in this web 2.0 world we live in, i find myself developing the urge to twitter...
no. scratch that. twitter is no good... it's gotta be a twitpic.
after all, seeing is believing, right?
no... i'll have to *offer* more.
i have the technology in my hand.
it's a candybar-sized box of circuitry that was once unfathomable a few short years ago.

B -- you're my hero -- good stuff!

i ain't perfect and know that i do not give 100% in the practice of Eph 5:25ff... and she ain't perfect in living out Eph 5:22. BUT, I love how we are both moving ever closer to that end as we submit ourselves to God. if neither one of us were open to refinement (read: correction and readjusting of attitudes and perspectives toward one another) through the Holy Spirit then we won't be able to live honestly before God and we'd just be living a shell of an existence... and then there *really* wouldn't be much "man" or "woman" worth tryin' to feel superior over. We'd just be feedin' into ourselves and getting worse!

I was just thinking today that I could spend an AWFUL LOT of time jumping from link to link off of everyone's blogsites. That's how I found the RagamuffinSoul.

There is no possible way I can read all 220 feeds I've subscribed myself to at Bloglines, but I do try to, throughout the day, peek in at various ones on my "Frequent-cies" list.

The one blog I really try to read is Ben Arment's [ http://www.benarment.com/ ]. There are several reasons I go...

- I know Ben personally -- his passion for leadership and reaching the lost in our local area is inspiring
- I respect Ben's experiences and insights with regards to leadership, evangelism, and church 'marketing' with creativity and relevance
- his blog site is clean and simple
- I always take something away from Ben's posts

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » Sleep. What a Novel Idea.

transitionpete — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 09:43:00 -0000

Who... who...
The bane of being a night owl, eh?

I'm a night owl. I find that I'm the most creative and productive from the evening hours on -- and the later the hour the better. Mind you, I like me some sleep, and depending on how my day was, what I need to do the next day, or if I know that my wife is "needing" me, I'll try to hit the sack earlier -- TRY.

Last night, I was up until about 2:30am... and up this morning at 7am. I think it might be more of the same tonight.

My wife doesn't quite understand MY economy of time and the correlation of a late night with creativity and productivity. Is there some sort of scientific study or something out there that will "prove" my (our) point?

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » 4500 Visits…Yesterday

transitionpete — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 12:10:16 -0000

Eeeeewwwwww... this is a tough one!

There is a part of me that cringes when things are done in such a way as to seem contrary to what might be effective. I tend to agree with Chip when we think what is "uncool" or "not relevant" cannot be effective. If the Truth (capital T) is in it, God can certainly use it!

God isn't so much concerned about "coolness" as he is about "truthfulness."

With that said, what Chad is saying about shedding the "moron" label is equally true... we need to make sure that we're speaking our culture's language and communicate Truth as effectively as possible -- by God's grace.

But that's the point, isn't it -- God's grace? He'll speak regardless of "cool."

Re: Ragamuffin Soul » 4500 Visits…Yesterday

transitionpete — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 16:39:27 -0000

Los, I agree with you... that's what I meant when I agreed with Chad about this. We're behind the ball on this one and we most definitely need to step up our impact on this world -- it's gotta be smarter and better than what the world offers.

Looks like fun! (and gorgeous too!)

I have to say that jumping off a 35 foot face seems pretty scary. Once, I had the chance to jump off a 50 or 60 footer out at Smith Mtn Lake (famous for "What About Bob")... it scared the bejeezus out of me to think about doing it and even more so to stand at the edge...

I finally took the plunge and now I'm "proud" to say that I'd do it again! I actually went and jumped a few more times!

Exhilarating!

I'm a worship leader at my church and I "get to be seen" all the time. This past Sunday, before service, I walked up to a buddy of mine, shook hands, blabbed a bit and was going to go "do my thing." I stopped when I saw a person I did not recognize. I walked up and intro'd myself, he intro'd himself, and then I ask how long he's been coming out to our church...

To my surprise, he said "about a year."

?!?!??!??!?!?!??!!!!

Of course, I can't meet and greet everyone, and I guess I am at fault for not making the effort every Sunday, but to miss this guy for a whole year?!?!?!

Crikey.

