Coffee Recon
Being a guy interested in church planting, if I’m near a church I’ve heard about, I have to visit and see what they’re up to. We had the chance to visit National Community Church’s service at Union Station and their coffee house this weekend. I’m a huge fan of NCC’s coffee shop/meeting space/office space approach…

Vimeo’s where it’s at
YouTube is great, but if you want a jolt of creativity, you need to explore Vimeo. It’s another video site, but because it supports HD and has a cleaner look, it draws people who actually edit and shoot video. You get cool things like this: I love the editing style of this one. It’s not…

Overcommunicate vision
We’re launching a new small group study at Glenkirk, and one thing I know but I’m actually learning through practice is that you have to communicate vision every chance you get. It’s something I want to get better at. It’s an area I’m growing in. Without fail, every time I feel like I’m repeating myself…

Back in the saddle
Grete and I got back in town on New Year’s Eve just in time to watch the ball drop and go to bed. It’s hard to celebrate New Years on the West coast when you’re still on East coast time! Since we were in town this year, we also walked about three blocks from our…

Overheard on Flight 1865
Flight Attendant (over the speakers as we taxi to our gate yesterday): Please remain seated with your seat belts fastened. Pause. Please remain seated with your seat belts fastened. Pause. Lady in row seven – please remain seated with your seat belt fastened! — You gotta love the direct address via intercom! (After a number…

Googling ain’t researching
NYT Tech Columnist David Pogue made a great point in his last post. Saying “a Google search for ______ turned up ‘this many’ pages” doesn’t make something any more valid. “A Yahoo search for ‘cheap Gucci handbags’ returned almost 1 million results,” says an article about fake goods. Dudes, let’s get this straight: you’ll get…

Deep thoughts going elsewhere
So posting has been, and will continue to be, nonexistant for a while here. I have a lot I’d like to share but no real time or energy to focus on the web-world. Too much happening in the real world! Here’s a sampling of what’s happening in Jon’s life: Preaching this Saturday night Conducting interviews…

Grete’s conversation with the guy at Papa John’s
Pizza Guy: Thank you for calling Papa John’s, can you hold? Grete: No, I was just on hold and got disconnected. I just need to check on our order. Pizza Guy: Ok, please hold…

Accountability
Keeping accountable to others can be the difference between finishing well and failing miserably. But most of the time, it isn’t done in a way that provides much more than a slap on the wrist and a guilt trip. Usually there’s a list of questions regarding different sins you could have committed that week. Did…

A blog even 8-year-olds can read
Recently, a few of my wonderful family members have pointed to a blog reading level test that will tell you at what reading level your blog or website registers. Grete came in with a smirk two days ago mentioning her blog was at a post-graduate level. Yesterday, I received an email from my mother-in-law mentioning…
