Need A Little Spice
To be completely honest, I’ve become a little bored…
I started this blog back in January and over the last 9 months it’s been a lot of fun to set out before myself and ultimately the rest of the world, my thoughts, feelings, etc. Yet over the last few months I become bored with the blog. I need to spice it up. I’m not really sure what that means, but something needs to change.
Maybe this comes from my new start as young adult pastor. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’ve been staring at the same template for the last 9 months. Whatever the case is, I need to spice things up a tad.
hmm… what could I do…

What's Wrong With My Twitter…
I know it sounds bad, but my twitter feed is not working.
Hopefully I can get it figured out soon…

How are you utilizing your blog, either personally or professionally?

To Twitter Or Not To Twitter, That Is The Question.
I took D.A.R.E. courses several times throughout my adolescent years and I learned to “just say no.” I learned to say no to drugs, and I learned to say no to peer pressure; even “friendly peer pressure.” But what my D.A.R.E officer failed to tell me is what to do when pressured to “twitter.”
Now this isn’t direct peer pressure. It’s not someone threatening to take my lunch money if I don’t inform them via 140 word messages that I am at lunch eating a PB&J sandwich. I’m sure the pressure being delivered isn’t even intentional.
Nonetheless, as I dive deeper into this whole blogging community and I observe the ways of the hardcore blogger I am tempted to “twitter.”
Yikes…Mr. Officer… you didn’t tell me how to handle this sort of pressure.
…To Twitter or not to Twitter, that is the question.

Using Technology To Stimulate Dialogue
It’s interesting how challenging it can be to get people to buy into new technologies. I have been using my blog over the last couple months to not only journal my thoughts, but also create a place where parents and leaders can come and recieve insight into who I am as a leader and more generally speaking, a person. I have also used this site to provide resources on parenting and leading.
The thing that I have been finding is that it’s much more challenging to get people to buy into new forms of technology (specifically blogging) than I thought.
For whatever reason the dialogue hasn’t begun like I had hoped it would. I don’t like admitting that, but that is reality. It honestly is disappointing because I believe having a space to share thoughts and insights into life and ministry is valuable. I believe leaders and parents alike could benefit from having a place where they can recieve knowledge and share with each other the knowledge they already have.
I definitely will continue to platform this means of communication and I hope that in the weeks to come there will be an out pouring of people who have decided to give communication via blog comments a try.
Here’s to open dialogue and the advancement of technology!

Spreading The Word
So I’ve been doing this blog thing for just over two months and I am so excited about the growth in readership that I’ve seen. However, I want to find new avenues to promote this humble little site. It is my hope that this can provide insight into ministry, a dose of humor from time to time, and just a general forum for conversation.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to promote a blog? I’d love the feedback.
Also feel free to refer your friends. haha.

1,000
So, I’m not really sure if this is good or not but I have reached the 1,000 hit mark less than two months into my blogging journey. I have found it exciting trying to build up a base of readers. Hopefully, over the next several months I will be able to continue sharing my ideas, insights, questions and perspectives with you and many more.
Keep reading and pass my blog along to your friends.

Let's Network
One of the things I have been enjoying the most about blogging is the opportunity to connect with people from around the country and in a few cases, around the world. Specifically, I have enjoyed dialoging with ministry leaders from across the country. I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet with many of them someday. I would love to check out their churches and share thoughts and philosophies on ministry.
I’ve only been blogging for about a month and a half but I’ve talked with some great people and I look forward to networking with many more of you.
