Thanks to Ron from Medium - all the old entries from my blogger days are now posted within the context of this site. A seamless continuity of writing spreading back over almost 5 years (ha - with fairly regulary months-long breaks interspersed). There are some pictures missing that I will have to dig back out and post over the next few days but otherwize - its all here....
The Chattablogs front page presence has given this blog more presense than the old blogger account ever had, so it is with some reservation that I let you know all that writing is out there. The posts started as "kid spotting" entries that went along with a larger site. Journal entries on that site quickly became very personal and were pulled from public view, even though there are many more of them. Then in 2003 I started thinking more about postmodernity and emergent church and posted thoughts on those themes. Then last year I started trying to write every day. That lasted through the summer and fall, until Marialice and I started Sonship - and the writing got very personal and private again.
And now - we're writing on a more regular basis again. So enjoy.
Welcome to ChattaBlogs! And actually it was the ever-cool, superhuman Ben Huffine who hooked you up by working out the kinks in the export file.
Just tell your family, friends, co-workers, etc.!
Ron just rocks. And so does Ben. And really, so does everybody at Coptix, except maybe Josiah, who does something beyond rock that we haven't come up with a name for yet. Rob, you really need to say goodbye to the cube farm and come farm some hippy programmers. It's fun, kind of like herding cats. Drop me a line (for real) - I don't think I have your address.
Ron, Josiah, Jeff, Ben, all you guys rock! To your point Roe, I've actually been agitating at New City that thier whole communication / newsletter / webpage strategy be refocussed around blogs. Who knows if it will pan out in the hide bound traditions of the church - but I have malevolent plans!
Rob I like it! genius!
Rob,
We need to talk about the whole New City website strategy. I've got some definite ideas along those lines. I'll try and catch you at church some Sunday.
