I just heard the whole new Zoe CD for the first time. Love it! Thanks so much, gang, for your hard work.
The name of the CD and of our conference (still time to come join us — I understand there is now gas in Nashville!!) is “Fearless.” Who could have known when the planning began just how pertinent that theme would be: fears of terrorism . . . fears of economic collapse . . . fear of political change . . . .
Wait until you hear “We Are Not Afraid (Fearless for You),” written and arranged by Randy Gill!

A friend of mine told me that his best investment so far this year has been the coffee jar where he tosses his loose change. It has held it’s own. It hasn’t made anything, of course; but it also hasn’t lost anything. So that’s his best investment!

I think you might want to mark Mudd In Your Eye. Larry Mudd, the worship minister for the wonderful Manhattan Church of Christ, recently performed “Swine Song” at Highland. And I’ve seen the DVD of “Untouchable” (a rather, ummm, unique telling of the story of Paul’s conversion). This is great, create stuff. Visit his website. So glad he’ll be at our Zoe conference.
I hate to spoil it for your friend, but with inflation, the jar’s lost value too. It’s so true about the fear, it never ceases to amaze me how much the media, politicians, etc. all base their strategies on playing off of people’s fears, and how quickly we buy into it. I often fear that we will (or have already) sell our souls for relief from fear, compromising our most fundamental virtues so that we can sleep a little easier at night.
This too will pass, PTL! \o/
THANKS, friend!! I like it too. Looking forward to working with you again doing our thang this weekend.
Sorry, but the dark side of me chuckles when I see folks whining about waiting in line for gas.
You want difficulty? 200 of the 250 families in the High Island, Texas, School District either lost their homes or had severe damage. They are waiting on SCHOOL SUPPLIES (you know… pen and paper) to start school back up because no one has anything. The football team is trying desperately to keep their season afloat - literally - they are sleeping on cots in the school gym - and still no power.
Level of concern by anyone - not much, not much at all.
What happened to the photo post from yesterday?
