There once was a man who owned a large farm.

It’s time for a break… a short one at least.
Let’s turn off our all our digital connections (email, Twitter, Facebook and more) this weekend and really spend some time with our friends and families.
Take a break from all the noise and rest.
That’s what I’ll be doing anyways. Starting tonight (Wednesday) at midnight, I plan on disconnecting for the long weekend and don’t plan on returning to the online world until at least Sunday evening.
Friday’s podcast is posted and scheduled (it’s a good one) and otherwise, if anyone needs me you know how to reach me via phone.
Along with spending time with my family, I’m hoping to do some good reading, continue working on the #nanodrawmo project and perhaps get some Frisbee golf or geocaching in.
I might even work on creating some Christmas gifts for this year as well.

After several weeks of taking submissions, the something beautiful podcast 1more event is live.
In celebration of Reformation Day 2011 we asked folks to submit their thoughts to the following question:
If you could say just one thing to the Church universal — what would it be?
If we could add “1more” item to Luther’s 95 Thesis — what would we add?
We had a variety of submissions (including several really creative ones) and I’m so thankful for each one.
They each ring with a different message and a goal of creating a better world through a better Church.
You can view all the submissions online or I’ve shared my submission as well below:
So what about you?
