I decided that one of the things I needed to work on doing better this year, is saying “No.”
So far, I’ve had overall improvement in this area, but I still need help!
When I saw this list by Claire Diaz-Ortizof of 50 ways to say it, I had to share it with all of you who may be struggling with the same thing. I mean, seriously, just saying no is really hard, right?

Starbucks is one of the primary fuels used for energizing Church tech, so it seemed more than appropriate to cover some basic bits of trivia about Starbucks coffee.

As a leader–whether you’re a Pastor of a church or head of the A/V team–it’s important to be mindful of how well you’re leading.
Phil Cook recently posted six different things that can hide or mask bad leadership.

I would be tempted to get an Android smartphone just to do this!
