About Me intro
(the tree fort I built when my kids were young,
freshly remodeled)
Who am I that you should listen to me?
I like to show others what I am working on.
Pastors should feel that way about their churches.
I will give you honest feedback about church websites from my perspective,
Two main questions I pose:
I was in my late-30s when the internet was publicly introduced,
I will give you honest feedback about church websites from my perspective,
and tell you what I can, about a church, via what I see from its website.
The root reason for this website is:
It's obvious that many church leaders hate websites and email,
because I can plainly see that these tools are shunned by many.
Two main questions I pose:
1) What is Jesus' plan for today's Church concerning church websites and email?
2) Does this plan apply to every church, no matter its size, location or audience?
(as long as their neighbors have internet available)

I was in my late-30s when the internet was publicly introduced,
and was not one of its first subscribers, nor was I even vaguely interested in it.
Yet today, I manage a few websites of my own making.
(They are listed at 'My Websites' on this site.)
