I don’t hate PDL. I won’t bash on it much. It has some useful stuff in it. I just think there are better books out there that accomplish more effectively what Warren is trying to do.

I don’t really believe in mass marketing. I do believe in mass art, mass communication. Mostly I do believe in mass quality, and PDL is just okay. But saying that will not make me any friends, I’m well aware. Nevertheless, I’m not perticularly fond of PDL from the get-go.

Frankly, I don’t know how much time I’ll have for it. I have three books and two other devotionals going on, both of which are checked to see my progress, and the church expects me to take on a third. Gah. If only there were more conformity across ministry teams. I hope I never build a church this fragmentary.

I’ll quit bitching now and go back to work. Sorry to vent, there are good things at VCF Champaign. Just too many directions everyone expects “leaders” to go. Maybe I’ll just say no to PDL, and do some meditation of my own on the concepts therein, since I’ve already read the thing.

On another note, I noticed that typekey seems to be working. Which is sorta random, considering the blog crash and the loss of comments and such. It isn’t quite perfect as of now, it doesn’t work great with the “reply to this” plugin I installed, but none-the-less, it works, and subsequently I now recommend that people use it, so I can stop approving the comments. Which is annyoing, but fortunately I’ve banned the IP addresses of many of the offending spammers, so I get much much less now, but with typekey I could get even less I bet.

Don’t know why, just a hunch.
