focus

I don’t know about you, but when I know I have meetings about specific topics, it’s really easy for me to focus going into those meetings.  This morning, I had 2 meetings about Christmas preparations at our church.  One was about the design of our kidz...

monitoring the twittersphere

Twitter is just a fad (just like the internet).  What a joke.  Twitter has become a part of life for many people.  It is not a means to deep relationships, but it is a great supplement to existing relationships and great way to grow in your vocation by networking with...
