- Love Seth Godin's thoughts on the rise of artists and the death of the resume. I haven't used one in a while. But there's a huge segment of the population that just wants to punch in and punch out and drink beer on weekends
- I'm three days away from submitting book proposal number two. Writing like a fiend.
- Headed to Knoxville tomorrow to work with Pastor Chris Stephens on the LIT conference coming on April 29. Amazing line-up and event: Pete Wilson, Johnny Hunt, Pat Summitt and tons of surprises
- I'm going to the 99 percent conference in NYC in April. Speakers get announced on Feb 2, but they said: "We confirmed are one of THE leading voices in the design world, a ground-breaking pioneer in the field of design & education, one of the most respected entrepreneurs and VCs in the industry, a world-renowned storyteller, and an amazing social entrepreneur."
- Website for the Whiteboard Sessions is now live! Seeing lots of groups sign-up to make it a conference AND staff retreat in Virginia Beach at one time.
- Our northern Virginia home comes up for availability to rent on April 1. If you're a suburban DC-er, let me know if you're looking for a little homestead
- @ShaunKing needs to start a Blackwater Humanitarian Rescue organization. What an incredible guy. "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus..."
- Listening to John Stott's preaching this week. Legendary.
- I can tell how stressed I am by how much UFC I watch.
- If I were Perry Noble and witnessed 15,000 people in my church coming together in an arena, I'd be really tempted to shut down the multi-sites and do it every week.




LOL - I can tell how stressed I am by how much UFC I watch - DITTO! I love watching it.

A military family in our church is transitioning up to DC in early April. Sent them your email so they might be contacting you soon.
