Thoughts on Data, Culture, and Organizational Development
Hey folks. We’re starting a new type of post here on Conversatio Morum. It’s Awesome App Reviews. We’re going to post reviews of helpful apps that can help you with efficiency, productivity, and mission. Today we’re going to review our first app, for a simple task that you probably never thought you’d need more options for….until now. Greenshot, is the most amazing screen shotting tool that I’ve ever seen. Continue reading “Awesome App Review – Greenshot”

Well, it’s been a week since I’ve posted. Interesting days. Cold front has come through. It’s nice to have actual fall weather for once. New things that I’ve been learning. Conviction that God is bringing. I hate that I’m not good. I love the grace that Jesus gives me. Been learning of solitude. It’s good. I’m convicted. Change that I need.

Here at Conversatio Morum I want to give you valuable and thought-provoking content.
Why? Because I love you.
So a while back I posted about efficiency being part of our mission and then a tutorial about how to create a productive interrupt on your computer. You can read those here and here. The tutorial was created with Windows 7 and when I switched to Windows 8 I discovered that there are some differences to how to set this up. So I want to show you those differences to make this information still be useful to you. Continue reading “Productive Interrupt Tutorial – Revised”

Ok, so here goes. I don’t know. I’ve been sick the last few days. Now I’m better. My voice is back. Silence is good. I have a friend who just started speaking again. He took a vow of silence for a week. I’m very proud of him for sticking with it. Time seems endless now. Things seem…mundane. Yeah, that’s a good word…mundane. Mundane is OK.

It’s time for a guest post!! Here’s one from Jonathan Jones. Jonathan is a Doctoral student, Worship Leader, and student of the grace of God. When he’s not being a musical genius, you can probably find him working, teaching on grace, or being that guy playing guitar on campus. Point being, he’s cool AND smart. That’s a 1-2 punch combo folks. You can check out the blog he writes at http://jonathanmichaeljonesblog.blogspot.com/ or follow him on Twitter @j_mjones
I was recently in the context of a corporate worship service where the people prayed for healing of a man with cancer. It is clear from scripture that we should do this. Nevertheless, although God is perfectly capable of healing someone of sickness, we are not owed that. Continue reading “We Are Not Owed”
Happy Independence Day!! Random fact: did you know that the Declaration of Independence was actually signed on July 2nd, not 4th? Today I’m taking a break from the old Xanga posts. I’d like to take this moment to remember the brave men and women who have participated in the founding of a nation. Men and women who took a stand and risked, for something they believed in greatly. Continue reading “Independence Day”
A little over a year ago I was able to attend the Catalyst Conference in Dallas. If you’d like to read my notes from Catalyst Dallas, you can find the list of posts here. There’s so really great content. The theme of Catalyst Dallas, as well as Catalyst for that year, was Be Present. It’s been a little over a year and I feel like it’s time to evaluate how I’m doing at just that. Continue reading “Catalyst Dallas: Be Present One Year Later”

I had forgotten about this song until I was looking through some cd’s the other day. The lyrics made me laugh and maybe they’ll do that for you also. It is a funny way of putting it, but it rings true to the way that Jesus changes people. Continue reading “Changing and Grace”
Once after playing paintball all day and getting dehydrated, I had thought that I was really hungry. Once my friend and I got to the restaurant we were going too, we ended up drinking two full pitchers of water each while waiting for our food. Turns out we were both simply really thirsty. I think we took our food home in to go boxes to enjoy later. We thought we needed food, when we really needed water. We had misplaced our hunger.

We are called to community. That is the point. As followers of Christ. Not religious people. If we do not love the body of Christ I must wonder if we, therefore, do not love Christ Himself. With this in mind what are we called to by community. We’ll, look at Acts 2:42. Continue reading “Radical Prayers”
