- On Friday I had lunch with Evan McBroom, who heads a Christian communications consulting firm called Fishhook, out of Indianapolis. It's always fun talking with someone else in my field. I've spent my whole career working, basically, alone when it comes to people in my areas of expertise. Nobody with whom to talk shop. Evan's a great guy with lots of expertise and what sounds like a first-rate staff.
- I really like Bruce Springsteen's new album. Downloaded it from iTunes.
- The Colts are doing a lot better than I expected this year, considering all the folks they lost. But they're humming right along.
- Pam and I are watching the third season of "The Office," which came out on DVD a few weeks ago. That is such a hysterical show. Last night I dreamed that I was working for The Missionary Church denomination, and that Jim (from the Office) was their bookstore manager. No sign of Pam the receptionist.
- A terrible injustice occurred last week on "Dancing with the Stars." The fellow who got booted, some model whose name I don't even know, was among the best and certainly the most entertaining. And they kept Wayne Newton? He of the plastic face, the result of way too many facelifts?
- On Saturday Pam and I traveled to Mason, Mich., to attend one of the Lay Training Events our denomination is holding in six different regional settings. Probably 40 people attended, plus another dozen in the youth tract. Pat Jones, our Director of Healthy Church Ministries, led the sessions, and he had lots of good stuff and superb stories.

About Me
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.My posts stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense. But the continuing thread is serving God faithfully through the local church.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
