Happy Birthday to my blog

Today in 1993 the first website went online. Also, today in 2005 I (officially) started blogging.

I started out on Blogger, moved to WordPress and now I manage four or five different blogs on a regular basis.

Surprisingly my first post was a little future telling:

So I gave in. I got myself a blog. I’ve been fighting this for some time, and I don’t really know why. Maybe it was because I hate fads — even though I love being on the cutting edge of everything. Is it just me or is that really ironic?
And despite what it may look like, this is actually my first posting on this blog. All the earlier entries are simply postings of my old columns that people seem to want to continue to read.
Anyways, I’ll start posting my weekly columns/random thoughts and maybe a podcast in the future.
I’m very intriguied by the whole podcast idea. If you haven’t heard anything about it, check out podcast.net to find a listing of what’s currently out there. I’m sure I’ll jump on that bandwagon as soon as I can find enough content to post a weekly show (sounds like my dream of writing a book). There’s so much I want to do — and so little time and content.
Well, so there you have it. I’m live in the blog world.
Peace!

Since then I have started a podcast (which has gone through it’s own changes) and written my first book.

As my time, schedules and interests evolve so does publishing online.

There’s no telling what the next eight years will be bring (or even 80) but I’m looking forward to it.

Thanks for joining me on the journey.

PS: I’ve had the privilege of being on Power Talk several times in the last few months. Always enjoy getting the opportunity.

This week we talked with Steve Knight and Phil Shepherd about issues facing the Church and how we can regain the trust of those outside the walls of the church.

Talking about forgiveness and second chances

89.7 Power FM

I had the privilege of spending some time on Powertalk this past Sunday talking with host (and friend) Rick Walker about forgiveness and second chances.

The audio is about 30 minutes long.

And you can listen here:

Or download it here.

I’m scheduled to be back on Powertalk in a week or so – Sunday, April 7, with friends Steve Knight and Phil Shepherd. It’ll be an Open Line show so you never know what’ll come up in the discussion. Should be a lot of fun!

If you’re in the DFW Megaplex listen in at 9 p.m. on 89.7 FM or you can listen online at 897powerfm.com or via their mobile apps.

What do you think we should talk about on April 7?

I’m on a Powertalk Radio…

Rick Walker invited me to join him for Open Line on Powertalk again last night. Always a great time.

Last night was open-line along with discussion about teen dating and abstinence.

I’ve posted the audio over on my drop.io account if you want to download or listen to the show (or you can just download the show from the Power FM site as well).

See if you can hear us squirm in our chairs about mid-way through the show :-).

Powertalk podcast

My buddy Rick Walker asked me to come join him last night at Power FM for his show Powertalk. It was open line so the topics ran from persecution, blessings and curse to end times and cow tipping.

At one point I think Rick got a little carried away and called me “the theological voice of our generation.” Luckily we passed that title off to a caller before too long.

I had also forgotten how funny it is to hear yourself on the radio or other recordings. I always think I have a much higher voice until I hear a recording of my voice or hear myself talking with headphones on. Crazy stuff.

Anyways, all of that to say the podcast of the show is up.

You can listen here. Be sure and listen to a cameo phone call from my best friend Matt.
