There's Something in the Air

Watched the Macworld keynote yesterday. WOW. Those guys have it together. Style, design, innovation, presentation. The Macbook Air is simply amazing. Simple. Elegant. Lovely. Everyone but the biggest Apple diehard knows that their products are not the highest quality. Or easiest to use. Despite what they claim. But Steve Jobs ability to “sell” the idea. Bring passion. Excite the masses. His presentation skills are second to known. His direction and will lead his company to new and higher things seemingly every year.

Why can’t we as followers of Jesus do just as good a job? Why can’t we inspire the masses with the product we have to offer? Why don’t people line up to hear our story? Well, sometimes they do…

Or should we be after that? Jesus was never interested in the crowd. He was never about attention. He was seemingly devoid of ego (not accused of having too much). Yet His movement (company) changed the entire world. More than any Mac or iPod or iAnything.

I love and am fascinated by good design and innovation. I appreciate the quality and the passion. But I’m not sure if that should be translated to our life of faith…

Together again for the first time...

It's been forever but I'm hoping to start blogging again, again... I've started this over once before and I'd like to again. So here goes...

Not sure where to start. Life's been very busy. Three boys. All under 8. A beautiful wife whose about ready to ditch all the "stay-at-home" stuff and go to work. A new role at church. Lot's more responsiblity at work. Many books read. Many new thoughts. Lots to write about. And so I'll begin.

I'm still a student/follower of Jesus. I still can't image life without that relationship. I'm not that much better at "it" then I was before. If that's possible to say... Still amazed by grace. It's a "thought that can change the world."

Stay tuned. I'm back and will be posting daily for a while...
