A Fresh Coat of Paint with a Fresh Vision

How did you get here?
You probably haven't been here before, but I've thrown a fresh coat of paint on this place, and have changed the underlying architecture. I've moved the site from Tumblr (which is a great platform) to ExpressionEngine. A previous iteration of this site was on EE, but I could never get myself to login and post to my site. I just didn't have anything to say. My hope is with this new design and a renewed focus I'll be inspired to post more frequently.
In the past year, a bunch of change has happened in my life. I've been working for a great church for over a year and I genuinely feel satisfied and passionate in what I do. I love the challenges and strategy involved in my work and the impact it has on people. I still do freelance web design and development, just not on a full-time level. I want to take more time to help others who are in my situation do their work better, which has led to...
A New Goal, A Renewed Focus
My personal site has taken various forms and has seen sporadic levels of activity, but it's always been a place for me to discuss things that are passionate to me. More and more I've found my focus has been on ministry and the use of technology to that end. With that, I feel the next step is to morph the content of this place to reflect that. You'll start seeing posts that support this site's new goal, which is to help people do ministry better. That's not to say I won't throw in the odd entry here and there linking to some randomness that has my attention at the moment, but generally things will stay on topic. If you want to get the more personal details of my life, you can befriend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.
I really would like to see this place turn into a community where we can share tips and insight into ministry technology. I hope this can be a place where even the novice feels comfortable in the conversation. I'm excited to take a new direction and hope you'll subscribe to my RSS feed and enjoy this process with me.
