Adam Baker: Sell your crap. Pay your debt. Do what you love.

I’m a big fan of Adam Baker. If you haven’t checked out his blog “Man vs Debt” take some time to do so.

You can also read a short interview I did with him a couple years ago.

Simplify your family

Now for something slightly different….

Family Life Sale

Corey from Simple Marriage and Mandi from Life…Your Way have brought together a super sweet e-book package for those interested in simplifying your family (and your life).

When purchased separately, these ebooks are worth over $450, but for four days only, you can purchase the entire collection for just $47.

Corey’s become a great friend over the last few months as we’ve chatted both online and off-line about a variety of great things. I love his heart and posture and I’m proud to help promote his work (You can listen to his story over at the something beautiful podcast).

Beyond the great material, a portion of each sale will also be donated to Don Miller’s (Blue Like Jazz, Searching for God Knows What) The Mentoring Project, which seeks to rewrite the story of the fatherless generation. VERY COOL!

Living simply in 2010

“Live simply so that others may simply live”
– Gandhi

As the new year begins, many of us have made resolutions to simplify our lives in various ways. Perhaps eating out less, starting a garden, cutting back on cable, reading more books from the local library (as opposed to purchasing them)… etc. etc.

So what are you doing to simplify your life in 2010? And how is it going so far?

Live Simple

   “Live simply…

So that others might simply live.”

– original author unknown

Right now we’re trying to raise money for our friends to keep their house and avoid foreclosure.

My sister’s been raising money to help a family afford their home study for an adoption.

Amy and her family are eating beans and rice all month long in order to help others fund their adoption.

Scott Harrison, and countless others, are giving up their birthday presents to provide clean water for folks around the world.

A boy in our small group has given up his Christmas and birthday presents over the last year to support a child through Compassion International.

What things/causes/issues are you making sacrifices for in your own life, in order to help others live?
