Recalibration coming.  5 growth drivers identified.  "Start Small, End Big" (Mt. 13:31-32). Ans. to "anti-clumping question" given.  Things are coming fast.

Wow, to my amazement God started answering significant prayers already.  I was thinking this would take some time.  Exciting to get good direction about community life, youth, outreach, boutique church concepts and more.

It's official.  I'm going one on one with Jesus for the next 40 days...seeking His face, seeking His presence, seeking His counsel and just plain getting close to Him in a concentrated way.  I'm excited.  Day 1 was yesterday and had a fantastic time experiencing his manifest presence...crying out to him, unburdening my heart and getting clarity on my strength zones.  "Hear my cry O Lord, attend unto my prayer. (Ps 61:1)."

Yes...of The Daily Show fame.  He put a huge hit on Jim Cramer recently, taking Jim to task for misleading viewers on financial matters on Jim's Fast Money show.  Jon is the grand master of sniffing out hypocrisy and double standards, and this interview rose to the standard of fighting injustice and sticking up for the little guy.  It's really good stuff.  View ABC news composite of the interview here.

Compliments of Google, we now can do background checks in a whole new way!

A friend advertised on Craigslist for a housekeeper.

Three interesting resumes came to the top. She googled each person's name.

The first search turned up a MySpace page. There was a picture of the applicant, drinking beer from a funnel. Under hobbies, the first entry was, "binge drinking."

The second search turned up a personal blog (a good one, actually). The most recent entry said something like, "I am applying for some menial jobs that are below me, and I'm annoyed by it. I'll certainly quit the minute I sell a few paintings."

And the third? There were only six matches, and the sixth was from the local police department, indicating that the applicant had been arrested for shoplifting two years earlier.

Three for three.

Google never forgets.

Of course, you don't have to be a drunk, a thief or a bitter failure for this to backfire. Everything you do now ends up in your permanent record. The best plan is to overload Google with a long tail of good stuff and to always act as if you're on Candid Camera, because you are.
