Christ be with me

Christ before me

Christ behind me

Christ in me

Christ beneath me

Christ above me

Christ on my right

Christ on my left

Christ where I lie

Christ where I sit

Christ where I arise

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me

Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me

Christ in every eye that sees me

Christ in every ear that hears me

Salvation is of the Lord.

Truth be told,  we originally wanted to talk to Danielle McCormick because she's originally from Ireland and we thought it would be fun to have someone with an Irish accent on the air on St. Patrick's Day.  But we came away impressed with the concept of her new web project MyCubi.com

The idea is to be this kind of "eBay of services", where people can post services they are in need of and local businesses can then bid on those jobs.  Her ultimate goal is to help connect people in their community through her site - and we think that's pretty cool.

Back in January we were introduced to the concept of My One Word.  Instead of making a new year resolution, narrow your focus on what you want to be this year into just "one word". Lisa chose the word "Dream", while I (Eric) chose "Present".  Today we caught up with the man who came up with the idea - Pastor Mike Ashcraft of Port City Community Church in Wilmington, NC - and he shared that it's never too late in the year to come up with your word. 

If you haven't chosen your word, click here for some ideas.  If you already have your word for the year - what is it and has it helped you focus this year?

All the votes are in and we have a winner! Congratulations to Jeff Davis from Arizona - Jeff is the grand prize winner of K-LOVE's Jars of Clay Rewind contest! Jeff won a trip to Indianapolis to get a VIP experience at one of only four Jars of Clay Rewind concerts, where they'll perform their debut album in it's entirety. Check out Jeff's winning video ...

Ron White of Fort Worth, Texas has a lot of 'mental muscle'. The Navy Vet recently won for the second year in a row the annual USA memory Championship. Some of events included memorizing the names of 99 people and their pictures, a 50-line poem in free verse and over 100 single numbers in the right order.

Ron now prepares for the World Championships in China in November and should do pretty well - right now, he can memorize the order of a deck of cards in just over a minute.

For more on Ron and his techniques, check out his website.

Before you go to bed Saturday, don't forget to "Spring Forward" (unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, etc.). Otherwise, you'll be late for church Sunday morning.

happy Thursday:)

i have no video, no pictures, nothing clever to put here right now.

Eric has the day off.  his little girl is having a procedure done at the hospital, and he and his wife Julie are there now.  it's nothing super serious, but when it's your little girl, it's the most important thing in the world.  so please say some prayers for Liv.

thanks for your support, love, and prayers.  thank you for caring.  thanks for loving God with us.

talk to you in a few minutes;-)

The band Chasen joined us this morning performing a couple of songs off their new album "That Was Then, This Is Now", including their song "On and On" (click to listen).  The guys in Chasen were great sports - even agreeing to record a video for this week's "Jars of Clay Rewind" contest on K-LOVE.  Not sure if their version of "Flood" is eligible to win, but they sure had fun!

How cool is this - the world's first amusement park of it's kind - 25 acres of fun for children and adults with special needs ... Morgan's Wonderland in San Antonio, Texas!  The park not only includes rides, but a water play area, a sensory village - even wheelchair swings.

Haiti - "A Call To Fasting & Prayer" from anthony gehin on Vimeo.

We are so moved and inspired by the people of Haiti, who recently took 3 days to fast and pray. As we approach Easter, you may be giving up something up for Lent, or maybe just joining us in a partial fast for the month of March ... all in an attempt to get our hearts really ready for Easter Sunday. Not so much about what we'll wear on Easter or easter eggs and candy, but instead yearning to fully wrap our brains and hearts around the meaning of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection.
