Just letting my three or four devoted readers out there know that for the next 3-4 weeks I'll only be blogging for fun and not out of duty... so resource ideas, inspired stuff, NCYC write ups etc will have to wait... sports, movies, news and observations may appear but only if I'm surfing for FUN!!
Catch you in a few weeks... I have also decided that I will then be launching a lectionary based worship resource blog as a seperate and collaborative project with links and reference to several existing blogs that this will hopefully complement... just one of many different focal points in 2009!! Stay tuned for more...

Speed Thinking
I heard Ken Hudson on radio last week speaking about his creative planning idea called 'speed thinking' as outlined in the book "The Idea Accelerator."
The idea is built on stripping away all the things that stiffle creativity when lots of time is spent in planning. Ken gave a number of listeners 30 secs to write a list of things that would solve a scenario he gave them.... It's not brainstorming because that carries 'the power of the pen' and a few other limitations!!
On ocassion in planning teams I have used a similar approach of 'putting the clock on the group' to bring out the task focus and to remind them that often given 90 mins they still only do the work in the last 5, so just take 5!!
