So here are some notes from the first full day of speakers at the Catalyst conference for you. Not at all exhaustive, but just some quotes and ideas from some of the presenters. Andy Stanley Andy started off the conference by speaking on moral authority out of Nehemiah 5:6-18. Nehemiah was able to lead the […]
So I will catch up on some Catalyst posts this weak so hopefully you can glean a little of the knowledge, inspiration, and encouragement we did last week. However, the report wouldn’t be complete without the morning prelude to the day. The accident in our rental car. However, I will say I can feel a […]
Just thought you should all know that our new youth pastor, Brandon, has joined the real blogosphere. (He used to blog on MySpace. That doesn’t count.) So go check out his blog and encourage him to keep it up!
Day one of the official Catalyst conference is over. Again it's late. My notes are in the car, and it would take too long anyway. I'll try to post session notes tomorrow morning if I have time. But in the meantime, allow me to share some of my personal journey over the last 24 hours […]

Early on in the process of blogging I learned of an RSS reader. If you don't know what that is, all you need to know for starters is you need one. It changed my virtual life. I've stuck with Bloglines for the past several years, but alas, this weekend I switched. I decided to move […]
