7 Data-Backed Tips for Sending Better Emails [Infographic]


by

Email is my second favorite way of communicating, just under face-to-face. It is my digital version of my mental memory, as I can go back and search for old conversations, and unlike Slack or G+ hangouts, it is actually organized.

Verses: An iOS Bible Memory Verses App [App Review]


by

Verses is an iOS app with a noble mission:

To help us memorize Scripture.

I’ll be honest that I’m not nearly as focussed on memorizing Scripture as I was when I was a kid. Part of that is a natural pendulum swing from being pushed to memorize, but not necessarily understand Scripture, but that’s a post for another time.

But this takes it to a whole new level of looking at how our favorite superheroes would text each other. Honestly, I think more and more of this is needed in the future. For now, enjoy these and I’ll see what I can do with sharing more as they come out.

Tech-Free Dinner Time with a Twist


by

We had to make a new rule at our house:

No devices at the dinner table.

We’ve always guarded our family time around meals. We’ve always strived to avoid dinner around the TV. Sure, there are exceptions, like pizza and a movie. You know, fun stuff like that.

So when we began to feel screens creeping into our normal meal times, we had to put an end to it. Everyone is following along and there are consequences to any violators. I think the key to our success, is that we acted on it before it became “normal.”
