Helping our friends beat foreclosure – update
It’s been two and a half weeks since I put out a plea to all my blog readers, Twitter friends and Facebook peeps to help our friends beat foreclosure.
The plea was simple — can we get 450 people to donate $10 by Nov 1 to help them keep their house.

With a little help for our friends
I was looking over the totals that have come in to help our friends beat foreclosure this week.
It’s encouraging to see.
Folks from 2 different countries, 5 different states, people that have never met my friends, are all pitching in to help in a time of need.
To help illustrate this, I put together a quick map highlighting the cities represented thus far.

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…

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!

Cymbrogi
A good friend turned me on to this word yesterday during our short phone call – cymbrogi.
A Celtic term used (pronounced koom-bro-gee) that’s been translated along the lines of “fellow countrymen,” “band of warriors,” and “companions of the heart.”
I love the term and the idea that we as a Church, and smaller communities of faith, should be Cymbrogi.
While searching for more information, I found one group online that uses the term in context of “sword brothers”.
