Can I write a more personal blog post here? More for my sake than for yours. I am constantly struggling with the decision to launch out in faith or pull back to home base. Yesterday I pulled back. I’m now back in London. I came back early . . not sure if i made the…

Read MoreA web site for Betel
Today I am building a web site for a Drug Rehab ministry based in Spain. Great ministry – hundreds of guys going through their program in Italy, England, and Spain. Their existing web site Betel.org doesn’t really show off the ministry as good as it should, and it is all in Spanish. The centers in…

I am really grieved to tell you this. Jordon Cooper has just taken his blog offline. His wife, Wendy, has taken hers down also. Jordon has been a partner in blogdom with me for nearly 3 years. He started up right after seeing my blogspot blog, and ending up being a far more regular blogger…
Read MoreChurch co-opting or innovating?

Back again. We had a great time with the Carters in their wonderful 1500’s house. We also had a fantastic game (pheasant/goose/salmon) dinner with Mike at a very large estate where he is the head gardener. Nice to be with friends. Made good progress on my book also. Back in London and the big news…
