It’s shaping up to be another really busy week. But here’s a question for all of you who visit here.
How can I make this blog better?
Content: Would you like to see me post more practical how-to’s? More depth? More questions? More Stories? More controversial topics? More reviews? More resources? More serial posts? More struggles? More convictions? More Focus? More on certain topics? Church planting? Creativity? Leadership? Technology? Faith? Life? Culture? Photos? Something else specific you’d like me to post on?
Format and Style: What are your thoughts on… Ads? Post frequency? Post length? Visuals? Font size? Header? Navigation? Organization? Clutter? Referencing? Interaction/Response time? Linking? Theme? Formatting? Image size, Load times? Other suggestions?
Otherwise, I’d just continue doing whatever the heck I want. So here’s your chance, don’t worry I won’t take any offense to any comments, I think.
* No promises on me doing anything about it, I’d appreciate the feedback!

Three stories I’ve read online in the past week have made it into my real-world conversations.
Check out:
Strangely Beautiful by Deana as she shares about her ‘dysfunctional family’
Cindy Beall shares her story in five short blog entries/chapters on the day her life completely changed
and oddly, Alan’s post on the toronto blizzard that ‘excused’ people from going to church

It always feels odd when people I interact with give me these glowing remarks about who I am and something I’ve just done. The pervading thought in my mind is often how the substance of those comments are so very temporal.
I’ve likely been far better and been far worse, but people gauge you based on what they see of you upfront, or most recently.
I feel the same way with blogs. Current blogging structures are all ordered in reverse chronological order giving the random reader the most recent post rather than the most significant post or posts that resonate with the heart of the blog.
Anyhow, I’m going to begin doing roundups of my best posts each month and year from now on and hopefully that helps give this blog a bit more flare and identity.
Here are November’s picks – feel free to continue interacting on any of them.
- Tantric Preaching
- Pastoring vs. Jesus
- Multi-Ethnicing a church
- I declare – “No Church Sunday”
- Pulling hearts out
