About Meadow Hill
Created in 1998, Meadow Hill is a small publishing company that works to create graphics, promotions, and motivational material for small church groups. It was based off of another project in 1997 with another name, but Meadow Hill retained virtually all the same goals and resources as the original.
The website went live in October of 2001, and has kept a love/hate relationship with being open to the public. In the Spring of 2007, it became the home for John Stansbury, the publisher, founder, and guiding force of Meadow Hill.
The name is the name of a street I lived on. Yep, it’s deep on many levels. The reason it’s not meadowhill.com is because somebody figured that would be a nice domain name to get, about three months before I did. It was also a street he lived on.
Chock full of deep around here, aren’t we?
The site’s original purpose was for the distribution of my desktop publishing wares. These days that seems to be less and less of an interest for many people, what with all that Web 2.0, social networking, diggbaiting culture of the modern internet. So, too, has Meadow Hill changed with the times. It’s now a repository of John Stansbury’s latest bad ideas.
About John
John works as a Youth Minister in southern Georgia, and tends to spend entirely too much time wasting his life on the internet. He is a Featured Linker on Ma.gnolia, a section editor for WizbangTech, and a generally nice guy.
Except if you give him something to do before he’s fully awake. That’s generally around some time after 10 am. Before that, and he’s pretty much a grouch. And the grouchiness stays all day, so pack a lunch.
He got the Bronze Star medal for his service in 2002-2003 freeing an oppressed people from a power-mad genocidal dictator in Iraq. That’s where he permanently broke his neck.
He turned Christian in the 80s. He figured the word ‘Christian’ started to lose all meaning in 2007, so he he started using other ways of saying it. Jesus called himself ‘Son of Man,’ and the Jews referred to their God as ‘Jehovah,’ so I figure I could do something like that. John currently follows the Way, is a Ragamuffin, and constantly seeks to follow the will of God.
He’s not very good at it, though. But when he followed that plan of salvation, he started his walk with his God. Yeah, total “Footprints in the sand” time. Sad, but true.
He loves his Mac, he loves his music, and he loves his internet memes.
