Daily Mug Shot Giving mini Impacting BIG
o.k. so what's up with the @msgreen m&m .... it's a call to "give mini" for a big impact. Some call me silly, some just shake their head but I began yesterday to fill an empty mini m&m container with quarters for Haiti. I have used this method to save money before...for things "I wanted" but didn't have enough "will power" to save. I also used mini m&m tubes to welcome new monkey's to Moon Monkey Coffee Company. ~ MM can stand for Moon Monkey or M&M's.btw a mini m&m tube holds $20.00. So I began to do the math...$20. X 25 folks....$500.00
Anyway...so here's the m&m challenge...every shipment of Moon Monkey Coffee gifted and/or purchased in 2010 will come with a "mini M&M tube". The challenge will be for each person to fill it with quarters and return in the self-addressed stamped envelope to charity giving relief to #Haiti through the gift of fresh water in #Haiti everyday Water Missions Join me the "give mini" project.
The power of one person makes an impact!

Daily Mug Shot :: Newspring
Good Morning Monkey's ~
for a limited time only...I am the Daily Mug Shot!...but only because Nick Charalambous asked me to document the impact that Newspring Church in South Carolina & on the internet has had on my life over the last year. The view of one's self from an extended arm with a , flip camera facing in doesn't really do it justice...unless I'm considering running to the salon for bangs or a the nearest botox injection....
I'm a follower for the "Cause of Chirst" inspired by, and led over the last year by a group of amazing folks on a screen who I've never sat in a room with or ever shared a meal. Yet, their impact and dedication to reaching others & "making Jesus famous" really can not be measured this side of Heaven.
Never underestimate the power of 140 characters through a tweet, twitter ...that's how I landed in the web service as "givelovecoffee" interacting with folks from all other the world in a chatroom alongside a message given on a stage in South Carolina. WHAT...RELLY church online!
You bet'cha and don't knock it...til you see others come to Christ right before your eyes...:90 minutes of a life revealed, led and surrendered to Jesus one at a time "never gets old"
Impersonal, really, I beg your Southern pardon! Screens and keyborads, fingers dance, hearts open and pour out pain, victory and encouragement. The connnections don't end on Sunday...or Tuesday, they "just begin" their/there. The webservice is not for whimps! more conversation takes place, lifes are transformed and we are just beginning to know the impact of the efforts to share the Love of Christ online & off by one anothering.
So gather around the screen this Christmas invite others, turn it up, plug in & connect......and I promise I won't say "I told you so". Newspring
Merry Christmas
love

Lost/Found
Recently I discovered that I had lost my wedding ring. I know, that sounds horrible. How can you loose your wedding ring and not know about it? All I can say is I have 4 little kids, am in school full time and work 25 hours a week! I do things like that.I have misplaced my wedding ring many times before. I'll take it off to do dishes or for bedtime and haphazardly lay it somewhere - the dresser, bathroom sink, kitchen windowsill, the computer desk.Times before when I lost it I would just "keep my eye out" for it and it would usually appear within a few hours. When I realized it hadn't appeared in 3 days I began to be concerned. I played over the last time I remembered seeing it...Friday night when I showed it to our baby sitter's mom. Did I put it back on? Set it on the dresser? I really couldn't remember.Finally on Monday night the search turned official. I was determined to find my ring! Beginning casually ... I organized the computer desk. No luck. When I laid my 2 year old down I pulled out her toddler bed and prayed I didn't find it there ... I didn't.I pulled out the flashlight and looked under the stove and fridge ... I wasn't brave enough to venture into what I saw. I pulled apart our furniture ... I even cut a small hole in our couch and chair to pull loose items that were otherwise unreachable. I found game pieces, tinker toys, Runts, and a word search book, but no ring.In desperation I looked through my dirty clothes pile hoping it would fall out ... 6 cents did, but no ring. At the bottom of the pile was the jeans I wore that weekend. My mind full of doubt, I reached into the pocket ... and pulled out ... my ring. Safe all along, just waiting for me to pull it out and return it to its rightful home ... my left ring finger.We're all have lost things in our lives. Old relationships, dreams we have set aside, a courageous choice God asked us to make long ago, a New Years Resolution. How long will it need to be missing before our search turns into all out panic and for once we are willing to lay aside everything else until you can proclaim "The lost has been found?(Guest blog post by Abbie Mantor, a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies student at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky. http://www.abbiemantor.blogspot.com/)

Daily Mug Shot
I have always enjoyed classical literature. There is just something richer about a book written during the print era (before the radio, television, or internet). Back when the written word ruled, authors mastered the art of description and plot development.As great as these old novels are, I rarely have time to sit down and enjoy a good book. Casual reading falls victim to juggling kid schedules and laundry. While commuting to work last year I discovered the Classic Tales Podcast.
Created by the very talented BJ Harrison, the Classic Tales Podcast brings great short stories from the past to life – in a mobile format. Each Friday a new, unabridged story is available as well as full-length stories for purchase (such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Treasure Island). BJ doesn’t merely read the stories, he performs them. He brilliantly develops each character, bringing out their personalities and emotions.
Now as you are running errands, cleaning your house, or just relaxing you can allow the classics to “awaken your better self,” as BJ puts it. Take a listen and let me know what you think!
