A look into the life of Warren Davis

Is it just me or does everything always seem to come all at once? In freelancing, the term 'feast or famine' seems to be thrown around a good deal. It entails how many freelancers have a lot of business coming in and then seems to drop to a famine stage. The same seems to be true with the rest of life so often. I am supposed to be starting on a big website that could be anywhere from another 2-4 weeks away. It seems like I might be getting some brochure designs in a month. Supposedly conventions are supposed to start in late September, but that one is yet to be confirmed. Then yesterday I receive and email from the News Journal, saying they need a photographer every Friday night for the next 10 weeks for faces of the crowd at football games.

All wonderful and exciting things, but it's interesting how everything just seems to come at once. All the while we're trying to get this small group series rolling. Where was all this stuff the past 2-3 months? Oh well.

There's a movement in ministry that attempts to return to the basics, to focus on love and community. Now, scholars, leaders, laymen and everything in between have discussed, written, or argued about the specifics and whether focus is being lost, but that is not the point for now. I was recently on a website for a well known "community" when I was reminded of all the new buzzwords being thrown around. Fusion, paradigm, journey... and the list could go on for days. I have nothing against these words. I am certain that I likely use them myself on occasion.

It seems that my mind has trouble lately outlining thoughts like this, and I cannot help but feel that part of that is rooted in my disdain for bullet points, especially when they all start with the same letter or spell some relevant word. Not that these are not valid ways for communicating ideas or that they're not memorable for most... I'm just tired of it. On the other side, I find long, well structured sentences riddled with the latest buzzwords difficult to swallow as of late. We are so engulfed in a society that is drowning in information, conveniently filtered to us by the latest marketing.
