It's writing primarily as an intro to my thoughts on one of the major positives that technology brings to the Church: an opportunty to create connections across generations. I hope you like for formation of words into thoughts.

One of the continual struggles in my life is the balance of offering my skills/thoughts to others and trying to not seem (or more importantly, actully BE) vain. Who am I to think that people care about my little pontifications on society/technology/items of awesomeness? And yet, every now and then I get an opportunity to put some form to my ideas and shoot them out the world via magazines, blogs, or - now - the readership of the Baptist Press.

And, in case you didn't know, I'm Southern Baptist. So yeah - this is a huge honor for me... to be able to share a few words with my denomiation on a regular basis. It's a humbling, cherished honor.

I like things that are awesome; are you awesome?
