Blog, Blog, Blog… if you have ever been to one of my training events you know that this is a mantra that I often repeat. Google tells us that blogging is the best thing that you can do for your website. Through the years, I have had clients who do nothing for SEO other than consistently writing new blogs.  Their web traffic has grown dramatically because of the new content they are writing for their website. There are, however, some pretty big “Yeah, Buts” that keep this from becoming a reality for a lot of collaborative professionals. Here are some tips on writing blogs that will help to grow traffic into your website. What makes it a blog? A blog is an article on your…

I returned home this week from the 2019 Special Session of the General Conference of the United Methodist Church.  I was a delegate to this historic conference that was addressing the church’s position on human sexuality.  I was asked by the North Texas Conference to write some thoughts on what happened in St. Louis.  For those who don’t what we hoped for didn’t pass and some draconian legislation did pass.  Legislation that will be found to be unconstitutional according the church law in April.  I say that will happen because the Church Judicial Council has already ruled that it is unconstitutional, and nothing was changed in the legislation that was approved.   However, it was a deeply painful moment as we saw the United Methodist…
