I just talked to my boy. He changed his mind. I’m so thankful for the many prayers of friends near and far, who have offered prayers on our behalf. Thank you God! In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can read my post from earlier today.

Yesterday Kathy Richards wrote an engaging post, “Google Analytics Keyword Searches – A Public Apology.” When I read her post and all the fun comments, I thought I would check to see what my own keywords revealed so I could join in on the fun.

Over the last few months we’ve implemented some changes that are making a big difference. I actually believe [...]

“DIE STINK BUGS! DIE!” I know. That’s a little harsh, especially since it’s Friday and we’re about to be snow bound for the weekend. But c’mon. I hate bugs! This morning I found a stink bug on the inside of my coffee cup. That wouldn’t be so bad, except my cup was still about a [...]

Earthquake in Haiti Shakes My MorningThis morning I had an early meeting scheduled with Rusty Goodwin and Noel Yeatts at World Help to discuss their Twitter strategy. World Help is a nondenominational Christian organization that was founded to meet the spiritual and physical needs of hurting people around the world. They are taking seriously the [...]
