Friday Blog Roundup – July 18
I’m sooo late with this post. It’s been a long week as we prepare to move our church into a storefront from a school building where we’ve been meeting for nearly three years. Please pray for us!
Here’s a look at some posts that caught my eye this week…
I have been a big fan of Google Docs since it’s release. Now, the folks at Google have added some fantastic templates to the mix. Merlin Mann speaks for many in his blog post on this topic when he says that Google has upped the ante on Microsoft with these templates. Over 300 are now available.
J. Mark Bertrand writes at a few different sites but I’ve always enjoyed his posts on Bible design. His love of quality mimics mine but I don’t think I have his budget with my three kids still at home. One day perhaps but not now! This week, Bertrand writes about his soon to arrive Allan’s ESV Bible. I think he’s just about convinced me to order one sometime this fall!
If you just can’t enough lists on productivity hacks for your life, Leo Babauta has taken it a notch higher with his post this week on “The List to Beat all Lists”. Check it out here.
Another post from Merlin Mann. This time it’s tips from Kurt Vonnegut on “Writing Better”. Anyone who blogs should read this.
…and finally
Nelson Searcy referenced some information he had posted on how to have a Newcomers Reception at your churches. Connecting with newcomers is so key to all that we do to try to build our churches. I think you’ll benefit from reading this little bit.
That’s it for today. Have fun reading these and I’ll catch you again on Monday!
