I think that Jesus would blog parables. Parables are stories to which people can easily relate, have a meaning or lesson and can be read over and over with different nuances discovered each time. Blogging is an excellent platform for stories and I think it would be a great match. I invite you to join […]
I think that Jesus would blog good news. This is the first thing that he publicly proclaims to people when he began his ministry and continues to be the focus of those who follow him today. I think that primarily commenting on other blogs would be a way of spreading this good news – connecting […]
Tomorrow is the first Sunday in Advent and I invite you to join me in a conspiracy… An Advent Conspiracy… Thanks, Tim.
Today is the first annual National Day of Listening. I really enjoy the Story Corps project and hope to participate in the National Day of Listening even if not recording what comes. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your day and take time to listen.
Chuch Marketing Lab: Annual Reports and Quarterly Newsletters – Great design is good everywhere. Great pictures and thoughts from our staff retreat at Who says Executive Staff aren’t any fun?

Jott.com really changed the way that I keep track of things. When I have an idea that I want to capture, a task that I cannot get off my mind or something that I am afraid that I am going to forget, I will call jott and record a memo to myself. I can unclutter […]
I use Google Docs because it exists in the cloud and I get the same access to my documents at any computer connected to the internet. This is great as right now I may find myself working at Saint Luke’s Hospital, Resurrection, home or on the road. I have all my documents wherever I go […]
