Help a friend beat foreclosure

American Dream, after Grant Wood

UPDATE: I’ve updated the links to Paypal to help track the money coming in easier.

This morning, I sent out a cry for help via Twitter and Facebook ::

Close friend found out home will be foreclosed on Nov 1. Wonder if 450 peeps would donate $10 to cover their deficit…

For #justicefriday ::

Lots of good stuff in there. Well worth the 25 minutes.

You can read my notes from watching it the first time.

What’d you think? What notes did you take? How will you take these ideas and apply them in your community?

#B90X Day 1 notes

So I’ve begun my #B90X challenge – reading the Bible in 90 days.

I finished day 2 this morning. It’s actually going quite well — I think. I’m using the TNIV version to read with right now, and a copy of it without chapter and verse references, which makes the reading so much easier — more like a novel. The readings seem to take about 45 minutes so far.

So here are some of my notes, questions that came up in Day 1. I’ll try and post these on a regular basis, but I make no promises.

Some great Twitter peeps

You know, I’m still amazed that folks find my blog, read it and subscribe to it.

I’m also amazed that folks find what I share on Twitter worth while. But for some reason, I just crossed the 600 mark with my Twitter followers and I just want to say thanks!

For whatever reason you’ve decided I’m worth some of your time. Thanks.

I know I don’t follow everyone (I’m currently following about 400 folks) but I appreciate the time you’ve taken to follow me and share life with me. So HUGE PROPS to all of you!

UPDATE: @walter tells me that Twitter Mosaic only shows 400 or so people, so I’ve changed out the mosaic to my Twitter Friends (those I follow and they follow me back) — since I’m only following 400 or so folks, hopefully no one will get left out.

Just look at all these beautiful faces!

One of my favorite videos from #thenines ::

Skye Jethani asks, “Where does our legitimacy (in ministry and leadership) come from?”

So many good points. So worth the nine minutes.

Notes from #thenines

Tomorrow I’ll be sharing another video from #thenines — from author Sky Jethani.

Pure greatness! Be sure and look for it and watch it. It’s worth all nine minutes.

But in the meantime, I thought I’d share my notes from the event — in their raw form.

I thought about cleaning them up some but instead, I just made a quick PDF and decided to share them as-is, with no warranties or guarantees implied.
