Opportunity
Going out of your way to provide opportunity
This Video had me laughing, then the brokenness of it completely winded me. The follow up is inspiring…
Perfect time of the year for stories like this…
////////Information taken from the Youtube video description//////////////
Throwing this video from the Columbus Dispatch out there, hoping we can find this talent a place to call home.
UPDATE-1: Many thanks go out to all of you who have been tossing phone numbers and e-mails my way for Ted’s sake. I went up to Hudson/I-71 (Columbus) today, but Ted wasn’t there. He is going to be on air tomorrow morning on radio station WNCI. I’ve left my contact info w/WNCI to call/e-mail me on a way to get your enormous opportunities over to him.
I’m going to give him a Trac phone (w/ample minutes) so that he can return calls to all of you.
Hopefully, in some way I’ll get in contact w/him. Peace.
UPDATE-2: To all those who have been writing me (as one of Ted’s only means of contact), I have learned that the radio station interviewing him tomorrow (1-5-11) a.m. is going to make him a formal offer. Whether true or not, we’ll see.
Hope it works out well for him. That was the whole point of me posting this video. I cannot thank enough everyone who was willing to do their part in offering Ted their helping hand.
Whoever lands him is certainly getting much more than a memorable personality; they’re getting a great human being as part of their team.
My best to all.
UPDATE-FINAL: Well everyone. You can give yourselves and Ted a high-five. He’s being given offers hand-over-fist over the air. He’ll be set for life.
My request to all. Whenever you run across a story such as this, don’t assume it’ll take a life of its own, on its own. It won’t. It can’t. There are too many other stories that drown out the one before it.
You need to spend time to get that story and its word out to many. If you care, you’ll do it.
Keep the faith, pay forward and always lend a hand; even if you’re the one who needs it.
God bless Mr. Williams. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him for sometime to come.

Creativity & Education
This animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA’s Benjamin Franklin award.
Proverbs 17:28
"Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent."
It’s not rocket science…
A Living Dog
is better than a dead Lion
Playing around with scans of some woodblock type to create this postcard. Thinking of running it as a screen print if anyone wants one?
When it all goes wrong
It is very gracious of Worship Central and Martin Smith to show this, but I guess they also turned it to their advantage as a bit of clever marketing.
However, it goes to show that even the most experienced worship leader still makes mistakes.
Be encouraged, (if but in a strange way!).
Sundays coming
Hilarious contemporary church satire
Very funny and so true!
