Falling Off the Face of the Earth

I sit here typing to you from my couch. I'm still wearing what I wore to bed last night, and haven't yet taken a shower. So far, it's been an exceptionally wonderful down day. Unfortunately, this is the first time it's happened in what seems like months, and I'm not alone. Leslie, Mike, Jack, Matt and I seem to be heading in a thousand different directions in our lives, and scheduling a time to get together (via conference call) and put some more life into the Church is Alive proved to be difficult.

But we finally did it. In fact, we even had a follow-up brainstorming session a week later. Considering our individually hectic lives, I personally consider it a notable accomplishment. We are aware, however, of our on-again, off-again relationship with you. Sometimes it seems we're in your inbox every day, other times it seems like weeks since you've heard a peep from the Church is Alive. Please know that we're aware, and that we plan on doing something about it.

We're growing. At least, we're in the initial stages of growing. In addition to accepting submissions (we'll always do that!), we plan on having a group of 8-18 regular contributors, each posting every few months or so. This should keep things fresh and exciting, as well as holding to our roots as a user-generated content platform (buzzwords!).

So, what do you think? Could this evolving concept of the Church is Alive fly? Are you itching to to be a regular contributor? We don't wanna be falling off the face of the earth anymore.
