… by wide open spaces (and don’t like the Dixie Chicks’ song by the same name), then you should read today’s post on Seth’s blog. He hits the nail on the head. For a person with the strengths of futuristic ideation, like myself, this is right on. What if we took it a step further [...]
If you haven’t followed the “balloon boy” saga, here is a brief outline of the story as it currently stands. You couldn’t write this stuff. This story is a perfect example of what Seth wrote about last week. He writes: “So much time and effort is now put into finding followers, accumulating comments and generating [...]
I’ve never seen an ad for Southern California. All I’ve ever heard is from people who’ve visited there. They talk incessantly about the beauty of the mountains and ocean, how everyone has a tan, how the weather is always cooperative, and how people seem more laid back.

Just thought you’d like some examples of this at work. Our church doesn’t do much advertising. We spend most of our time on making what we do well even [...]
In case you’ve been wondered where I’ve been the past few weeks. Yesterday, I launched a Beta version of Splodea.com. This will be a website devoted to promoting artists and servant organizations through limited time/limited run tee shirts. In the end, I really want to start community…. a conversation. It’s always a bit strange and [...]
Thought for the week is totally from the head of Seth Godin. I suggest you visit Seth’s post about Sprinting, immediately. Perhaps it will make you want to turn your phone, email, and everything else often with the goal of accomplishing one huge thing! Doing something big this week. We will be back in heavy [...]
I’ve been reading Seth Godin’s work of art over the past few weeks. What has really grabbed me is that many people feel as if they don’t have the time to be totally remarkable. The only way a business or organization will succeed in the future is by embracing and amplifying it’s God-given uniqueness. We [...]
