MailChimp and Ministry
Last Friday, we posted about blogging for beginners, and we got quite a bit of positive feedback. In that post, we listed several resources that bloggers should at least consider. One of those resources was MailChimp. Today, we want to talk about this resource, but for more than just blogging. I really think there are several ministry-related uses for this resource. First, though, what is MailChimp? To state it simply, MailChimp is an email client. It helps you create custom emails that are very pleasing on the eye. Further, MailChimp lets you build lists, so you don’t have to manage who gets the emails and who doesn’t. People opt in…

Before You Blog: A Post for Tech Newbies
It is hard to believe how long I have been blogging. We are around 7 years now, and some of you have been with us since the start. Though our blog is still small in the blogging world, we have seen some growth (especially in the last few months), and we are thankful. Whether we grow very much or not, though, we are planning on being around for awhile, because we love doing this. One reason I love the internet is because Christians can “flood the market.” It is so inexpensive to get good, helpful, Biblical content out there for people to see. From blogging to podcasting; from YouTube to…

Thank You for 2012
What a year it has been. As I write this, it’s early in the morning on New Year’s Eve, 2012. I have been looking back at our year, and it has been one that we will not soon forget. Recently, I posted about turning 35 and about how it was a truly emotional year. So I want this final post of the year to be something a little different. I want it to be a “thank you”….to you. 2012 has easily been the most successful year of our blog, and that would not be true without the time you take to read what we post. So, enjoy our little “blog…

A Long Way from Cliff and Clair
If you know us at all, you know we are huge fans of The Cosby Show. We love watching reruns on DVD and we can basically quote every line from every program. We love that show because it was legitimately funny while still holding on to good family values. The parents were in charge of the home. Discipline was administered, but so were plenty of hugs. Money was plentiful in that house, but it was clearly communicated that it came from hard work. The family taught their children history. Education was strongly stressed (both in “formal” education and in the home). And there was a regular mention of religion in…
