Tuesday Rewind: An Open Letter to Pastors
On some Tuesdays, I go back into the archives and dig up something that still relates today. For the next 5 weeks, I am going to repost the Top 5 Posts from 2011. Today's post is #1 and it comes from February 21, 2011.

Here's what I am thinking: Twitter I am suspecting this is going to be the hardest part of ...
I’m Back!
I'm back from my month long Social Media Fast. Did you miss me? I figured my first post should be a little look at what this month has been like without Twitter, Facebook, and blogs. Week 1 Countless times a day, I found myself starting to log into Facebook. It made me realize the number of "breaks" I take during the average day to consume Social Media. Once I ...
iFast
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a tech-junky. In particular, I'm a bit of an Apple Fanboy. I am always tapping away at my MacBook Pro or iPhone or iPad. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can become a bit obsessive. In fact, I've been thinking about my social media consumption and production lately and I think it's time for a break.
