Bear with me here... I've recently returned from the National Pastors' Convention in San Diego, a convention I try to get to every year- First with the National Youth Workers Convention in the 90's and then the NPC in this last decade. It's always been a great, relaxing experience of stepping out of my context, gaining perspective and refreshing my mind, body and soul. The last couple of years, and...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Pastorhacksdotnet/~4/TeuOadSTfAc" height="1" width="1"/>

Before you answer a hearty "No way" or "Dream on," remember- you used to do it ALL THE TIME. You probably started ministry without email, and though it has helped in many ways- at what cost? Here's one woman who gave it up for month and discovered some interesting things about herself and others: "My e-mail was making me sick. No, I'm not paranoid that it was emitting cancer-causing electricity....<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Pastorhacksdotnet/~4/JSd_JX4wrHQ" height="1" width="1"/>

I just returned from vacation and then several days of travel. The vacation was needed and is what prompted this post. Donna and I went on a cruise and had an excellent time hanging with some old friends and decompressing a bit. It was a welcome respite from the cold weather back home. In Nashville it was frozen, but in the Caribbean it was very warm. I love getting away...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Pastorhacksdotnet/~4/whZ1BMqAHp0" height="1" width="1"/>

It's true- the more connected you are, the more distracted you are. And the less you can get done. There's zero doubt- Facebook, Twitter, cell phones and Wi-fi- they all serve us in various ways (even if just connecting to lost friends or allowing us to work out of the office). The problem is that the more we connect to social media, the more obligated we feel to feed them,...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Pastorhacksdotnet/~4/NLmEdG70YT8" height="1" width="1"/>

I've been thinking through the issue of why I haven't been blogging as much... that's probably a nice way to put it, yeah? Truthfully, these last three months have found my blog laying by the side of the road like a wounded lemur. Will no one stop to help? Anyway... I've been (somewhat) enjoying the break, feeling a strange freedom from expression. It's not that I haven't had thoughts these...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Pastorhacksdotnet/~4/WeLCzL8UYPA" height="1" width="1"/>
