A post on MediaSalt.com, “Dont Wait! Introduce new technology to your congregation” by Cleve Persinger got me thinking about how effective our church is at utilizing technology in our communications and corporate worship time. We have not been very effective and we have lagged behind. There are always good intentions on what needs to be [...]
Put Your Dream to the Test by John C. Maxwell
I just finished reading the Kindle version of Put Your Dream to the Test: 10 Questions that Will Help You See It and Seize It by John C. Maxwell last week. It was a quick read and full of great quotes and anecdotes that inspired me to get things together for my “dream.” As most [...]
Should Lawyer’s Blogs Have Advertisements?
I read a post from @problogger titled Should Legal Blogs Be Monetized – If so…How? The question Darren was asking was whether someone who is blogging in a legal niche should use advertising on their site such as Google Adsense to make money. Presumably the person who is blogging in a legal niche is an [...]
Snow Day Challenges My “Values”
Here in Greenville, South Carolina we just had a pretty big snow. Apparently it was one of the biggest snows in years. At our house, we got about five inches of snow. I also have an 18 month old son who was getting to experience his first really big snow. For two days, nearly all [...]
Life Focus When Your Mind Runs Wild
I know that I have written about purpose and passion on this blog in the past. Sometimes it seems easier than others to focus on what is important in life. Other times, however, seem to be so busy and full of "stuff" that the important things get covered up or washed out. It is during [...]
Connection of Churches and Social Media
Should a Church Blog and Tweet? Many churches are out on the edge of technology these days, and in my opinion that is a good thing. Culture is telling people that all kinds of things are available for them to use and enjoy, but many churches are still providing the same type of “services” as [...]
My Top 5 Benefits From Blogging
Blogging works. That’s pretty simple huh? I have been blogging on this site for a few months, but much longer on one of my law practice sites, The South Carolina Tax Attorney. Specifically, on that blog we talk about what people can do when they owe the IRS and don’t know their options as well [...]
Life in the Weeds
You’ve heard about people living out in the sticks. There’s nothing around – just country and pasture. Mayberry – if you will. Life is simple. The area where we live used to be like that. All people used to do was work, take time with their family and go to church. Life is a little [...]
Media Diet to Increase Focus
My mind is always in overdrive. I am constantly thinking. Thinking of ways to be more efficient, thinking of new business ventures or avenues to look into, thinking of new systems for my current business, and on and on. My mind doesn’t stop. I usually always have a pen and paper handy so I can [...]
My Reading List for 2008
In 2008, one of my goals was to read one book a month. I have never been a big reader. In high school, I can only remember reading one book from cover to cover though many books were assigned to us. I don’t remember reading anything cover-to-cover in college either. One of the challenges that [...]
