• Lao Tse
  Thirty spokes meet in the hub, but the empty space between them is the essence of the wheel. Pots are formed from clay, but the empty space within it is the essence of the pot. Walls with windows and doors form the house, but the empty space within it is the essence of the home.
• David Hockney
  It’s all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
• Michalangelo
  One paints with one’s head, not one’s hand.
• Anne Lamott
  I don’t want something special. I want something beautifully plain.

  I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.

  Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.

-As many of you know, we moved to Colorado Springs, CO in January of this year for my new job as Digital Strategist with Integrity Music-a division of David C. Cook.

-Our oldest son Stewart will attend Colorado Christian University in the fall. We just spent the weekend on the campus for Scholarship Recognition Weekend. I’m very impressed with the school overall.

-Sharon and I have started a brand new company here in Colorado called Threethirtypm. Some of you might be familiar with the name as it has been my cartoon blog project for 2 years. We previously owned Beaconhill NW Consulting in Washington state. One of the reasons we did this is that the taxes are atrocious to own your company in another state! I also wanted a fresh, clean start. We felt that Threethirtypm truly represented what we wanted to do in the future. We wanted to be a creative, social media, and digital marketing agency. It’s a story that fits better with the journey we have been on in the past 3 years. Beaconhill NW came about because we lived on “Beacon Hill” and we lived in the NW. Neither of those items would make sense here in Colorado.

-I have universities, churches, non-profits and the like asking me about workshops and coaching. I’ve recently added two new pages here for “Workshops” and “Coaching”. If you are interested, please use the  form on the “Contact” page.  I would love to talk with you about these new offerings.

-My friends Bruce and Heather Moore have a new book coming out next month: “Rewritten:Exchanging Your Story For God’s Story” . I’ve been working with the Moore’s for two years and happy to call them friends!  Pre-Order it on Amazon !

-I will be in Dallas, TX May 8th for the Young Lead Pastor’s Gathering  and May 9th-11th for Catalyst Dallas
