Twenty for Twenty-Eleven

I met Gary Molander briefly at Echo Conference in Dallas last July. Looking back, I wish I'd taken some more time to get to know him better. If you haven't heard of him, check him out. You'll be glad you did.

Gary's blog has been an inspiration to me on a lot of levels, but he has really knocked it out of the park this week. It's as if he is writing specifically to me especially when he posted about the 20 things he wants people to write about.

Those of you that read my blog (all 3 of you) know that I run "hot" and "cold" in my blogging activities. I hope to change that and I'll use Gary's list as my motivation. For the next twenty weeks, Mondays will be known as GaryMo Mondays and I'll drop a post on one of the topics on Gary's list (in no particular order). Ironically, some of the topics I already have posts started on and others are things that have been rolling around in my head for some time that I've just never sat down to organize my thoughts on.

I'm excited about this. Some of the topics are things I've been dying to talk about and some of them scare me to death. It's time that I use this blog the way I intended from the beginning:

To ask the hard questions. My questions. To acknowledge that I have them. To let it be okay. To engage in the conversations. The difficult conversations. To speak the truth. To have the truth spoken to me.

To move CLOSER to God.
