Michael Card Interview Chosen as Best of 2009

by Marcus on December 15, 2009

The other Foundation staff chose my interview with Michael Card as one of the best pieces from TheHighCalling.org last year! Here’s a link in case you missed it:

The High Calling

Chosen as “The Best of 2009” by TheHighCalling.org.

On a side note, I feel the need to share why I’ve been pretty quiet here at Good Word Editing lately. In the blogosphere, I’ve moved to a lot of behind the scenes stuff lately. I talk with high calling bloggers on the phone, in webinars, via email, via a new basecamp tool for the editorial staff.

Also, I’ve been working hard on a full business plan for this nonprofit blog network. We’ve written out weekly deliverables for various tasks, hourly estimates, hourly pay rates (most of it is volunteer, though), special perks we can offer, etc. Fleshing things out has been a great challenge. Selling the idea internally during our budget season has been an even greater challenge. (That process is still going on, but I’m hopeful we’ll receive permission to move forward a few small steps.)

And, I’ve continued to work on TheHighCalling.org and some other internal writing projects. Out of that comes some cool things like our “Best of” campaign.

I still have plans to participate in the 12 Blogs of Christmas project going on at HighCallingBlogs.com, but my 12 Days may be the actual 12 days, rather than the 12 days prior to Christmas. Or I may drop this ball entirely. Only time will tell.

At any rate, if you missed the interview with Michael Card, now’s your chance to click over and check it out. You may also be interested in the other content chosen as Best of 2009.

As I said earlier, Marcus, it's a good one. Thanks for highlighting it again here.

Press on in your work for the Kingdom!

Michael Card is an “old friend” — having first listened to his music in high school and later reading his deep writings and insights.

i loved your interview…but Card is so eloquent, it must have been more fun than work.

David, I get to do a lot of fun stuff, for sure. One thing to keep in mind,
deadlines have a strange knack for turning fun into work. : )

Just wanted to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
Looking forward to whatever the New Year brings, as long as it includes a poem or two .

Have I said 'thank you' for all you, L.L., and Marcus have been doing to make things happen around here? Well…thank you, then. The New Year holds much promise…

I agree! It holds so many promises–many of them made by me–that I get a
little nervous if I think about it too much. Damn the torpedos! Full speed
ahead!
