It's been surprising to me to see how few churches are on twitter. In my opinion," if a church is NOT on twitter, they should have their heads examined". If churches (yes, there are exceptions) are on twitter, they are typically doing it wrong. What do I mean? Some churches and pastors believe that Twitter is a broadcast medium or a bullhorn. It's called "Social Media" not "ME, ME, ME media". When a church or pastor is on Twitter,… Continue

"People may forget what you say, people may forget what you do, but they will never forget how you made them feel"



See photo above. It's my son Devon and his teacher.



Today was the first day of school for Devon. He's started 3rd grade today. It was the first time that I met his teacher. I was only at Devon's school for just a few minutes this morning. I quickly noticed that Devon's teacher made everyone FEEL important,… Continue

Last month, Pastor Steve Shears of Current Church in Ormond Beach, FL came to a tweetup (a gathering of people who are on twitter).

Yesterday, Kelly and Pastor Steve’s… Continue

The church I attend and haven't been kicked out of yet, www.firstchurchpo.org, is doing a big community party this coming Sunday. Some nutty person from the church thought it would be a great idea to GO to the homes surrounding the church and personally invite people to the event. After church yesterday, my son Devon and I took to the streets with invitations to the event. We knocked on doors. We rang doorbells. The 3rd home we walked up to had… Continue

I've killed people with my tongue. I've used gossip to hurt others. I did it today and I knew I was doing it. Gossip is so tasty when it's pouring out of my mouth. It's strange that I would gossip about others when my family and I have been hurt by gossip. Here is a good reminder below from God's word when I'm getting ready to start spewing gossip from my flapping lips.



Don't bad-mouth each other, friends. It's God's Word, his Message, his Royal Rule, that takes a beating in that… Continue

I am a large, un-hip 48 year old guy. I have been involved with “marketing and promotion” since I was 19 years old. I am not an extremely intelligent guy. I barely made it through high school and I partied my way through college. I didn’t walk out with a degree but I did become an expert at drinking beer. At first, this whole social media marketing thing seemed a bit overwhelming. Why? I’m the dude voted most likely to think that “The Dukes of Hazzard” was a documentary. I just learned to use a… Continue
