Viral Vision

I love how web 2.0 tools allow vision to go viral. Last week, I posted this blog with a heart shattering video.

Then, it was posted over at Simply Missional.

Then, Flowerdust posted it and had people sponsor Compassion Kiddos.

Then it was shared all over twitter.

Then all over Facebook.

It was posted at These Words of Mine.

You get the idea.

Or do you? We can’t – in good faith – see something like this, know that it is happening…and sit back and do nothing.

Think about it this way…doing something isn’t just about helping these children. It’s not just about releasing children from the burden of poverty — it’s about releasing us from the burden of wealth.

Again, I CHALLENGE YOU.

Go sponsor a Compassion Kiddo NOW.

Something tells me that if you have a computer to read this post, you can probably swing the $32 a month. Sponsoring a child is simple. Over 80% of your sponsorship goes directly to support that child and his/her family with basic needs – food, health care, education and also, Compassion is dedicated to sharing the gospel with these children.

Vision Twitch Strikes AGAIN.

First it was this.

Then it was this.

Now…

What would you be willing to attempt for God if you knew you could not fail?

I think the reason some people won’t jump at something God is telling them to do is that it doesn’t make sense.

Ouch. IT’S CALLED FAITH.

Superbowl Sunday Mind Dump

  • Today was an AMAZING start to a NEW SERIES at THE CONNECTION CHURCH. We kicked of a 4 week series called Rock of Love. Its all about relationships and marriage.
  • Today, we saw record attendance. We didn’t mail out a card or hand out postcards. We didn’t launch a special website. But, we did do everything we could (on the zero budget we had) to empower people to invite their friends…and they did. Connection Church…YOU ROCK.
  • LET’S DO IT AGAIN THIS SUNDAY!
  • Cole’s message was awesome today. I personally know of one couple who has been living together (not married) that the message today touched deeply. I’m pretty sure they’ll get hitched soon.
  • Micah and the band did a slamming job with the music today!
  • The PAC was PACKED OUT today. Awesome!
  • The huge crowd caused big space issues in Tiny Town. A great problem to have and one that we’ll jump on this week. You can help us jump on it by attending the EARLY SERVICE each week until we say otherwise. THAT is a super easy way to help us reach people!
  • The Superbowl actually turned out to be a great game. I would have loved to see the Cardinals win (so Jerheme Urban could have a ring; he played with my bro in college) but at least three former Longhorns are taking home rings with the Steelers!
  • I still maintain that the Horns should play in the Superbowl every year.
  • Looking for a cheap, used trampoline for Couper. The kid loves to jump…anyone got one?
  • Amber found me a FREE ENGLISH BULLDOG PUPPY today…I want one bad. But, we have two dogs and no room for another. If I could have one, I would name him something cool like Blaster, Ritz, Craps, or Gambler.
  • Starting a new marathon training program this week to get me ready for the Texas Cowtown Marathon!
