As some of you have noticed, I have recently changed my blog design and have been blogging much more over on my Patheos Blog. Yes, I blogged there before and now I am focusing my efforts back there a little more. They have been getting great traffic and some other projects are demanding more of [...]

As some of you know, May is Asian Pacific Heritage Month. There has always been debate over the necessity or usefulness of these kinds of special months, but overall, I think it’s a great idea for folks to take some time to focus on different aspects of American culture and history. In the past I have posted suggested reading lists, movie [...]

This spring I am taking a personal blogging hiatus and have invited some folks to blog in my stead. It is my intention help share some new voices and perspectives with a larger audience and keep my blog active during my break. If you are interested in guest blogging, feel free to submit an idea. Today I welcome to the blogging crew, Harriet Riley, a freelance writer [...]

Don’t worry, I’m not REALLY going to do it, but boy do I want to. Last year I updated a post pushing back on the idea that one should give up social media for Lent. In that post I basically argue that, unless it is holding you back from somehow connecting to God, don’t give it up. [...]

There are times when some things in life just make sense. What might seem like a foolish and risky endeavor to one person might be a natural convergence of clarity and call to another. With that said, after nearly a year since I announced the end of my time at a church that I helped to [...]

[photo by Brandon Christopher Warren] They say that men think about sex a lot. There is some debate on about exactly how often, but  it is probably safe to say, it is often. For those of us in the sharing and opining business – speakers, bloggers, preachers, writers, etc. – the number of times in a day [...]

While some of my closest friends knew about this project a few days ago, I am excited to publicly announce my first official book project. In adding to a faith and life book, for years I have wanted to write social media guidebook for churches, but I never quite felt that it was the right [...]

Next in line for my “year in review” posts . . . Twitter.* My 2011 Blogging Year in Review My 2012 New Year’s Resolutions As I traveled back through a year full of tweets I was struck by how much I tweet. I know that some folks have unfollowed me because I tweet too much or tweet about certain [...]

Like so many of us, whenever I get to the end of a calendar year, I am always surprised how quickly the year has gone by. I am not a big journaler of the pen and paper variety, but I have been known to tweet, blog and Facebook on occasion, so these three platforms are my de facto [...]

If you are over the 30 you have probably said these words out loud or in your head to someone younger thanst thyself, Don’t post any picture of you drinking and carrying on because someday, a potential employer is going to see it and not want to hire you. What if I said that I think folks may want [...]

I admittedly love gadgets, but I can usually resist feeding the “I want to have it first” buying frenzy. I waited until the second generation Kindle came out before jumping onto the eReader train; despite my own predictions, I never bought an iPad even when it got a camera and last year, I gladly gave up my iPhone in order to go [...]

[image: wackystuff] It’s that time of year again. As we lament the appearance of Christmas holiday decorations before Halloween, the search for Fall 2012 schools also begins in earnest here in San Francisco. School tours begin, 8th graders start shadowing at prospective high schools and parents across the city harken back to the days when, “We just [...]

After making a short stop on Patheos where I dipped my toe into WordPress waters, I fully committed to using the platform on my new blog. I’ll post later on my recent and full conversion from Typepad to WordPress, but for now, let me give some props to one service that has made the transition pretty darn easy, Woo [...]

You have heard it a million times, the cliché used in every cheesy movie break-up, “It’s not you . . . it’s me” as if somehow that eases the pain for the one being left?  Well, this is not really a break-up, but in regards to my leaving, it’s true. After blogging for Patheos.com since [...]
