So for those of you dressing up…..what/who are you dressing up as?
Rose and I have had 3 people back out last minute for taking over our lease. We would really appreciate your prayer that it would work out for someone to do so very soon.

- Have you heard of Foursquare? I’ll be the first to say that I don’t think it is all it is being cracked up to be, but here is a good post on why it just might be.

I use Gowalla which is the same thing as foursquare. I just know more people using gowalla then foursquare, and that is why I would not switch.
i disagree w/ the idea that it should be our “aim” is to convert people. jesus told us what our “aim” is: love the lord your God w/ all your heart, soul and mind …and Love others as you love yourself. ….in his commission of “go to all the world and preach the gospel”…he wasn’t saying, “try to convert” no, he was saying “proclaim what the Lord your God has done”…but simply doing this: there will be many who are compelled to his kingdom, as He can reach their hearts, and for those who are not …it’s not our place to push them or “try to convince them” or “get them to come to Christ under the their ‘own’ volition”…b/c then it’s not their own choice, it’s our trying to prove we’re right. live as the LIGHT in the earth and people won’t be able to resist HIM.
