Answering the question :: What should I blog about?

March 4, 2010 — Leave a comment

I have several friends (and family members) with blogs that get updated somewhat frequently. Others are far more occasional, and still others, I have to wonder if they’ve forgotten their password.

When I ask them about it, their usual response is, “Well I don’t know what to write about.”

I understand, I’ve had writer’s block before.

But there’s one thing I’ve found that gets me over my writer’s block every time — writing.

Jose and Sally

It’s been a while since we’ve had one of our infamous dinner clubs at our house. I always had lots of fun having folks over for a themed meal — with everyone participating in the cooking and eating of the meal.

Bring your ideas to the table

Ted Kennedy (from wikipedia)

On Tuesday, America lost a lifelong champion of the under resourced.

Regardless of your political view, everyone I’ve heard who’s talked about Sen. Edward Kennedy has said he always fought for the under resourced and always worked to build compromise wherever possible to make landmark legislation happen.

November 12, 2008 — Leave a comment

Posed this question via Twitter (and Facebook) today.

Q of the day :: (140 characters or less) what would your ideal church/community of faith look like?

Here are the responses thus far…

Jess_Hays @jdblundell a gathering together of christ-followers accepting of each others brokeness united to worship our savior. Small and intimate.

darrinreeves @jdblundell it would look like a festival I was at this summer…no one batted an eyelid about what you looked like etc…it had all sorts

truckerfrank @jdblundell A Scottish pub

truckerfrank @Jess_Hays Drat your answer is better than mine. I’m going to pout.

robgt2 @jdblundell re qotd – church would be in/own a community center and serve the community. Or in St. Arbucks! And like @truckerfrank’s.

What would you add?
