Well, it’s official. Dan Case has a blog. On the other hand, it’s not really “new” for me. Back in 1997, the dark ages of the internet for most folks, I was doing what a lot of bloggers are doing today. I just didn’t call it “blogging” because that word didn’t exist yet. In 1997, “high speed internet” was a blazing 14.4K dial-up modem, “broadband” was a group of female musicians, and case-studies.com was born. We sent out a daily email commentary to an email list that grew to 3000 subscribers worldwide, and of course posted all those commentaries on the website, too.

Then, after a few years of hyperfocus, I got a bit burned out and backed off. In fact, I pretty much stopped writing in general. That’s been changing. I’m back at the keyboard, pursuing freelance writing while keeping my bill-paying job in the radio broadcasting business. I’m working some magazine articles, a couple of book proposals, and some other interesting projects. And, of course, there’s this blog thing.

I’m also trying to restart my other related sideline doing speaking engagements. I have one basic rule for speaking engagements… “any time, any place, anywhere, as long as you don’t mind me talking about Jesus.” You see, I’m a blatant Christian. I don’t go around trying my best to offend folks like some of my brethren have done, but I also don’t have a “church folks version” and an “inspiring but secular” version. I won’t criticize those who do, but I don’t. If you don’t want to hear about Jesus, then you should call someone else.

But, if you don’t mind hearing about Jesus, and you need someone cheap… well, call me anyway. :)  I can preach, teach, do dramatic monologues, or just share my heart. My favorite themes are grace, restoration, and healing for broken hearts.

But for now, my overgrown lawn is calling me, and I must answer before the homeowner’s association shows up with a ruler.
