Monday Morning Run-Down

• This Friday is Whiteboard. Your prayers are appreciated.
• We are known by what we pontificate... or by what we produce. The winds have been shifting for me over the past last year. Blogging is taking less of a priority.
• For everything I produce, there's a year of backroom conversations that made it possible. Today is a huge backroom day for me. The fruit won't be seen for a year.
• My son Wyatt has bad allergies to wheat, dairy, soy, gluten, corn, you name it. We finally found a pizza parlor that serves gluten and dairy free pizza alongside its regular offerings. The joy I saw in my son's face almost made me cry. First time in 6 years he could eat pizza without getting a rash and his eyes swelling up.
• My apologies to those with worse problems that that. =)
• I'm currently engaged in a system whereby another book will result. 750 words a week. It will take me one solid year to produce a 60,000 word book. I'm half-way there. This book will define the next 10 years of my life.
• Registrations are pouring in every day for STORY, and I've only been blogging about it. I couldn't be more excited about this year's experience. 5,000 stacks of promo cards are hitting mailboxes this month. It's about to get serious for those few hundred remaining seats.
• This is one great post.
• I only have to meet 3-4 iconic church leaders before all of my heroes of the faith will have been de-pedestaled. As they should be. If you idolize a prominent church leader, it's because you've never worked for them.
• LifeChurch wanted me to tell you about The Porn Event.
• This is one amazing photog/cinematog -rapher.
• I'm excited to meet my Dream Year class this Thursday at a special reception in Virginia Beach. I've never met most of them in person. But they're all dear friends by now. 
• If you lost your job in ministry due to the economy and don't know what to do, I'd like to help. In Dream Year we talk extensively about how to monetize your skills. E-mail me if you're open to having me walk you through this over a phone call or two.

If I have a friend who is still working for the ministry but only part time, can I have him contact you for how to monetize his skills for the other half of his work week?

I'm curious to know what Pizza parlor you're digging.

Jennifer, advice doesn't go over well among strangers.
