I posted a tweet/status yesterday: Shhh. Telling people about Christ is not as effective as showing people Christ. After a few conversations about it I thought I’d expand on my thoughts a little. The thought came after my son and I were talking about someone who had demonstrated their street preaching. And as we talked [...]
Yep, this is a bragging post. Ty just gave me the best father’s day gift. Background. My lowest point as a father was taking Tyler (that’s what we called him back then before he became an adult and now prefers Ty) to Cedar Point. He was probably 10. Which was great because he was old [...]
My oldest graduated today. So very proud of him and uber excited to see what is ahead. It’s going to be huge. In August he will be moving to Texas and SAGU and has been accepted into the Oaks School of Leadership. OSL is an amazing program, it’s going to be great. But what makes [...]
Ok, here’s a rundown of my favorite commercials VW : This won’t sell any cars (hardly even knew it was a VW) but so stickin’ cute and reminded me of something I’d do with Parker. Bridgestone : here’s more on why I loved what they did) Doritos : funniest ad of the night. Chrysler : [...]

If you don’t subscribe to the MondayMorningMemo, do yourself a favor and subscribe. Great stuff from “The Wizard of Ads”. Today was no different. In it he concludes with this statement: you determine the success of the campaign when you pick what you’re going to promote. I didn’t choose working with the church to be [...]
I recently changed my profile pic on twitter, facebook, etc. I was surprised at the response and the feeling that came along with that. It was freeing, like the beginning of letting people know who I really I am. Before After I really liked my old picture, it was cool…but it was too cool. I’m [...]
Okay, not really of course but if you go to conferences and only take in the sessions you’re missing out on the best part. Make it a priority to connect with people. Not just the people you came with, but those you haven’t seen in awhile and please…make new connections. When you do attend a [...]
I love this! What a great way to tell the story and use billboards in a new, and even interactive way. Imagine a church putting up a billboard, next to a Hooters billboard, or better yet a Strip Joint billboard that said something like “We love you girls.” , “Come as you are.” or something [...]
I have said that Seth Godin is truly a marketing genius…and I stand by that. But he’s jumped the shark as he tries his hand talking about design. In his post he claims the really good design is easier to learn and do, and requiring less talent. I disagree with Seth’s premise that a few [...]
