i’m truly grateful to the folks at Passion and this is such a cool and inspiring video of what a group of 45,00+ youth adult (18-25 year olds) can do when given the opportunity. i was watching some video on monday from the event in Atlanta when Louie Giglio announced their goal of $1million. i thought…wow that’s ambitious…then 24 hours later he announced they had raised $550,000. Last night i heard they were over the goal of $1 million and then today to hear that final amount is more than $3 million raised to help end sex trafficking and the slavery of some 27 million indivuals around world…even here in the USA. so cool that CNN helped leverage the story all the more. in time when there is so much darkness…it is a blessing to see this.
do it now…45,000 reasons change is coming
the hands of freedom
although practical politics is something i’ve stayed away from for a few years after a decade and half of serious engagement at the national and state level. one can’t help be be engaged by the current exploits. its interesting to see how things are beginning to take shape…and i’m impressed by this guy from the keystone state. particularly i like how he walked through his win yesterday. thanking his helpmate…thanking his God…and sharing the story of the “why” of his effort. grateful for his willingness to engage. wonder what the race will look like when it gets to ohio?
cooking with melinda 2011
here’s some video from the amazing work my bride melinda did the kitchen for new year’s eve.
so wish there was a way to share the aroma of the effort. although we rang in the new year with amazing food and the company of some good friends i pray you’ll give consideration to this list of resolutions Jonathan Edwards penned many years ago…ponder just this first one:
Resolved, That I will do whatsoever I think to be most to the glory of God, and my own good, profit, and pleasure, in the whole of my duration; without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriads of ages hence. Resolved, to do whatever I think to be my duty, and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved, so to do, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many soever, and how great soever.
praying your new year’s eve was blessed and that many blessings come your way in 2012.
