			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have tried every type of social media outlet there is. I used Myspace for the longest time until it got over taken by ads and people were able to post nasty pictures or anything else they wanted and it became an unenjoyable experience. Then Facebook came around and everybody in the world now seems to be on Facebook. While it&#8217;s not as trashy as Myspace or should I say My___ , it  does have an element of finding yourself enthralled with peoples pictures, statuses and lives. So for me as a way to guard my eyes and my marriage I got off Facebook about 4 months ago and it has been AWESOME! I do not miss it one bit.  I love when people say did you see what so and so said on Facebook and I can say, &#8220;Nope.&#8221; Or they&#8217;ll say did you see the picture or video that so and so posted, again &#8220;Nope.&#8221; So and so was one of my top friends on Facebook if you are wondering. Now I  do have a Twitter account and I LOVE TWITTER. You only see the tweets from those people you follow, there&#8217;s no debates on there over something you said that got people you don&#8217;t actually have an authentic relationship with all bent out of shape. So I do enjoy my twitter.</p>
<p>So why blog? The reason I know I need to blog is as a Worship Leader, songwriter, visionary, creative director, and just a guy who love all aspects of creativity especially concepting, writing, directing, producing and even acting in videos, blogging gives me an outlet to share some of that creativity in an arena I need to do more of, which is write. Write out my thoughts, dreams, ideas, things God is doing in my family, in our church and in my life. So I now commit to try and blog at least once a week but hopeful 2-3 times a week. If you follow my blog which maybe 5 of you do right now, I hope this becomes a place you can come be encouraged, challenged but most of all you feel a spark in your creative juices by what God is doing.</p>
<p>So for what feels like the 100th time, I am giving this blogging thing a go&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;here goes nothing!</p>
