Recently met with the Board of Directors of Hawaiian Islands Ministries (HIM) ... the coolest, wisest, entrepreneurial Board of the century! We had a visioning retreat, the first one in many years. And all were present!

HIM has a lot of great plans coming down the pipeline, so get ready!

We are looking forward to "Straight Talk," a luncheon where guest speaker Mark Platte (Hawaii News Now News Director) will give a talk on faith in journalism. It hits the issue on 2 sides: What is our faith in the the state of jounalism? Will it last? Is it fair? How does one share one's faith in God in journalism?

And then there's the HONOLULU 2011 conference, which rolls into town March 24-26 at the Hawaii Convention Center. Looking forward to seeing you at both events!"
