…from where I left off

Today I had the embarrassing experience of going to http://davemast.net to check the network connectivity of one of our video production machines. The post at the top of the page dated October 4th told me that I should probably write something, or at least plan time to decide if I should even continue blogging.

Last you heard, I was on my way to the 2008 Fall Church IT Roundtable.  It was hosted by Trace Pupke at Seacoast Church in Mt. Pleasant SC, and from what I’ve heard (because this is the first “big” RT event I’ve been to), it was by far the best. I believe it, because Trace and his team did an amazing job of planning and executing the entire event. From the food to presentations to literature, nothing was overlooked.

The most enjoyable part of the roundtable, hands-down was getting to connect with IT leaders from around the country. There’s always something great about being able to connect with like-minded folks and share ideas, challenges, joys and pains with one another.  I won’t lie — being a lone IT guy in an organization can be a lonely deal at times; there’s not a lot of people in the organization that think like you do, and it’s easy to be misunderstood.  I’m extremely thankful for the CITRT group and the folks that lead it, it has had immeasurable positive impact on my ministry.
