and I'm the technology teacher at Shepherd of the Hills Christian School in Centennial, CO.

I have a heart and passion for technology and for educational ministry for our Lord Jesus Christ.

This blog is a natural result of these unique interests. I have 20 years of teaching experience in Lutheran schools, the last five exclusively as a technology teacher.

I seek to use the talents that God has given me to enhance His Kingdom in new, exciting, and creative ways, utilizing the technology tools with which we have been blessed to enhance ministry for Christ.

On of my favorite analogies of how Lutheran Schools work is... we all work in "little silos"... In our silos are our finances, our intellectual property, our experiences, our successes, our failures, etc... we see what we have, and we protect it and keep it to ourselves... we never envision the idea that someone could share something from their silo.

As I wrote on the Technology in Lutheran Schools site, it seems to me that one of Satan's goals is to get Christians into their own silos and away from each other. We are all more vulnerable when we are alone. Therefore, we all need to work at breaking down these silos and truly work together in ministry. This is truly work -- not an easy task at all -- but something that is made more possible now than ever before when using some of the technology tools with which we have been blessed.

I encourage each of you to check out Josh's original post on this topic, read some of the comments to the post, and engage in the process of eliminating some silo that you see. May God grant us the courage and grace to do this for Him!

GET OUT OF YOUR SILO!

  • A Whole New Mind, by Daniel Pink: Actually, I'm re-reading this book (I may have to purchase a copy for myself instead of always using a library copy!)  Pink identifies six senses that are becoming essential for success in 21st century society. An excellent read for all educators and church leaders, even though it is not written from a Christian perspective.
  • Crazy '08, by Cait Murphy: A great study of the famous 1908 baseball season -- the last one where the Cubs won the World Series. Very much enjoying the description of the most memorable game in Cubs history -- the 4-2 victory at the New York Giants in the final National League game of that season.
