It’s been said by two very important women in my life that “sometimes you’ve just gotta cuss.” So when that guy cuts you off in traffic, or your cell phone company over charges you, rather than yelling at the perpetrator, visit the Profane Game.
See how many words you can think of in the one-minute time limit.

YouTube to offer revenue sharing
What a great idea:
People who upload their own films to video-sharing website YouTube will soon get a share of the ad revenue.
YouTube founder Chad Hurley confirmed to the BBC that his team was working on a revenue-sharing mechanism that would “reward creativity”.
The system would be rolled out in a couple of months, he said, and use a mixture of adverts, including short clips shown ahead of the actual film.
YouTube has more than 70 million users a month and was recently bought by Google.
Getting to know her
My amazing fiance Laurie has posted a bio about herself on her blog.
Hope you enjoy it and get a better glimpse into why I love her so.
Why I love Texas
Where else in the world can you find a pond in someone’s backyard that’s built in the shape of their state/country?
A county commissioner told me about this pond on Friday. Pretty cool if you ask me.
It’s in Ellis County south of Midlothian near the intersection of Matthews Rd and Armstrong Rd.
I’m going to try and find out more about it later this week. I’ll let you know if I do.
An Army cup of tea
My mate Thomas over in Scotland is a member of the local Salvation Army and they’ve put together a great way to connect with those around them.
Church members were given two coffee mugs with a wafer and free trade tea bag. The mugs also come with a prayer card for receivers of the gift to respond with prayer needs to the church.
As i understand it, members are encouraged to connect with a family member, friend, neighbor, co-worker or whomever over a cup of tea.
what better way to make a personal connection and promote the message of Christ.
I wonder if churches could get the local Starbucks or another company to donate a “buy-one get-one free card for a coffee or tea. That might be a helpful push to get church goers to invite a friend or family member to spend time talking with them over a cup of coffee.
Otherwise it would be super cool to do the same thing with a custom coffee mug.
Get out and invite someone to coffee at your favorite local spot, or even into your own home. Show them the love of Christ in a real way.
Friends of God
We watched Alexandria Pelosi’s documentary, “Friends of God” Thursday night on HBO. The Christian Wrestling Federation was featured for a full 1 min and 50 seconds. I thought it was a very fair portrayal.
Sure I’ve read a number of comments online with people laughing at the idea. But they’ve been doing that for the last seven years.
I believe our spot on the 56 minute documentary was the only one with an actual Gospel presentation. Pelosi said in an interview with the San Fransisco Chronicle that as a “lapsed Catholic” a number of evangelicals tried to convert her to Christianity off camera. I’m sure that was frustrating to her.
What would you have done in her shoes or if she was doing a story on you?
I also thought it was interesting that she said no one really made the connection about her and her mother (Nancy Pelosi) but once Jerry Falwell did he kicked her off his bus. Gotta enjoy that Christ-like love.
