READ MOREWell I’m throwing my pastoral hat in that ring as well. Looking back over the last couple of months I too have been sucked into the great technorati vortex, and now I’m climbing out!

Here is a website that can generate your closest match. My wife and I ran the program and here are the results… First hers: Then mine: Frightening, isn’t it? […]
READ MOREYou all are in for a treat this weekend — beginning tonight, as our own, Lysa TerKeurst (Lysaterkeurst.com) speaks at all six weekend venues!
