Catalyst Conference, Fuqua, Willimon, Publishing, Newbigin and Rosetta Stone: my 62 tweets from the last month

I have been using Twitter to write down micro-blog posts.  I post about two "tweets" per day on average.  I highlight articles worth reading and share quotes and ideas on my mind.  I have tried to keep my tweets focused around the theme of church leadership like this blog.  Each “tweet” is only 140 characters.  I try to provide something of value and not just tell you what I had for breakfast.  Anyway, I just thought I would post the last 62 here so you can see what has been on my mind the last month.

The tweets descend from most recent November 7th at the top to October 5th at the bottom.
