Blogging about People
One of the reasons that I haven't blogged much recently is that much of my life is taken up with meetings.... meetings with real people. I've met with critics of emergent, and fans, talked with some on the phone, met with others in person. And I just don't think it's appropriate to blog about such things.
For instance, I met with Tim Keller last month. We had a great time together (at least I thought so), and I now consider him a friend. And I've gotten several emails and calls asking me to blog about our time together -- some people are jonesing to know what we talked about. But I just can't bring myself to blog publicly about what I talked about over a cup of coffee with a guy (OK, I'll tell you this: Tim had Earl Grey tea).
So there. I guess I've got to find other things to blog about.

Earl Grey!! Ok, that's it, I'm going to have to join Redeemer now.
Good call, personal conversations are personal.
Good move. Heaven forbid us to fall into the trap of objectifying our relationships.
Did he have honey with his tea? Earl Grey is really great with a bit of clover honey.
I would have loved to be the fly on that wall.
I had milk in my Earl Grey. And if my memory is correct, there were several literal flies on the wall.

tony - that's fair. I read once regarding presidential friends that there are two kinds of folks. Those who talk about the president and those who talk to the president. But there's no overlap. Probably a paradigm that's helpfully applicable to a number of other situations, eh?
