Moving...

eJourney 3.0

We are going to make some changes to the Journey blog...let's call it Journey 3.0.  Over the past couple of years we've made several changes to optimize this as a communication tool.  To do this we are going to simplify the site for a little while.  This will give us some time to talk about the next phase and participants.  For those who are interested in this as a part of your ministry, gift and/or desire I'm going to hold a brainstorming meeting in the near future.

This has been a journey...one that continues...thank you for your help in its evolution.  I'm looking forward to 3.0.

We will be in touch.

How much house work do you do?

A study from the University of Michigan found that men are doing more house work now then compared to the amount that men did in 1965. But men before we go patting ourselves on the back, the study states that women still do an average of 27 hours a week compared to our average of 16 hours.

My favorite Chuck Norris Fact:  "There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris' computer.  Chuck Norris is always in control."

Get on The Train

I was texting our Editor-in-Chief on the way to work this morning and looked to my left to see that he was right there next to me.

   

Spring Forward

Just a reminder to move those clocks ahead this Saturday.  This is always an interesting day to see who remembers and who does not.  I always thought it would be fun to do it on Monday instead of a Sunday.  Interesting history behind Daylight Savings Time...makes me wonder if we still need it.

ExPN Junkie

I must admit I can't get enough of the Winter X Games.  My son and I sat down to watch the closing events last night after our FPU class.  This is on my bucket list of things to go see...the doing part isn't going to happen.  Below is Shaun White's gold metal run on the super pipe.  Yesterday's Skier X contest was crazy.  And those snowmoblies keep calling out to me.   It's fun to watch people who enjoy what they do, connect with their fans and put on a great show.

God Tube

Pretty interesting concept here...I have a mixed take on concepts such as this one.  I've scanned the videos...it's given me a few ideas, I like the safe harbor they want to create, it's a great place to stereotype Christians (not a good thing), opens to the door to people who get nervous about the leading solutions because of the junk that is on them, mainly a site for believers.  Makes me wonder if there isn't a site that is less "religious" concept that focuses on God's desire to reach people.  Here is an interview by the CEO of GodTube.

Unpaid Credit Cards Bedevil Americans

"Americans are falling behind on their credit card payments at an alarming rate, sending delinquencies and defaults surging by double-digit percentages in the last year and prompting warnings of worse to come."   more >>>

Pastor Howey kicked off a new series on Sunday titled N-UFF.  You can listen to the message on line if you missed it.  He brings a different perspective that hits home.  There is an enemy that desires to keep you from being free...if only we lived like there was an enemy. 

The article above is reality...but it doesn't need to be our reality.  We are offering a Financial Peace University class which starts January 13th.  I promise you it will be well worth your time.  No matter the state of your finances you will benefit from this class.  We all need to be free and in return offer that freedom to others. 

If not us...then who?
