Did you know that the U.S. donates almost $1.4 trillion dollars to charity every year? Or that the charity that has the highest revenue is Lutheran Services in America at $16.6 billion? I didn’t either. All this is according to Mint.com, which I found over at Adam McLane’s blog. Go there for lots of more […]

Here’s what I’m looking for: The ability to send emails to different segments of a master list (youth, prayer requests, announcements, […]
Friday Frivolty
I’m not feeling too creative today, so here’s a pretty amazing video that probably took way too much time to make. Come back next week for a series on a trinitarian model of youth ministry.
ELCA Names
I’ve noticed since joining an ELCA church three years ago that the groups in the ELCA do not seem compelled like other Christian groups to come up with cool names for their organizations. You know, some might call their older groups something catchy like “Prime Time.” In the ELCA, it seems like we use only […]
The Ultimate Ubiquitous Capture Device?
In case you didn’t know, I’m a subscriber (though not necessarily a hardcore enthusiastic legalist) to David Allen’s personal productivity system for Getting Things Done (for an introduction to this system, go here). Over the past couple of years, I’ve played with different ways to implement the system, from an all-paper system to a hybrid […]

Dallas Independent School District is a Joke
I don’t live in the boundaries of DISD, but it is by far the largest school district in our metroplex area, so it gets all of the media coverage. And for good reason. They are clueless. I have lived in the area for less than three years, and in that amount of time, these stories […]
