Brody Harper has this really cool thing going on Tuesdays called Positive Post Tuesday. Essentially, you just pick someone to say something good about, and post it for all to see. I've never participated before, but I think I'll jump in today.

I want to spotlight someone I've never met, but who has become a friend via our correspondence with one another on blogs, Twitter, and Facebook. I haven't told him I going to do this, so it will be a surprise to him.

Billy Chia is a great guy. Why do I say this? For numerous reasons.

He recently dove into full-time ministry and relocated his family to Huntsville, AL to serve as a worship pastor. He's been a member of our worship blogging community for quite a while, and is someone you can constantly count on to be an encourager. So many times, Billy may be one of the few—or the only one—to comment on your posts.

In fact, when I recently twittered about my pastor's new blog, Billy was the only non-local to drop a comment. That's really a great gesture. I can't tell you how many times someone's twittered about a new blogger to welcome to the community, and I just let it pass me by. Not so with Billy.

I can't tell you how many times notes through the aforementioned avenues have been an encouragement. Not only to me, but I'm sure to many others in our blogging community as well. (Even as I write this, I'm looking over at TweetDeck and seeing Billy welcoming another sheep into the Twitter fold.)

Lately, Billy has been featuring the Facebook flair of other bloggers. That's such a great thing to do, give up your own time and blog space to freely promote someone else.

Billy is always full of energy, and I'm praying that God uses him to enact great things for the Kingdom in Huntsville. Just last week he was part of an inter-church time of worship in Huntsville along with the likes of fellow bloggers Jan Owen and Dean Lusk. I love seeing stuff like that happen in the body of Christ.

If you haven't checked out his blog, you definitely should. Go say hello to Billy.
