    Frank, I am also glad you are coming back to blogging. I started blogging again just a few days ago after a long sabbitcal. I however am not returning to the topics of church planting, just more thoughts, reflections and covering events of our city but I’d love to sit down and interview you sometime via email.

    Just so you know, the speakers on my computer were not working, so there I was… under my desk… volume up on HIGH and I see it’s not connected properly. Connection made…. walls were thumping.. hahaha. Nicely done, Mr. Viola. Great that you’re back!

    Happy to have you back. One minute of good information and two minutes of ‘Humor and canned fanfare’ – from a guy I take seriously? Oh well!!

      Thanks. I don’t take anyone seriously who (1) doesn’t have a sense of humor, and who (2) takes themselves seriously all the time. In fact, I try to stay clear from such people. 🙂

        Yeah… looks like a good piece of advice to me. Wait, wasn’t that even in Proverbs??? … ah… ummh.. well, sorry, I guess I just mixed up with that one a little bit…

    You would use an Aerosmith intro. (I kid, that song was actually the first thing that came to mind when I read the title.)

    Look forward to what you have to share with us after your break from the blogging world!
