nashville allies : nashville area youth worker network
brian senecal & i have been developing this dream/idea to put efforts in building up a nashville area network of youth ministers in collectively building the kingdom. it'd be a three time a year kind of gathering for volunteer, newbie, oldie, paid, intern, etc. youth workers. we are calling it 'nashville allies' and we hope to start in the fall. if you are a nashville area youth worker and want to jump in on this & help us out. start by signing in with our network hub we are using & follow us at nashallies on twitter (if you are already on twitter)
twouble with twitter : hilarious look at twitter
i get asked about twitter & why enough times that i am fine with saying, if your skeptical don't do it. i like len sweet's framing of twitter as passing on the town green. i've established some relationships, made a bunch of jokes, shared a ton of information, & wasted some time that was probably better off done somewhere else. adam cleaveland shared this hilarious video about twitter, on twitter, by the folks at current tv. as with most good satire, you need to know a bit of twitter to get the full fun, but even without that knowledge you'll be able to laugh at it. for a more serious look at twitter you can check out the 'twitter in plain english'
update: the folks at neatorama are having a bit of a slam on twitter after sharing this video
introducing pellet : who happens to be doing bi-cept curls
i have posted this one facebook & twitter, but for my solo blog readers i am happy to introduce you to "pellet" who will be joining our family in september.. well, i suppose pellet has already joined the family as they've made quite the impact on wifey.
we have named you pellet cause we were tired of trying to say he/she before any reference of you. even though you are now the size of a chicken tender that's been half eaten we're still stuck on the name pellet.
view some of the first pictures of pellet from thursdays ultrasound.
