Do you ever read Tom Ahern’s blog? I’m not talking about his semi-monthly e-newsletter…. which is absolutely marvelous and informative and useful.
I’m talking about his personal blog: “The Little Words Mean the Most” And I love the subhead: “Tom Ahern, Circuit Preacher. Cleaning up donor communications, one tough town at a time.”
On January 31, 2016, he posted a blog about Print and Digital communications. I liked it…lots and lots…
Why so much? Because I’m so tired of so many people thinking that digital communications is the answer to all of life’s problems…the best way to build relationships…the cool way to sit at a restaurant with friends, texting…engaging with those electronic devices instead of connecting with human beings in the room with you right now.
So check out this Tom Ahern blog… Read it right here…
