Remember that Seinfeld episode where Jerry can’t remember his girlfriend’s name? He can’t ask her because, well, it’s complicated. So he asks all sorts of questions, only to discover it rhymes with a part of the female anatomy. Unfortunately, that clue still doesn’t help (until the end of the show). Well, I’m beginning to wonder [...]
I’m writing this a day early because tomorrow will be busy. We’ll wake up early so Peter can put the turkey in the oven. He’ll also make the dressing (the Yankee kind, instead of cornbread dressing), I’ll make the sweet potato casserole – half with pecans and the other half with marshmallows. We’ll divide most [...]
When you only have two one hours left to write and publish a blog post because you’ve committed to NaBloPoMo (where you agree to write a blog post every day for the month of November), and because you mentioned that commitment and your fear of the next thing in your Huddle on Monday and you [...]
This morning as I finally settled down to have my quiet time and journal, I began writing to God about how frazzled and unsettled I was. “I’m feeling anxious about so many things to do and finding my rhythm.” Then the Holy Spirit reminded me of Paul’s words to the Philippians. “Be anxious for nothing, [...]
Today on High Calling Blogs, David Rupert (along with the help of Monica Sharman) provided a list of interesting posts by fellow High Calling Blogs network members.

“DIE STINK BUGS! DIE!” I know. That’s a little harsh, especially since it’s Friday and we’re about to be snow bound for the weekend. But c’mon. I hate bugs! This morning I found a stink bug on the inside of my coffee cup. That wouldn’t be so bad, except my cup was still about a [...]
People want to do good. TOMS Shoes gets it. Watch the video below and see if you agree. TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One. Here are my observations from the video: It’s more about putting other people ahead of you. Showing hugs and smiling children (or how [...]
Several people have emailed me this morning to let me know the Facebook Ads story has turned into a Facebook meme (rhymes w/cream). A friend in Florida received the note from a friend of his in Hawaii. A reporter in Chicago just contacted me for a story they’re running. (I’ll provide the link when available.) [...]
I’ve heard of the “Digg Effect” (akin to the Brogan Bump or the Oprah Effect) but had no idea I would ever experience it myself. Until last week when I wrote this Facebook Ads post that created quite a stir. My post generated subsequent posts on Mashable, Digg, Reddit, ReadWriteWeb, Download Squad, WalletPop and more. [...]
