Guest blog for Step Ahead

I'm guest blogging again:

My first real foray into the land of Web 2.0 was a blog I started in fall 2005. It was mainly a way to record and share the moments in my life with friends and family. Since then, I’ve jumped on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. I feel immersed in the world of social media and its capabilities as a personal and business tool.

Sending up prayers

This week I've been saying lots of extra prayers for Terry Harper, who has been a terrific executive director of the Society of Professional Journalists. Terry joined the Society as ED just after I joined the national board. I worked with him for six years while I served as a regional director. Terry has been battling a brain tumor and the latest news is not good. You can read more about Terry's journey on his blog. I believe in a God who can work miracles, so I continue to pray for one, as well as for peace and comfort for Terry, his wife and their two sons.
