Silence on a blog is deafening. Moreso when it’s your own.  Sorry folks for the lack of posts here lately - my life busyness has gone up quite a few notches while I’ve been making the transition to my new place of ministry and all the elegant fun that goes with it!  This is also the reason why “Organize Series” (the plugin I develop) hasn’t been getting much love lately.  I decided to post this note because I wanted to give a heads up that Unfolding Neurons is still alive and kicking but will just be in a bit of suspended animation until my family and I get moved and settled.

I stumbled across this site thanks to a Catalyst Post and it’s a useful look at varying perspectives on God. This site gives voice to the raw thoughts of many that the average Christian would never hear. At the very least it gives insight into the struggles some face with the whole “faith” thing and serves as a good reminder of the people God wants us believers to share His gift with… (and take a careful look at just how well we’re sharing!)

StreamingFaith.com conducted this interesting interview with Seth Godin discussing how the church isn’t doing a very good job of reaching people with their message in today’s new “marketing era”.  I really like his observations on the usefulness of blogging - something that I think the church is way behind on…check out the interview at, Is Today’s Modern Church Busy Making Meatball Sundaes?

Well it’s official (and I can announce now). I’m going to be starting a new ministry as the Assistant Pastor of Waterloo Pentecostal Church. I’m really looking forward to this new position and working with the leadership team there. It’s absolutely incredible (and I confess a bit of a whirlwind too!) the journey God has been bringing my family and I through this past two months. I’ve posted more information and thoughts about this change on my family blog. You can read more there.

I first reported about my webhost (ixwebhosting.com) doing a major server move last week that affected the uptime of unfoldingneurons.com and some of my other websites over the weekend.  At first it seemed like all things went well with the move (albeit not much improvement in speed as they said there would be), however since the move the php mail() function has been borked on my server and all the services dependent on that function don’t work.  That means that new people can’t register for my plugin support forums and people requesting a password change won’t get anywhere either.

I’ve been trying to get my host to speed up a fix but unfortunately there communication has been pretty much nil and aside from the “we’re working on it” that I obtained from a fellow named Artem in the chat support I have no clue as to when it’ll get fixed or what the problem is to begin with.

This is just one more thing to add to the list of things I’ve been dissatisfied with this host and if I haven’t heard anything from them by tomorrow I’m going to start looking at other webhosts for all my domains and websites.  I’ve got a list of webhosts I’ve been keeping an eye on for a while but maybe my readers will have some suggestions?
