Auto-Matically Crazy
Feb/27/2009 09:16 AM Filed in: Life Happens
I had a hard disk crash last week, which means I am
now hopelessly behind in Facebook notes. Yes, I want
to do the album cover, and my 15 "desert isle" CDs,
and my Musical Facts. Those are all cool. But I don't
have time to do those today.
However, these questions, given to me by fellow Nashbillian, JP, have been written up and ready to go for a week..since the day the hard disk crashed...so here you go....(ps: I added the question about wrecks, and today's dream car...) EF

Sermons on iTunes, the Blog, and Everywhere
Feb/10/2009 04:48 PM Filed in: Angels and
Pins
My amazing new laptop is allowing me to try out all
sorts of new things. Among them, podcasting.
We're pleased to announce that Northaven now has podcasts of our sermons at iTunes and up at the Northaven website.
Still working on the actual design so that it looks nice and beautiful on the Northaven site. But the podcast feed will basically replace the old "Sermons" page at the Northaven site. You can find that here.
It's also live on iTunes, at the iTunes store. So, if you've got an iPod and have been itching to get our sermons as iTunes podcast, knock yourself out by going here.
(If you've gone a non-iPod devise, or just listen to rss audio feeds some other way, you can "subscribe" at that first link I gave...)
The cool thing about an podcast feed, of course, is that you can import it to just about anywhere. So, I've put it here on the blog too. Just scroll down the righthand navigational window, till you find the box that says "Sermons."
You should be able to listen in there too, if like, without ever leaving this page.
Hope you enjoy all this. We'll announce this to the greater Northaven community sometime later this week, when we're done making the web-version look pretty.

Sixteen Random Things About Me
Feb/08/2009 08:17 PM Filed in: Life Happens
DMN Reporter , Jeffery Weiss wrote
this interesting story
that ran in this weekend's paper. It's all about the
phenomenon of "25 Random Things." It does seem to be
spreading like wildfire, as is Facebook itself. I can
tell you from my own non-scientific experience that
folks are joining Facebook right and left over these
past few months...a virtual (pun intended) explosion
of old friends and family.
So, in honor of Jeffery's story, I thought I'd repost my list of "things" to my blog. (For those on Facebook, you'll be seeing this for the second time)
I should self-disclose that when this game was forwarded to me, it was only sixteen things. Jeffery's story points out that somewhere along the way it jumped the shark to 25. Who knows how that happened. But I'm sticking with my sixteen....

More on Millard

The entry below is
reposted
from the Fuller Center website, and has more
information about Millard Fuller's death. Pay special
attention to the description of how Millard, one of
our most influential leaders, was buried: in a simple
box, with no grave marker.
Totally consistent with his own spiritual values.

Why Is Apology So Strange?
Feb/04/2009 06:09 PM Filed in: Angels and

"I screwed up."
No, I didn't really screw up. At least, not in any way that I believe I owe you all an apology.
It's an expression. It's something many of us say every day.
Learning to apologize is a key value of a mature adult human being. But to hear the screaming headlines in this morning's papers, you would think President Obama saying "I screwed up" was the most horrible admission a President could ever make.

Millard Fuller

I was visiting the hospital around lunchtime today,
when I got a Twitter that Habitat for Humanity
cofounder, Millard Fuller, had died. This news makes
me terribly sad, as I consider Millard a personal
hero and inspiration.
Like all of us, Millard had feet of clay. But his dreams and visions, his zest for helping the poor and less fortunate, are virtually unrivaled in our time. He is perhaps the most inspirational figure I have ever known, and I am driven to write about him today.
