May the Sun Stand Still in our lives...and in Baltimore.

Sun Stand Still


Sorry I've been away so long! Did you miss me? Well, part of the reason I've been so busy is that we've been in the process of launching our new business: Sun Stand Still Enterprises. We aren't where we want to be, but we finally have a web presence. It's a funky little arrangement where you have to have a gift card the first time you shop on the site, but after that you can come back anytime and use your credit card or e-check. So head on over to the site, and if you see something you want to order, click the "contact us" tab and shoot us an email. We'll send you a free $10 e-gift card to get you started. If you're wondering why we don't just send everyone we know a giftcard, it's because supplies are limited.


Now, here's the fun part: we are offering COMMISSION WORK at no cost to you if you are interested in catalog sales. Call or email for more info. We're also doing FUNDRAISING for churches, schools, organizations, etc. (my personal fav!) Come check us out!



For those of you who are interested in the "Sun Stand Still" company name, you should read Joshua 10. It tells the story of how God turned a mistake and an impossible situation into a miracle and an amazing victory. In the spirit of Miracles and Amazing Things, I present to you:


The Baltimore Project


A good friend of mine has decided to take on an entire city for the purpose of changing lives and making it better. He's one of the only guys I know that would take the risk and rearrange his life and his family's to help people he doesn't even know. His wife is amazing as well, and I don't know of too many wives who would stand so fully behind her husband and her faith in pursuit of a calling neither of them fully understands just yet. Tally and Kristy have been great friends and mentors to me, and I'll be sad to see them go. However, The Baltimore Project concept is at the core of what I love about them, and I don't know anyone better suited to taking it on than these two.

Tally & Kristy: I love you guys and I wish you all the best. Stay in touch!

You Lose. But, wait...

Addiction. What a funny little thing. Isn't it strange how something we do for "us" can control us? And many times, we don't even realize we are being controlled. Isn't it also strange the things that can become our addiction? Cigarettes and drugs at least have an excuse...they are physical addictions. But the same can't be said about everything. People are addicted to so many things-- alcohol, sex, tobacco, shopping, vomiting, television, drugs, self-injury, pornography, emotional attention. The list can go on and on. So, here we are. Human, every one. Addiction or not, we screw up. It'll sneak up on you. One day you're fine, you're okay, you're fighting it at every turn and winning. You tear through every excuse you make for relapse and fight your own mind until you win. You shake, you cry, and you beg God for help. And you WIN! Until that one day that you...just ...don't. One emotional sucker-punch that you just weren't expecting. ...

"Take my world apart" - Lessons for surviving friendly dogs and conquering poverty

Image
Today, a dog tried to eat me . Well, not completely, but it sure felt like it. There I was, with this (big) beautiful dog, super friendly and all (really, really big), and I was getting all sorts of tail wags and kisses. No problem. Every sign that I was reading from this (did I mention she was really big?) dog told me she was friendly. Her owner asked me to help put on a harness and size it. I was on one knee and having a hard time sizing it because she was so busy licking my face. I stood up and slipped it over her head, then pet her and began to clip it under her arms, just behind her forelegs. At the exact moment that I got both hands underneath her and I was bent so that her and I were literally nose-to-nose, she froze , for just a quarter of a second. No wagging, no movement, no licking. It was all the warning I got, and it was so fast, I had no time to react. Before I could finish my thought of "hmm, that's not good", she went ballistic. She lunged for my face and...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As the last few minutes of 2007 ticked away, I started reviewing the year in my mind. I don't know how the year was for you, but I can say that for me, it was a test of my mind, body and soul. 2007 was a year of doctors and disappointment, of death and sorrow, of trials and tears. There were patches of hope, of amazing love, friendship, family, smiles and laughter. New life, new experiences, and a renewing of sorts in my own life. Among my accomplishments in 2007, I quit smoking, a feat I thought impossible for a long time. I also completed my Animal Behavior College courses, and will be "officially" graduating later this month. I learned a lot, met some new people, and started going to Focal Point Church, which is one of those great things that happened in '07. One of the biggest things that has happened this year is that I've reorganized my priorities. I have had my perception altered, and as a result, my entire worldview has changed. I feel more like the perso...