Our church is generally a very friendly church. We make it a point to have a "trained" greeter team to ID and direct new folks so our visitors might be able to sense that connection is easier than they might have thought before walking through the front door. We also have the occasional built-in time during service where our pastor will "groupletize" -- during sermon -- for quick intros and then engage in a brief, but directed discussion about whatever topic that morning.

We try hard (perhaps not hard enough) to foster interaction and connection. I'd love to hear your ideas about what you do, or how you connect with visitors.

Quick story... our pastor set the congregation up one Sunday with a buddy of mine posed as a bum one cold morning. He was asked to linger around the front of the church. Pastor wanted to rebuke our congregation for not loving the homeless and yada yada yada... but he couldn't.

Our greeter team went out of the way to help him feel welcome, invited him in out of the cold, offered coffee, etc. Pastor was blown away, pleasantly surprised, and blessed by the kindness exhibited by our congregation as a whole!

My buddy, who had been attending another church (but floundering) decided to join our church after his experience -- he was blown away too!

We just need to get back to the basics and just love on people, eh?

Anything less would be pretentious, Phariseeical, religious charade.

So true. However, I think you have to first understand what the purpose of one's blog is. I'm still trying to figure mine out...

Do I want it to be more of a personal journaling type blog, or is it more informational or educational, or is it promotional or entertainment, etc...

I think I'd prefer a more balanced approach -- something personal yet of interest for many -- but I don't think I'm there yet.

if i may suggest 2 things...
1. lighten the lightblue parts of the 'snowjam' header a little -- i feel like it gets lost in all that blue.

2. i think the splatter background with all the details text is tough to read. maybe give the text a bit more depth or try darkening the lightblue part to give the text a bit more "pop"

I hear ya, Jeff. I didn't mean to imply that myself... I was merely using it as the title for my post as it was taken from the Church Marketing Sucks site. They're just positing that we, as churches, ought to be more creative than just taking the stock photos that are out there, free or not. That's why I posted what I posted to say that I WANTED to use and DID use my own pic. It just so happens that I preempted myself and we ended up with using the stock photo instead on my original.

I blog mainly because it's an outlet for me to explore the interweb and CONNECT with others like you. I also blog because it's an outlet for me in the vein of creativity.

I started blogging a little over a year ago, but never really found my 'groove' with it. I tried various 'free' blogs out there and found that I was having a hard time getting into it for whatever reason... that is until I thought I'd get my own blog -- ie. buy a domain name (transitionpete.org), download and install WordPress, and then pour in my creativity to make the site my own. That was in January 2006... so, really, I've been blogging for almost 6 months!

My top FOUR blogs (for now) are: Ben Arment, Los Whittaker, Ben AbuSaada, and Anne Jackson. I could list more, but I'll refrain. Each of these are good - to me - in their unique ways, but all of them are fun, insightful, and personable!

I don't have an answer to my last question... yet.

Re: Enlightenment

transitionpete — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 13:27:03 -0000

Bryon, that was more like 50 cents worth of comment! Good stuff!

Thanks for sharing your story. I guess I never looked at Buddhism from a pratical and relational standpoint -- it's very interesting to note that, while the end goal is peace and unity and harmony, the "road" to get there is quite selfish (inward)... "I must do what I can/must to reach the level of enlightenment." Is that a fair assement?

It seems, from what I've listened to so far, that they value peace and harmony greatly. However, with what you've mentioned, I can see that there is more of a disconnect with others. It's like "Don't get caught up relationally because you will experience disillusionment (i.e. pain, frustration, strife, etc.). Maintain discipline and practice your "darhmas" so as not to be distracted but to press on toward enlightenment. But still show kindness toward others because karma will knock you down the next life-go-'round."

Does that sound right? Does it make sense?

I had posted this because I understood where Nic was coming from when he talks about questions that arise from being a part of this fallen and broken world. Obviously, THE Church ought to be influencing culture and the world. Nate is correct in stating that the true Church is the vehicle that will advance the Kingdom. I don't think Nic's questions are positing an anti-Church posture. Rather, I think it's more of a, "Wake-up Church, there's stuff going on that we're gonna have to address -- what is the Truth about such things and how will we affect the world in a way that allows Christ's love to compel them to a place of faith in the One true God?"

For me, Nic's questions have gotten me thinking about the hypocrisy in my own life, as well as that of even the community of believers around me.

