Blogs at so 2007. I’ve been reading about the death of blogs for years. So let me tell you this. Even if someday they do disappear… I’m gonna be that pissed off, wrinkly, stubborn, old man who refuses to sell his 1/4 acre to KB Home development offices and suddenly there is a brand new neighborhood with slick fancy homes surrounding that one dude who didn’t budge. I’ve always wanted to knock on the door of those homes and give the guy or gal inside Read more.

Rankings…Stats…Awards… They rub me wrong. I think it is because I used to get SOOO wrapped up in them. And then, after my Blogatical last Feb, it all changed. The only stat I check now is the stat thay tells me if you are hurting in your life or not. I read every comment and consider you guys family. And so I wanted to award you with 2 awards.

I made that video so I wouldn’t have to type. I hate typing. I love talking. I’m screwed huh? After watching it I made little if no sense and am OK with that. Here is the shtick… This whole Internet thingy we have here is new. We don’t know the damage these narcissisticly beautiful tendencies will have on us. I feel the Lord has called me to create culture, which in turn, Read more.

So a few weeks ago I sat in a room with Anne and Jon and dreamt of a night were we could take our communities offline for a night of change. No stats, drama, links, SEO. Just us. Together. Experiencing freedom and authenticity. Well that night is upon is. Save the date: February 26, 2009 7 pm Christian Church Buckhead with Anne Jackson, Jon Acuff and myself, hosted by Read more.

So I finally got my hands on the interview that Collide did with me. I’ll have to be honest. I have been a wee bit scared of what I said seeing that I talked on the phone with Scott from my office, through the elevator, up Tower Place Dr., left on Peachtree, down the MARTA station stairs, and into the MARTA train.
