Thanks for coming. I just started this website blog in the
Spring of 2008.
It's a collection of my ideas, thoughts, favorite resources, and musing about
church stuff.

The purpose of this site and blog:
Most people know me from my work in software for Christian education (sundaysoftware.com), and with the Workshop Rotation Model (rotation.org). I'm a Presbyterian minister who has been serving in Christian education for many years.
Over the years, I've found, created, or become aware of some great Church resources and products ~things which many other people seem genuinely happy to hear about. This new website concentrates that info in one place.
I've also learned quite a bit both IN the church office, and observing it from the church pew. This blog tells you what I know, what I think is wrong, and how to fix it. And some people may not agree with it, but there you go. The truth is out there.
The opinions expressed on this blog and site are mine alone. I've written many articles over the years for various church-related magazines. I've been called an "expert" and "guru," but also a "contrarian," "iconoclast," and "loose cannon" when it comes to the church. I've also been called a "pain in the ass."
I like to think I'm a realist who has "lost my ability to hide my incredulity" at the things that shouldn't be in the church. Mostly, I have found that other people agree with some of my insights and opinions, and find them useful in their own ministry, ...so I keep offering them.
You notice that you can leave "comments" in my blog, and I encourage you to do so. If you have a great CE resource, product or blog you'd like to see on this page, let me know.
