Friday Blog Roundup - July 4
Happy Independence Day! I hope you and your family will enjoy the day and for those who can, a nice extended weekend. Here’s a look at some blog posts you may want to check out to pass the time with some interesting reading…
Lorie Marrero has written another great article, this time on organizing your passwords. This is advice I need to take to heart as I have a hodge podge system of keeping track of the various passwords I use at different sites. As organized as I am on other fronts, I’m not on this one. Very timely and very uselful. Thanks Lorie!
Joel Falconer has a nice piece about creating a portable office with a flash drive. I really like the concept. As a church planter, my main office is in my home but I’m out a lot and it helps to have things with you that you need. This article gives good advice on how to get started. This along with web 2.0 content is the future of my office. All of my reference materials for bible study are available through a pay site I use and a flash drive can take all of the “local” items I need to stay mobile.
Not that this is really a link for reading, but you may want to take note of the new Erwin McManus book ready to hit shelves soon. Ben Arment teases us with a picture. Thanks for the heads up Ben. If you are a fan of McManus’ writing, get this on your wishlist soon as I have!
One of the best articles I’ve read this week I read early this morning as I was preparing for my day. Adrian writes “Don’t bring me Answers, Bring me More Questions!” and he’s spot on with his thoughts. Many times, the best way to approach this is through a process called “Active Wondering”. (At least, that’s what I call it). This article focuses on just that. The gist of it is that by just relying on answers, you limit your possibilities. It will make you think!
And then…..
Devin Hudson is a fellow church planter in Las Vegas and writes a quick, to the point, post about simple ministry. If you lead a church, take 45 seconds and read this. It’s point is well taken.
Okay, that’s it for today. I’m off to spend some time with my family. Have a blessed weekend and I’ll see you again on Monday!
