This post from Henry Zonio made me think. And I’m hoping to learn as he unpacks this.
This post from Dan Scott gave me hope… that we’re all trying to figure out the same stuff.
This post from Anthony Prince made me evaluate… can your Children’s Pastor take a Sunday off?
This post from Sam Luce was just a little controversial… and I hope more join the conversation.
This post from Jonathan Cliff made me laugh. Wish I were that creative.
Why do you blog? Link your faves here. Or (better yet) blog some of your faves this week.

It used to be for fun and to process thoughts…
But now people actually read it so after Orange and really after Jesus talking to me a bit he let me know that I need to use it as a tool to teach others. It's my gift and it's what I need to start doing with my blog. So my why recently changed hahaha
and some of my fav's are Seth Godin, Sam, Henry, Kenny, Jonathan and you hahaha. Always awesome insight from you guys!!

Thanks for the mention Gina. I am humbled and honoured.
I read a post one time from Seth Godin that if you've got ideas, then you need to put them out there. He was the reason I started a blog three years ago. Then a few months ago, I read another post of his that said if you blog, then blog often; don't get hung up on perfect grammar and sentence structure. Just get your ideas out. That post was the push for me to start blogging more frequently and regularly.
Why do I blog now? I think the biggest reason is to help me articulate why I do the things I do. It is a discipline for me to put my thoughts in written form. I then learn through the conversation that happens through the comments and am able to refine my thoughts and communicate more effectively. Blogging is also a way of making myself accountable for all the things I talk about and do.
