I Wanna Blog Like Perry Noble!

I want to blog like Perry Noble - I cannot lie - the content and the volume that this visionary, pastor, leader produces just blows my mind!! So - tonight as I flip between late night shows, Facebook, Twitter, TweetDeck, email and random searches on Google - I ask - how can I blog like Perry Noble?

For one - I would have to become a consistent blogger - I love that he blogs 5 days every week ! So - hmmm... he must put in on his schedule. Ok - I think can do that!

Next - he speaks his mind, he mind dumps - lots of reflections - I've already begun that but I'm still learning. So - what would you like to hear about? What can I do better?

Then - it's about the content. What I see is that he attacks lots of leadership issues and delves into topics from the Word of God. He also tells the story of what is happening at NewSpring Church. I'm confident that as my walk with God moves forward, as Oasis grows and as I surrender to the Spirit of God - there will be something to say. I guess that I've just held back because I'm not sure that anybody is really following what I say anyway. I'm learning that I really need to be myself, be obedient to what God is doing in me - and then write it down. If influence or "followers" come - it will come at the hand of God.

This past week - I spoke about "Envy" and I had to check my motives before I wrote this entry. I have to admit that via the web, via twitter - I had begun to have some pastor envy. However, I can honestly say that I love what Perry does. I say - go for it - get better and better! You are encouraging a whole new generation of pastors and leaders. I rejoice with you in your success in the Kingdom! Keep it up - I am learning so much and so..... and yes, I do want to blog like Perry Noble!

Hey Scott!!!
People do follow you!!! At least I do anyway. I think we all have people that encourage us to be better. That's what we are in relationships for, to have someone challenge us and strengthen us! I love reading thought provoking blogs that challenge me to take a look at where I am in my leadership and make sure I don't feel like I have it all figured out and the things in which I feel I do, be open to "change" by a different perspective. Its what people call with a negative connotation, "Liberalism" or other wise known as open to examine change;)(sorry about the little above rant) KEEP BLOGGING...If not for anyone else but yourself!!! What you have to say is important and impacting to someone!
