A Humble Request

I sit here unable to write anything that feels significant.  It’s been this way the last couple of weeks. I know why.  But I still try to force thoughts and ideas when honestly my attentions are directed elsewhere. Today as I sat down to stare at the screen for another bout of writer’s block, I […]

Work the System

Recently my husband and I implemented a new system for managing our correspondence at home.  With both of us working full-time jobs, each of us running personal small businesses and a non-profit, plus plenty of extra-curricular activities… well, let’s just say our home administration was out. of. control!

I’m Better Than You

Sunday Lessons

There are two things on my mind today after another great day at Cross Point.  These are personal observations of my own interactions.  And while they were set in the context of our Sunday services, these are really two transferable principals for leaders in any environment. 1) Make the first move. People are dying to […]

Do You Want to be Exposed?

We all want to be known. We strive for connection, making a mark, gathering facebook friends, twitter followers and blog subscribers.  We look for ways to be seen and to be heard.

I’m a Junkie

I have no shame in admitting I’m a Catalyst Junkie. I have literally attended every Atlanta event since the second year it started. How many of you can top that??!! This year I had the privilege of being a lab speaker at Catalyst West (which was amazing by the way) and in just a few […]
