Thanks to a new ruling by the Library of Congress, cellphones can now be moved from one network to another and the companies can’t stop you.
For example, if you got a cellphone from Sprint that you absolutely love you can switch that phone over to Cingular’s network legally.
Now why you wouldn’t just update your phone and get a new free phone with your new contract is beyond me — but for those of you who really love your old phones — the option is now there.

Speaking of…the Pink Motorola Razr is available from Verizon and Wal-Mart for less than $29! Just in time for Christmas.

UMHB Alumni Erin Rigsby (2000) was quoted in a recent article for the Baptist Standard. She was at UMHB for their mission conference and spoke about her work in Jos, Nigeria.
Erin was not in Jos the same time we were, she was on furlough but I did see her at the wrap up banquet for our trip.

Erin Rigsby, a 2000 UMHB nursing school graduate, had a goal in returning to her alma mater.
“God changed my life at UMHB,” said Rigsby, now a missionary in Jos, Nigeria. “He made it clear I needed to learn to love people who are different from me. That led to my desire to serve oversees.”
The 2000 graduate hopes to pass on to other students “to learn to love those that are unloveable and to learn to embrace the differences in others.”

I’ve been posting updates and prayer requests from Erin on my Nigeria Blog. Be sure to keep her and the work in Nigeria as well as missionaries around the world in your prayers.

Curbly.com has great instructions for building a photo wall on wire.

I’m not sure if I should post this on here or not. I thought it would be a great gift idea for me to give this Christmas. Wouldn’t want someone to think I’m giving it to them and them not get it, or have someone not be surprised when they see it. Of course judging by their reaction it might also be a great way to tell if folks really read my blog like they say they do. ;-). Either way Lifehacker links to a great “photo in a box frame” DIY. All you need is an interesting looking book, a few of your favorite photos and an Exacto knife or razor and you’re set.

Brandi has a great post on her new found passion – football. Ok, passion may be a bit of an exageration but she has learned to enjoy the sport and her Dallas Cowboys.

Football wasn’t a very big part of my life growing up. Even though I went to a large high school in Texas with a good team and lived with a Dallas Cowboys loving dad, I never got into it. It was too complicated, the games were too long, there were better things to do.
I knew going into it that being with Aaron was going to add a lot more football to my life. His dad was a coach, all three boys played in high school and his brother played in college. It’s not just a passive hobby in their house. It’s a lifestyle.
