I’m a follower of Jesus Christ. I live in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with an amazing wife and three wacky, fun kids. I'm a pastor at Covenant Life Church. I’m also a writer.
My friend Donald Miller shares a helpful tip for writers: get a kitchen timer. Don explains, "When I have two or three writing assignments I just make a list, then pick one, then set my little timer for an hour or twenty minutes or whatever amount of time that specific assignment will cost me. And then, while the timer is ticking away on my desk, I don't let myself do anything else....When the timer goes off, I decide whether I want to keep working on it, or move on. It's a simple tool, but it works." Read more.

Tim Challies asks whether he's ready to address his Google search history with God. "What would I say to him if he were to ask me about the things I have gone looking for online? Could I tell him with confidence that what I have sought is an indication of a heart that is aligned with his purposes? Or would I have to confess that my searches point to a heart that is drawn to what is evil and perverse?" Read the post.
I thought this TIME magazine article was interesting. Do you agree that McDonalds is on the upswing? Did you know they have a chef? Is reading this making you crave french fries?

I must confess that I only go on for self-ish reasons as if all my friends are only keeping up with ME! O wretched man that I am! I am trying to decide if FB has enhanced my life or not, at this point, not.

Facebook is growing much faster than people are leaving! I've never understood people who let FB control their lives. But I suppose people with similar issues must band together...
Must have been a slow week at the New York Times! Seriously though, Facebook can be either a useful communications tool or a huge waste of time...I have friends who have left it after feeling convicted about the amount of time they were wasting (interestingly, some of them have rejoined recently after 6-12 months break from it)...
I use it mainly as a networking tool for business and ministry related work and an easy way to keep in contact with friends who I would otherwise not.
I doubt FB is going to be another MySpace - but I guess time will tell...
