Renamed by God

It is no small event when the LORD renames a person. Israel was first Jacob. Abraham was first Abram.

Well, it would appear that that LORD has decided to start calling me Josh. So, I have embarked on reading about Joshua. It means “God saves”. And, he was given the city of Tamath-serah, which means “double portion”. Liking them both.

Here is the emails where it all happened. Three different people who are totally unrelated all called me “Josh”. It took three times for me to finally get it.

Hi Josh,

It would be great to get together sometime. Any chance you have some time on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 3?  I’ll be in Denver to see some other folks (I work from Boulder primarily) and I have some time between 1:30 and 3:30.  If that’s not good for you, feel free to throw out some other times.
By way of background, I’m attaching a little bit of information on my company.
Best,
Lauren

No worries, Dave.

Would you like to meet Thursday morning? I could meet you at the REI Starbucks at 9:30, if that will work.
Peace and favor,
John

I am not real familiar with the area, but sure. It will work fine.

Is there a coffee shop around there?
Peace and favor,
John

Here’s what I say you do:

You minimize the noise of social and channel that down to an optimum engagement.

As a marketer, this would allow me to better focus my spend and be much more effective at reaching my audience where they actually are. It allows me to prioritize my efforts.
What would you say you do?
Peace and favor,
John
