I’m pleased to announce that the FSU Navigators have a brand new website thanks to yours truly. It was a lot of work but I have to admit I had a lot of fun designing it. It uses WordPress and K2 just like my personal site. The best part of all is that all the hosting is free! The Navigators Internet Ministries hooked us up with some free server space from Gospelcom.net. Big props to Randy Susman, Director of the Navigators Internet Ministries, for working with me for the past two months trying to get this thing up and running. We’re using the same address: fsunavigators.org. Go check it out and let me know what you think.

Every month the FSU Navigators ministry plans one big event. Our ministry isn’t driven by events but we do consider them to be important for our students to have a sense of community. This month we were planning to bring in Jim Downing, one of the original six Navigators. Unfortunately he had a death in the family just before he planned to come to town and had to cancel. So the staff decided to make the most of the opportunity and indulge a request of the Student Leadership Team (SLT). Many of its members have been asking for more responsibility, particularly in the area of planning and steering what the ministry does. We decided this would be a great chance to let them spread their wings.
I have a story to tell you. I promise it’s all true. This is one of those rare moments in my life when I wish I was on a reality TV show. It would have been awesome to have captured all this for future viewing.
I have noticed that some authors are now including a list of the music they listened to while writing their book (Donald Miller comes to mind). I thought that might be a pretty cool thing for me to start doing. Below is my soundtrack for 2007. Each of these twelve songs has impacted me this past year. I’ve even set up an easy way for you to buy this soundtrack!
It’s been nearly a month since the fall semester ended and I’m still having a hard time believing just how fast those four months went by. Here we are in January, the day before the start of the spring 2008 semester, and I know it’ll be the end of April before I know it. But before I get too far ahead of myself I want to take time to reflect back on the previous semester. It was my first ever as a campus minister. Here’s a little bit of what I learned and some things I hope will be different this time around.
I know most of my readers view my posts through Facebook, so this announcement probably doesn’t impact that many people. Nevertheless, it would be remiss of me not to mention that I have been updating my website recently. If you’re keeping score at home, I’m calling this new iteration version 4.1 beta.
