Top 12 communication pet-peeves
I do my best to offer grace and understanding to folks — no matter where they are, what they’re doing or how they’re doing it.
But sometimes when it comes to communicating, certain things get under my skin. I’m not sure why, they just do. So I thought I’d offer a little insight into my world with a list of my Top 12 communication pet-peeves.
(I know some of these might feel like I’m picking on you. I’m not. Trust me, there are more than one person that does each of these — and several folks do multiples of these. Consider this a confession on my behalf more than anything else. Perhaps this list will give you a little more understanding into my world — and then you can offer some insight into your world as well.)

Posterous as a Twitter Client

Blessed are you…
A modern telling of the B-attitudes.. 140 characters at a time:
Blessed are those who don’t have it all together.
Blessed are those who have run out of strength, ideas, will power, resolve, or energy.
Blessed are those who ache because of how severely out of whack the world is.
Blessed are those stumble, trip, and fall in the same place again and again.
Blessed are those who on a regular basis have a dark day in which despair seems to be a step behind them wherever they go.
Blessed are you, for God is with you, God is on your side, God meets you in that place.
The gospel is the counter-intuitive, joyous, exuberant news that Jesus has brought the unending, limitless, stunning love of God to even us.

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.
