Love the concept behind this new book by Dan Roam: 
The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures. I think in diagrams and have napkins stuffed into my Moleskin from table-top brainstorming.
I think every church needs a graphical mission that can fit on a napkin. At RCC, I used the guest lodge, the climbing teams and the sherpas to illustrate our mission of making disciples who can make disciples of Jesus Christ.
You lose the diagram, you lose your ability to communicate clearly with people the vision of your church.
i saw this book the other week and was totally drawn to, but also made me think of you! would love to read it soon.
