I'm running 100mph this week, so only a few thoughts today...
- Hard doesn't mean God's saying "no." It means he's saying "grow."
- Oh my gosh, did that just sound like Rick Warren? I think it did.
- I'm so ready for T'hanksgiving.
- Integrity Music and Carlos Whittaker are taking over StoryUnfolding.com for the event.
- We're picking the finalists for the Oxford trip give-away this week... with the winner to be announced at STORY. I'm thinking of winning it under a pseudo-name. =)
- Blaine Hogan is running a really cool "100 Words" series on his blog. I sent him mine today.
- I've responded to over 12 people's inquiries about my out-of-the-box church website idea and heard back from none. Changed thinking is soooo hard.
- The John Ortberg lunch filled-up with 200 people in about 5 hours yesterday. Wow. People like them some free food... or some free John Ortberg. =)
- Went to my son's elementary school this morning to see him get an award for "citizen of the month." Which basically means he rocks. =) Ainsley and I were horrified that we had to put this sign in our yard though. We're simple people. We don't like to brag. About our son. And how he rocks.
At least it doesn't say something like "Best yard on the block"

Wha? You mean no bumper sticker on the van "My child is Citizen of the Month" next to the "My child is an Honor Roll Student?"
As far as your site idea goes, we're not in a position to change but I'm very curious as to your idea. If you don't mind sharing give me a call or drop me an email sometime.

(About your website statement) I've been trying to talk our team into contacting you since we're redesigning our website, but unfortunately we don't have the $ - so we're doing it ourselves on iWeb. I tried!
