A Pastor Goes to A Different Kind of Conference

Right now I'm at the Office 2.0 Conference, sitting in a conference room in the posh San Francisco St. Regis Hotel. It's engaging to hear David Allen speak in person. Over the last few years I've found Allen's GTD (getting things done) system to be especially helpful for what I do as a pastor. I think many pastors would benefit from exploring Allen's GTD system, thinking it through from a biblical perspective, and then applying many of his insights.I'm in a different world here. I'm glad I wore my blazer. I'm surrounded by CEOs, venture capitalists, and business figures from Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and all over the world. Other people's nametags say things like "Google," "Sun Microsystems," "Apple," etc. Mine says: "Central Peninsula Church."This should shape up to be a pretty fascinating, different, surprising day for me here at the conference.
