My buddy Mark D. Roberts linked to me today. What a guy! He’s just finished a series on praying in public venues. You can read the story of my brother-in-law’s chaplaincy in high school over at Mark’s post for today.
And Mark’s link got me thinking about taking our faith public.

Blogs are toddlers now. Have you noticed?Some of us have been weaned. Others are starting to give up our pacifiers. A few are potty trained and using complex sentences and obeying the rules of the house.Of course, we all still pull the dog’s tail on occasion. And we still find ourselves sitting in the time out chair a lot.
But soon, very soon, Mommy and Daddy Media are going to have to acknowledge our existence.
Or like Oedipus we’re going to tear them pieces one day in a rage when they refuse to let us share the road. Or like Orestes, we’re going to pull out a sword and chop mom up.

In a racy little commentary over at MediaPost, George Simpson has a few words to say about the brewing war between social media and mass media.
I'm Senior Editor for The High Calling, High Calling Blogs, and Faith In The Workplace.
