Good-bye Alice!

Alice was my very first car.  I bought her for $7,000 12 years ago before I moved to Nashville.

Today we sold her for $300.  Seems like she should have been more valuable than that given the number of years we spent together and the number of miles we logged.  Oh well, she went off to be the first car for another teenager.

Anyone have a guess which famous TV “Alice” I named her after?

It's Community Group Time!

Tomorrow at Cross Point Nashville you’ll have the opportunity to sign up for a small group.  If you have never been a part of a community group, I encourage you to give it a try.  I know that the idea of a small group of people meeting in someone’s home can be a little intimidating, especially if you haven’t been around here that long, but I promise if you will give it a try you’ll find a group of people who are just as eager to create friendships and grow in their faith together.  There will be approximately 20 groups featured in the lobby tomorrow.  Make time to stop, talk to some of the leaders and sign up!

And Cross Point Dickson, your group fair is coming up next Sunday.  If you are still interested in leading a group, be sure to email Chad at chad@crosspoint.tv

Guest Blogging on WithoutWax.tv

I’ve had the privilege to guest blog on Pete Wilson’s site today.  I’ve opened the can of worms on women in church leadership.  Click here to check it out and join the discussion!

 

Q Day 1

My head is full and it’s only day 1!

There is so much to talk about, but I’m not sure where to begin.  The beauty is that I’m connecting with a bunch of great bloggers who are blogging live from Q.  Here are a few blogs that you should check out to learn more about our experience – it’s worth it!

I don't have anything to do today…

Well, not really, but I don’t have a jam-packed, over-committed schedule today.  In fact the two things that were scheduled – my 11 mile run and my husband’s softball games* – are not happening because of the rain.  This leaves me with an open day.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve got a ”to do” list a mile long and laundry and a dirty house that are screaming for attention, but rarely do I have a day where there is not some demand that is scheduled and begging for my time and attention. 

So, now I get to choose my day, I get to choose the things I want to do rather than the things I have to do.  Where do I start?

*For those of you who play softball with Merlyn, I’m making the assumption that you can’t play in a pond, but I don’t know if they have officially cancelled the games yet.

Search for support

There is a cool website called GoodSearch that makes donations to non-profit organizations for on-line searches and shopping.  I have been using this sight for nearly a year and directing my donations to Refined Inc., the non-profit company that I co-founded that is designed to equip church leaders with tools and resources to enhance and support their ministry.  Would you consider using GoodSearch as your main search engine (instead of Google), as well as for your on-line shopping?  It’s really simply to use and the donations add up quickly! 

 Here’s how it works:

  • Go to GoodSearch.com
  • In the ‘Who Do You Search For’ box, enter Refined, Nashville, TN
  • On this page you can also choose the option to add GoodSearch to your toolbar and/or make it your home page.  I’ve put it in my toolbar so that any time I search it’s right there and is pre-set to direct donations to Refined.  (Please note, every couple of months my charity box clears out and I have to reenter Refined.)
  • Also on this page, you can click the tab for shopping.  Most of your favorite on-line retailers are here including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Overstock.com, Ebay and more.  I’ve already booked flights and hotels and received donations for Refined!  And I promise, it’s not complicated at all – you just have to go to the retailer through the GoodSearch site to get the donation (just make sure Refined is in your charity box).

Thanks for considering it!  Every little bit helps.
