How to Fix a WordPress Blog that Keeps Getting Hacked with Malware
I’ve been blogging for over 10 years now, and after a while you pretty much go through every hosting account, every possible theme, and eventually you will probably get hacked (if you run a self-hosted domain) at some point. Of course, my last theme, the one I have been using on this site now for…

This Time Next Week We’ll Be Over the Atlantic
I’m still finding it hard to believe that in less than a week our team will be en-route to Uganda to the scene pictured above. Our church has a team in Uganda right now that comes home on Thursday and that photo was one that was taken and posted a few days ago when they…

Our Life of Multitasking and Skimming in Search of Productivity
Maybe its photography over the past 20 years that has made me over sensitive to our cultural demands for productivity, which in turn has given way to our two worst developed habits in search of better productivity, multi-tasking and skimming text.

The Complaining Christian Can Leave, Please
I really don’t like to do any sort of “non-positive” post, but sometimes it is just to much. I would love to have someone chime in below and hear their opinion after you read my rant, BUT, if you do not want to read a critical article on our faith, just skip this one and…

The Church Body and the Internet, Part 1
The question about interactions between the Church and the Internet came up recently so I wanted to touch on a few basics of this topic. I am going to post several parts to this topic over the next month or two, so I consider this to be an introduction to the topic itself, not a…

Does a Church Really Need a Website?
I have been working with church websites since I first became a believer around 1995 and offered to do website work for a large church in Birmingham. Of course, this was long before churches decided that having a web presence was just as important for them as it was for the local civic center, and…
