1) The Evangelism Linebacker - oldy, but a goody.
2) A Book That Will Change How You Look at Creativity (if you let it (it did for me))
3) Do Authors Need Blogs? (Do marathon runners need to train?)
4) The Fringe Opening Credits Done In the Style of Firefly A mash-up of two fantastic TV shows.
It's Friday! Time for the weekend, time to rest, right? WRONG.

Friday's Gracenotes
1) Being Less Biblical and More Like the Bible - Donald Miller makes a point differentiating between being biblical and being like the Bible. When I first began to read it, my impression was that he's splitting hairs, here, but as I continued to read I found myself agreeing wholeheartedly with his sentiments. I mean, if you wanted to approach the dating life "biblically" then chuck a male goose at Judges 21, specifically verses 20-23.
2) Etta James sings I'll Fly Away. This makes me happy and sad, reminding me of old-fashioned hymn sings at the church I grew up in and at family reunions.
3) Wooden Heart by Listener. Learned about this from StuffChristiansLike. At first, I thought it was kind of weird. As it goes on though, it starts to make sense and I think it's pretty great.
4) Elizabeth South. So, it turns out I went to the same church as this lady for a bit but was too shy to introduce myself. Now we're friends on Facebook and she has a couple CDs out! Her style kind of reminds me of Nichole Nordeman - I think you'll like her, too.
5) Alistair Begg. This bloke from Scotland preaches at Parkside Church near Cleveland, Ohio. Personally, I just like the accent, however he also speaks sound theology with the love of Christ. There's a podcast available as well as the full audio from his sermons. It's definitely worth a listen.

Y'all know what day it is.
Yup!
1) THE EARTHQUAKE - I didn't feel it. Apparently I was driving home from my physical when it happened. I've been through two hurricanes, I've walked on lava, I've been in some crazy snowfall, hail, strong winds, but I've never seen a tornado and I've never experienced an earthquake. Le sigh. I am thankful for what I have experienced, but to think this rarest of occurrences (for east coasters, you enviable west coasters) was literally occurring right under my nose (and the rest of my body for that matter) and I didn't even realize it is just...meh. >:-/
2) IT'S BEEN A CRAZY WEEK - in addition to the physical and what it portends, I need a place to live between now and whenever shipping out would occur. I've engaged in a flurry of activity for that but thankfully, everything seems to be coming together by the efforts of my future roommate.
3) GLENN MILLER IS THE MAN. This is my primary ringtone. Buy it on iTunes - you'll be glad you did.
4)Before the following became a video, it was a game - and then another game - you can see the concept brilliantly illustrated in the video below; and both games are immensely fun and challenging.

Friday's Notes - See Sharp or Be Flat
Oh, Friday. You are the awkward child, always out of place, I, never knowing what to do with you.
But that's about to change...
In the meantime, Friday, let's share with the world some interesting things of note:
1) Donald Miller - well gosh... He had some really great posts up about relationships then goes and takes them down because some folks were offended. Anyway, he has a good blog going - check it out.
2) Derek Sivers - just discovered this guy through a tweet from Dave Ramsey (@daveramsey). Apparently he has a book out. This video excerpt shares a pretty good idea all could stand to follow. Sure, he's talking to business owners, but just imagine your life is a business, you're the owner, and everyone you interact with are your customers. Now watch the video again.
3) It seems as though the world is going to hell in a handbasket. For that, I'd like to share today's Truth For Life daily devotional - it speaks directly to the world at large and, I hope, directly to you: http://www.truthforlife.org/resources/daily-devotionals/8/12/
4) If you like good music and not spending money, check this out. If it just looks like something that's not your cup of tea, let today be an exception and just give it a shot. It's a nice blend of music from mellow, to jazzy, to rock, to orchestral. And it's FREE.
Next Friday, I hope to have the new weekly format in place...
