WAD
Today, I started a new project. Every year, we always do a "Night of Worship" CD, but this year I thought it would be good to do a video as well. So, today I started compiling all of the video footage from this year's event. I'll let you know when it's finished. More than likely, rather than making DVDs, I'll just put it either on the blog or the website as a download. I'll start working on editing the CD tomorrow.
Now to WAD. What's WAD you ask? World Aids Day. It was last Friday, so I'm a little behind the eight ball. Better late than never, right? Last week I had the privilege of viewing a DVD interview between Willow Creek Community Church's pastor Bill Hybels & U2's front man Bono. I gotta tell ya, it's really refreshing & completely inspiring to witness a "rock star" (Bono's own words) speak & act with intelligence & heart-felt conviction. The guy has done his research & for all intents & purposes is putting his money & fame where his mouth is.
I don't know if you've heard about the "Red" campaign? Campaign may not be the right word, but essentially it is an initiative to raise global awareness & funds to help eradicate the Aids pandemic. You may have seen the products in your local Wal-mart, Target, etc... One such example is the "Red" ipod. A percentage of each purchase goes towards helping the HIV/AIDS victims in Africa. Click on the link below to be schooled.
I know you've heard the Aids cry from me before. At the moment, I don't hear God saying...go to Africa, or...adopt a child with Aids. However, I believe that we can & should all do something. There's really no excuse for being passive on this issue.
Remember...
"Love thy neighbor"!

A DOWNLOAD would be WONDERFUL!!!!
(I said a DVD originally. I thought a download would be a DVD because they're both videos, right? Then I figured out I don't know what I'm talking about, as usual. Isn't it amazing that I can even work an iPod, considering..?!
Hey, keep listening to God because I suspect we'll both go to Africa someday. I'm not going without you, though.
Sorry I messed up your blog. ;)
I'd rather have a DVD since downloading video on this archaic machine of mine is practically impossible even for the most patient person on the globe! Greg has had dreams about you, Brit and him going to Africa. (admittedly a scary thought...) Don't discount what you could be blessed with!
