Amos Story Music Video by Aaron Ivey

I’ve written about Aaron Ivey before and how I not only greatly love and respect him as a person but also as an artist and activist. I think his latest album is fantastic, and one of my favorite cuts is “Amos Story.” Here’s the music video they just released for this song.

Help Compassion International Help Haiti

Unless you’ve been completely out of touch you know that Haiti was hit by a 7.0 earthquake Tuesday, a catastrophe whose epicenter was right around the capital, Port Au Prince. I’d like to ask you to consider helping those affected by the Haiti earthquake by giving financially to Compassion International’s disaster relief fund.

Repent Spoken Word

I’m out of town all this week.  I’m speaking for the spiritual emphasis week at Calvary Day School in Savannah, GA.  Any and all prayers are much needed and appreciated.  I’ll let you know how it goes.

In the meantime, here’s a video we produced back before the holidays that just released recently.  It’s a spoken word on the concept of repentance.  It’s part of our effort to introduce some of the words associated with “Re,” this summer’s camp theme.

Actually, this is just a short edit of the piece.  The full cut will be released in association with studentlifeBIBLEstudy.

Enjoy!

How To Live In 2010: 35 Essential Qualities

There are any number of strategies that are recommended when trying to produce a good blog. One, of course, is to offer valuable content. Amongst content that will be considered valuable is the ever-popular “how to” post. I’ve decided to tackle a big one. How to live in 2010. The following are not steps to be taken in a given order, but are, instead, what I consider to be essential qualities to life. I hope you find them helpful.

Failure Is Not An Option

As everyone’s aware (hopefully) we have entered a new year. Amongst other happenings, this is significant because it becomes a time for many people to set out on the road to the rest of their life with a fresh start. Many people mark this renewal by making resolutions, a list of hopes/dreams/aspirations/goals that they plan to accomplish in the next year. I have often been counted among these people. While I’ve never really taken it too seriously and often can’t recall on December 31 what I had resolved to by then on January 1, I’ve still fulfilled my duty as a festive new year celebrator by making the list anyway. But not anymore. I will not be making any resolutions this year whatsoever.
