What to blog on?

OK, I'm going to try my hand at blogging a bit. Been meaning to do this for awhile. The assumption is that I have thoughts worth sharing and time/energy to put into it!

By way of getting started, I created a little poll that you can find on the sidebar of my blog. If you want to egg me on, please vote there. If you want to hear about something else, please write a comment to this posting.

May this be a blessed and interesting New Year!

P.S., some of the options to vote on may need a little explanation.
  • The book The Next 100 Years takes a stab at predicting how geopolitical forces will drive events through the 21st century. For example, historically, Great Britain had to become a naval power because of their position as an island. Looking forward, we can predict that China will fragment internally and decline over the next decade; Turkey, Poland, and Japan will rise to be major economic powers; Russia will make another stab at greatness (because they must) and fail; forces will cause a serious war by 2050; and Mexico will vie with the US for being the controlling force of North America by 2080.
  • The book Just Walk Across the Room speaks to practical personal outreach. More relational and less program-driven.
  • The movie Second Chance is about a mega church in the suburbs and its sister inner city church. No, that's just the backdrop. It's really about an associate pastor at the mega church reconnecting with what real ministry means.

I'm really curious how about the next 100 yrs. That's if we make it past 2012. lol. The U.S. better get it together and stop outsourcing so much or we will find ourselves labeled as a third world country.
