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.
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?
Give them away

Been chewing on this idea and quote from Shane Claiborne’s book “The Irresistible Revolution”
Thought I’d do some quick word art (with my favorite font currently – sketch rockwell) to illustrate it.
Anyone seen this play out in their own life?
This is the kind of fast day I’m after:
to break the chains of injustice,
get rid of exploitation in the workplace,
free the oppressed,
cancel debts.
What I’m interested in seeing you do is:
sharing your food with the hungry,
inviting the homeless poor into your homes,
putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on,
and your lives will turn around at once.
Your righteousness will pave your way.
The God of glory will secure your passage.
Then when you pray, God will answer.
You’ll call out for help and I’ll say, ‘Here I am.’
Isaiah 55:6-9
For those interested or curious, you can listen to the message I shared with my tribe yesterday.
