Dev4Gamers is Back

Well, after being away for far to long, and with a break in a few other areas of my life, Dev4Gamers if off and running again.

For those who do not know what D4G is let me try to give a brief explanation.  Back in 2005 I was at a Pastor's Conference with Bob Veach (@bveach on Twitter).  While we where there I ran into a friend Daryl Watts, member of the Healthy Church Group of the California Southern Baptist Convention.  Daryl was going on about a new thing called a podcast he had heard done by the son of Dr. James Dobson.  In Daryl's own words, he did not understand everything behind the scenes but thought it was cool.  And then the inner geek in me took off.

It was cool, the ability to subscribe to a program and listen to it any time you wanted.  Fantastic!  Just prior to this meeting in the mountains I had begun a blog called Dev4Gamers, a daily devotion that I wrote aimed at those in the gaming community.  Something relevant and real.  After that weekend however, and my love of audio and anything computers, it became an audio podcast.  And so was born the Dev4Gamers podcast.  A short devotion that you could download and play any time you wished.

It was truly amazing to see how God used such a simple thing to touch many lives and make new friends.  And over time those I had met and been able to touch began to reach out and do their own things and even have a larger impact, which is WONDERFUL!

The absence of the podcast had many factors, many of which involved some real life tragedy and sorry that God has brought us through, and admittedly some laziness or self pitty.  But now, more than ever, if this only benefits me and my walk, is it time to start up again.

I encourage you to send feedback if you like or dislike it, agree or disagree.  You can always get a hold of me by emailing manorton@gmail.com Gtalking to the same address, Skype at mano-igo or follow my twitter at http://twitter.com/manorton
