full time schedule with the State of Florida is changing.

These are just a few of the adjustments I am getting used to, plus I still want to transition from this wp.com blog to a self-hosted WordPress blog as soon as possible.

Therefore, I will only be blogging and posting 1-2 times per week for the forseeable future.

Please pray for me as I embark on this new chapter of my life.  It’s both exciting and scary at the same time!  Yikes!

Thanks for your continued readership and support.

God bless you all in 2011!
