Marketing and advertising for a church is tough. Tougher than I thought it would be. Mainly because I don't want to waste money on things that have any small return. Average for a direct mail piece is 2.5%. Ouch. Those things costs a lot of money and the return is not great. Forget advertising in newspaper, radio or TV. We don't have anywhere near the budget. Besides none of those things are guaranteed. People ignore advertising like gnats. They bat it, knock it away, but we keep coming back… Continue

Personally, I don't care who you vote for in this election. I'm still on the fence somewhat but I'll tell you this, the Obama campaign should be very careful about how they promote and tear down their competitor. I heard a radio commercial the other day that basically says if McCain gets in office, he will outlaw abortion. Well, if he can, so be it. I hate that we have abortion in this country and killing children so we can protect our own lives (calling it a choice) is crazy to me especially… Continue

We are working on some new processes at work and I'm really involved in a quite a few of them on the creative side. It's been a long time coming and I'm really excited about how they are laying things out so I don't have to wonder where I fit into the machine.

I used to think church was a burden and that you… Continue

My blogs aren't usually praises but I do have to say that things are finally turning around at work so I can breathe little. I owe it all to pray, to my wife's encouragement and to my North Park family for keeping me in their prayers. He is so good. Today I just wanted to let the rest of you know that if you bring it to Him things will change. He can do anything He likes but if you never ask Him, then why should He step in and help.

So I came into today and I've got a new boss. Can you believe it? I just got a new one and now there's this new guy. He came right up to me when I got into work and said, "Don." Can you believe it? He already knew my name. "Don," He said, "I want you to know that you're working for me now." I was a little taken aback. I don't work for bosses. I work for the company. I work for myself and my family. I'm not working for you. He put his hand on my shoulder. I'm not big into people touching me.… Continue