There are many things that we say we believe about God... but when it comes to really living out our faith, I find that we don't live out loud enough to challenge, inspire, compel, and offer hope for the faith that we say we hold to.

Billy -- You're absolutely right. I just think we need to find that right balance of letting the Truth speak for itself (as we teach them through word and deed), but also fight for their attention and rise above the iPods and Wiis and junk.

That's tough to do given some lack of financial resources and a need for more volunteer leadership power.

I hope that even one kid felt the presence of or heard His voice on Sunday night... I'd rejoice. But just the overall feeling was enough to think that some cloud of spiritual oppression was hanging over the room?

Thanks for the assurance of not missing much, Tracie. I kinda figured as much. I can't say that I was horribly upset that I missed this "in-the-grand-scheme-of-things-it's-relatively-insignificant" event.

This entire season was kind of a let down in terms of overall talent and star-power. But I still got caught up and wanted to "experience" the culmination of all the hype and banter... and I missed it. [sigh]

So, I'm hearing that others who had DVRd the finale also got gypped of the ending. Apparently the show went longer than the 2 hour slot...

Do you think the network(s) do this on purpose -- extend the show's ending time -- to mess with the viewers and sorta coerce us to watch shows live?

Bryon... AMAZING... I think you have a gift! You're prediction is so spot-on!

I've been noodling ways I can ride the full 17 miles for awhile now. In the days of my youth, I used get in anywhere from 40-60 miles in a week... but that was a LONG time ago. [sigh]

However, I just had a conversation with my buddy at work (my manager) and we're REALLY close to figuring out a possible plan that will save me a few extra miles of driving and give us 10-12 miles to ride!

I can tell you without a doubt that there is nothing that I am doing that is causing the problem.

I receive the "fixed" laptop... open the box... boot it up... test... FAIL. (repeat)

I can walk up to any HP laptop in any store and perform the same webcam "test" without any problems.

Re: http://transitionpete.org/?p=1072

transitionpete — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 11:02:08 -0000

It's principle of the matter that got my ire goin'. Sure, an external webcam could have solved the issue lickity-split, but I have a laptop with an integrated webcam and I want it to work properly -- I don't want to have to muck around with connecting and disconnecting and toting around an external webcam if I don't have to.

Plus, I have this sick bent that needed to see how far I could push the issue to get a result in my favor. And that is why I asked the question... and I ask again, is it wrong to enjoy vivid expression of [insert your emotion here] in order to manipulate another person so as to get my way?

My take is that it is probably not a very Christ-like approach to things. I'm flawed and recognize that I can take advantage of people if I were left unchecked.

I fully intend to apologize and ask for forgiveness when the case manager calls today.

@Tim Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Why do I blogpost my tweets?

Well... as it has gotten easier, lately, for me to Twitter rather than blog...
(1) There are people that follow my blog but just don't "get" or use Twitter, so those folks can still know what I'm up to and thinkin' these days. And (2) I like having a digest of my daily tweets archived on my blog.

Why do you ask?

Aw man! Don't it beat all? Just when I can't fathom another series to get addicted to because I can't afford the time to keep up with them all, you had to go and take it to a whole new playing field and "forece" me to keep up with YOUR "adventure" on MY time! Craziness!

I'm addicted!

Sheesh!

Re: Does your church have a “blog policy”?

transitionpete — Tue, 20 May 2008 00:02:02 -0000

There are but a few bloggers at my church, and no staff that blog (none with any consistency yet). I/we haven't even begun to consider a blog policy, but I think it would behoove us to, at the very least, have this discussion.

While most churches will NOT have an explicitly stated blog policy (yet), it seems that there are some unspoken guidelines that some of us are governed by with respect to what kinds of posts are made on our blogs -- don't call people out, no crude jokes or language, watch how you represent your organization, limit specifics, use good judgment and common sense, etc.

There is a fine line in identifying an "official" church blog/site and a "personal" blog/site that has a connection to the church. While we may make strides to help minimize and have some accountability towards what is on such blogs, we cannot expect to get everything right.

It makes sense to discuss and generate some guidelines, but I would hate to have a policy instituted that would stifle creativity and sincerity. Overall, I think there needs to be plenty of "breathing room" with such guidelines, yet maintain a standard of fairness, integrity, accountability, grace, and humility when it comes to content that may be questionable.

Still, we need to remember that we can't expect to please everyone.
