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…

I shared this on Twitter/Facebook Monday night:
RT @emergentvillage @jeannemstevens: Churches hold $28B in mortgage debt. That amt could provide clean H20 to 1.4 billion ppl for 20 yrs.
I received a couple questions and comments so I thought I’d share my response and comments here as well. I hope you keep in mind that these are my thoughts and I don’t expect you to relate to God in the same way I do. For some, church buildings hold deep value and worth and are literal sanctuaries where they can come and meet with God – however for me… well you can read my thoughts below :-).

So when I suggested earlier this week that perhaps we should all have a dark day from time to time I didn’t mean for Twitter to take it personally – especially not during the work week.
Could have done without their servers (and Facebook and Friendfeed) crashing yesterday — but looks like we survived.
What did you do during the social media crash of 2009?
Here’s what the folks over at Woot.com did… (and there list is far better than mine)
It’s no secret that I enjoy being online and connecting with others.
But being on vacation last week — primarily in international waters — forced me to forgo my daily habits and go dark online for the extent of our trip.
I loved it! It was a nice change of pace for sure. Granted there were several time when I thought — ooh I should Twitter that — but the high price of phone service kept me in check.

In case you missed my Facebook, Twitter updates yesterday, I had the great privilege of taking part in Greg Atkinson’s Church 2.0 forum in Dallas.
It was a relaxed four-hour chat about technology, innovation and social justice. I loved that while there are a number of tech forums and conferences out there – Greg is doing this for the Church – for free. He’s keeping folks informed on the tools out there and helping people see how they can put them to use. And of course – these ideas work outside the Church as well.

Today is justice friday (#justicefriday) on the web…
What is it? It is a day that different people “tweet” about, blog about, facebook about, and generally raise awareness for all sorts of justice issues. From human trafficking to malaria, all sorts of justice issues are raised, with the end goal of generating awareness and action. The point is not just to share statistics, the point is to help other people understand the great justice issues of our day, and how they can respond and act to bring justice.
You can get involved in a couple of ways:
What injustices are you passionate about? What would you like to see your friends and family and others become more aware of and involved in?
What other meme’s do you take part in throughout the week?
