In 2006 Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road was a deserving Pulitzer Prize winner. I read it in five days. The film was supposed to release last year but didn’t. Books with the movie covers were printed but still no movie.
If you’ve been wondering if the movie is going to release….it is! In theaters this October with Viggo Mortenson, Charlize Theron and some great shots of post-apocalyptic America.
I’m in a coaching training with Corporate Coach U right now. About a year ago I went through Coachnet/Coaching 101 with Bob Logan and Scott Thomas. Coaching is definitely in vogue with forward thinking, missional initiatives/networks/denominations, and with good reason.

I’m doing some blogging on the Q Conference. There have been some powerful moments during this conference, the least of which was not Ted and Haggard’s transparent, gospel-gripping testimony about their post-excommunication journey. Unfortunately, we’ve been asked not to blog on it, so suffice it to say that what he said was profoundly biblical and gospel-centered. I was brought to tears and to praise.
