		<title>Building a Community, Not a Theater</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I usually like to keep up with marketing best practices by reading articles from digital media experts.  Surprisingly, many times the same issues affecting marketers hoping to reach an active audience, are also influencing the church.  This article: http://www.clickz.com/3634608  is particularly interesting as it guides marketers in building active communities that will promote  a brand, rather than merely developing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=232&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Come as you are&#8221;: A lyric from Nirvana? A line from Jesus? A logo from Barney?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of today, it’s a slogan from Microsoft’s new global career website.
The opening tagline reads, “Come as you are. Do what you love.”  It continues,
&#8220;Imagine
You have unique experiences, skills and passions—and we believe you can bring them all to Microsoft for a rich, rewarding career and lifestyle that will surprise you with its breadth and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=224&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Congratulations! You have 300 friends!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I reached a momentous occasion on my Facebook status today: 300 friends! I&#8217;m kind of a big deal. Once again it had me thinking about human interaction, dialogue, and community as in a previous post: http://thepetersohns.wordpress.com/tag/facebook/.  More than ever in my life I really appreciate and desire authentic relationships. Now excuse me as I go [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=219&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Tell me a Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You’ve no doubt heard of the singing sensation on “Britain’s Got Talent” over the past several weeks.  A dowdy, 48 year old Susan Boyle shocked the judges and the audience with her extraordinary voice while singing “I Dream of Dream” from Les Miserables.  

The video on YouTube has been viewed over 41 million times.  For me [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=181&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Doodle me this</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A doodle caused quite a controversy four years ago at a renowned world economic forum.  According to NPR, after a panel including Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Bono and Tony Blair concluded their session, a journalist wandered onto the stage and discovered left-behind papers near Blair’s seat covered in doodles: boxes, circles, triangles and arrows.
The journalist [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=158&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Genealogy of Gadzooks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is well-documented and affirmed by several eye-witnesses that my husband commonly uses the phrase ‘Gadzooks!’ Lately he’s also mixed in the occasional “Golly Gee”.  He doesn’t like being reminded of my amusement at his word choices.  However, even less enjoyable to Dave is when I remark how similar he is to his father (only [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=148&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How I learned to Stop Worrying and love &#8220;The Shack&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fanboys around the world rejoiced today, as another comic book/graphic novel turned movie is released: The Watchmen. I’m the segment of the population that can’t wait to see this movie. That being said, I’m expecting to be disappointed by the big screen premiere, and today’s  movie review on NPR accurately reflected my impending frustration [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=142&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Agent 999 (or: I&#8217;ll take Unusual careers for $1000, Alex)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often think or blog about jobs I would rather be doing.  I also really enjoy reading the the employment classifieds in the newspaper and searching online job boards.  Let it be noted: I enjoy my current occupation.  It&#8217;s a hobby to look for other jobs, rather than an actual motivation to find a different salaried livelihood.  Discovering interesting job roles is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=110&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>All Hail the Grocery Clerk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I might have to pick up a part-time job at Aldi&#8217;s just so I can do this.  Why didn&#8217;t I think with similar ingenuity during our church&#8217;s  canned food drive? Mario escaping the clutches of the pirahna plant would have been the perfect backdrop during the morning&#8217;s message of hope. Maybe local food pantries would appreciate if I volunteer my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=106&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>We Built this City&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A musical mixologist is someone that blends samples of different music to create entirely new songs.  Recently on NPR they featured a mixologist who traveled to various international cities and recorded hundreds of sound clips within those towns.  He then mashed the sound bites to create a song of each city he visited.  New York&#8217;s &#8220;song&#8221; sounded entirely different from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thepetersohns.wordpress.com&blog=3188040&post=100&subd=thepetersohns&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
