Hey all... I'm sitting here in Indianapolis with my buddies of the Young Adult Commission. We are talking about the future of young adult ministry, the exciting events for the upcoming General Assembly in Ft. Worth, and more plans for the year. It's exciting to be a part of such a group with so many fresh ideas and input as to where the church needs to be moving and the ways it can embrace the passion of young adults.
In the midst of that, I decided to update DisciplesConnect. We have a new look and the system underneath is all fancy and better now. I suppose. What do you think?
I'll be working on more bugs and some new features. In particular, the buddy list is smoother now. I will also be adding a cool feature to find young adults in other states from a central page.
Also, Nick Green and AG Woods are the new DCModerators - Disciples Connect Moderators. They will help me fix bugs and edit content and so on. Plus, coming soon - the Disciples Connect newsletter! And more...
So what do you think so far?
I for one am thankful for this site already and I have only been a member for about a day. It is nice to have a place where the theological converstations can happen and know that there are people out there who know what you are feeling. Just to have someone say, hey I understand means more than I can say. So "Thank you" to whoever started this site.

I love the new look. Everything runs so much smoother than before. But most importantly, people have come to share their own experiences of the Good News and give us a chance to unite and grow.
Wow, I never thought I'd grow up to be a DCModerator. I don't really know what that means, but for now I'll assume that it has great importance and relevance in the grand scheme of life, the universe, and everything.
I noticed that when I blogged I received 5 new points! I'm so excited that I must inquire: What are these points and how many do I need to get before I get a Ferrari? Just curious.
Nick
p.s. How cool is it that I got 2 points for responding to your blog? (...and possibly get another 2 for this bogus comment.) I think that comments should have more weight than blogs since connection doesn't really begin until someone makes a response. Of course, I am speaking out of self-interest since I have my eyes set on that Ferrari.
