Meadow Hill

About Meadow Hill, the website of John Stansbury

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 the founder (who just loves writing in third-person) lived on. Yep, it’s deep on so 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 the founder’s 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, facespacing culture of the modern internet (PLS RT). So, too, has Meadow Hill changed with the times, now a repository of some of John Stansbury’s latest bad ideas.

About John

John is 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. That neck is fine now, other than really mucks things up during South Georgia’s frequent tropical weather.

He turned Christian in the 80s. He figured the word ‘Christian’ started to lose all meaning in 2007, so he started trying other ways of saying it. Jesus called himself ‘Son of Man,’ and the Jews referred to their God as ‘Jehovah,’ so do you figure a person 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. Yet, totally true.

Other than his phenomenal singing talent, he’s rather unremarkable.
