Today is the early bird deadline for the National Youth Workers Convention in San Diego. It’s been a couple years since I’ve been able to be one, but whenever I used to go – they were amazing events that were fun, forming and a great time to be ministered to by tons of other people who are passionate about youth work. If you’re able to go – you should definitely take advantage of this Early Bird Deadline – to register – just go here. Don’t be a naysayer…

They say you should only blog about what you’re passionate about, or what’s consuming your mind. Well, if my daily blogging on DazedDad.com is any indication, apparently I am thinking quite a lot about being a dad, and not as much about design, ministry and theology.

Now, obviously since I’m a full-time youth minister, theologian and part-time web designer, we know I’m still thinking about these things, but the immediacy of looking forward to parenthood seems to be surpassing these other things right now.

Obviously Pomomusings isn’t going anywhere, and maybe my blogging on DazedDad.com will inspire me to pick up the blogging here on Pomomusings. I know I have asked this numerous times before, but if there are any topics that you think would be interested in reading about, let me know. Although, in the end, I’m only going to blog about what I’m passionate about, so…suggest away, but keep in mind I may ignore the suggestions. Try to suggest things that I’m passionate about, okay?

TWINS. And no, I am not joking.
