Lets Roll

I miss the days of working with other rebelutionaries on a weekly basis. I remember joining up with the old Virtue Mag team as they were just preparing to launch at the end of 2004. It was an exciting year, working with other people about my age on a magazine and learning all the pains and joys that go with running a magazine. I learned a lot, but eventually a few of us there realized that we had a bit of a different goal and a different vision. So we said farewell, and launched into another venture which would soon be called Regenerate Our Culture. Man, oh man, was that a ride!

We had lots of ideas there, many goals and a lot of inspiration, but we all seemed to be short on time, money and most importantly, the experience to really pull off the things we wanted to do. Eventually, I left because I simply needed to sit back and evaluate my own life. A month or so ago, the remaining members decided to put the project on hold because of time constraints all around.

These two projects both started out with noble goals. The first was to give a united voice to young home schoolers. The second was to equip young people with the information they needed to regenerate a dying culture.

As an aside, there was actually a third between the two. A project I started with another group of friends called A SideTracked Focus. It was supposed to be an online Bible study, but it never even seemed to get off the ground.

I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with all of this except to say that I'm ready. I'm ready to jump back in, somehow, some way, I want to get involved again. I have a little bit of extra time and there is no reason to waste the skills and knowledge I've picked up over the last few years. I don't know exactly what I'll be doing, but I cannot sit around doing nothing anymore.

Wow, long time no see. Yep, you know me. :-)

Sounds like your life has been really busy. And you just made me feel really old, reminding me that it was in 2004 that we started Virtue. Whew.

Lita: Wow, I haven't talked to you in a year or two! Good to see you're still alive and writing. And yes, isn't it amazing how long ago that was? So many memories from that year :)

Christa: Oh gosh, I don't even know where to start... I've done a little bit with Alex and Brett Harris when they were first starting out. I've worked a lot with Alex King and Kierstyn Paulino, Agent Tim, and Kristin Braun (aka Spunky Junior, if you remember that far back), and all of the rest of the team from Regenerate Our Culture like David Boskovic and David Ketter and oh-so-many others.
