		<description>wow, great thoughts, all around.
 
my 2 cents is that, while we should stick to the policy of less for more, you kind of don&#039;t know what you should do or not do until you have tried it. It&#039;s a problem especially with web tech, because new stuff is popping up all the time.
 

 
As for Adam_S&#039;s comment on being ordinary. I find myself challenged on this a lot, especially in my relationship with my Wife; Kathy, she does not like the fact that I spend a lot of time doing video and blogging (why I ask you with tears in my eyes, do I pick the things that need the most time?). It really has to be about balance, remembering all the time that your relationship with God is more important that your work for God. That is a challenge and a half. </description>

		<description>My main comment is only tangentially related.  It is about the &quot;if I can&#039;t be the best I won&#039;t do it&quot; attitude.  First, there are pretty few people that can be the best or even among the best at anything, no matter how small you slice the achievement.  And that attitude actually will prevent you from ever being the best because you won&#039;t try and fail on your way to being the best.  I know Godin doesn&#039;t really believe this because he has talked about space to fail before, but he still says it in thing like twitter that he doesn&#039;t want to do. 
 
Second part of the same issue.  I think we need to create a space for ordinary, especially as Christians.  To be extraordinary at anything takes an enormous commitment and a lot of time.  Too often we are striving after things that don&#039;t really matter, or are actually contrary to what God wants for us.  If I am the best (insert your thing here) how does that effect my relationships with my family?  Do they loose me to my thing?  How does it effect my relationship with God, the local church, my children&#039;s friends, etc?  In order to live life we need time.  I want to make a call to Christians to be more ordinary, less stress, more involved in community and family.  That may mean we are less cutting edge, less excellent in our worship, have more mediocre websites and blogs, but it should also mean we are better people. 
 
I am not fully developed on this, but I  have been bouncing around with it for a while.   </description>
