OK, I know this is borderline, but I couldn’t help but laugh and I suspect Jesus has enough of a sense of humor to get a kick out of it, as well. (via Monkeys For Helping)

.:mood:. Getting There
.:itunes:. Comfortable by John Mayer
Whenever I teach, I get this backlog of email to respond to. So for most of yesterday and this morning I have been catching up. It’s not bad because I am almost done.
Then I realized two things I had been forgetting. I started doing the MySpace thing and I have a bunch of unresponded to mail over there. And I have a bunch of mail from my site which I always redirect to another folder.
Oh well.
For all you MySpace people out there, is there a way to have my MySpace mail messages forward to my regular mail or do I always have to go over there to check them?
Time to dive back in.

So a few weeks ago at Riverview I showed a video from the Free Hugs Campaign at Riverview for an illustration. Afterward, a college student came up to me and said this:
“Noel, when I was in 8th grade I came to church with my family and you walked up to me, recognized me, and gave me a hug. I was planning on committing suicide that day and decided not to. Your hug saved my life.”
She then broke down in tears. Amazing. It’s been on my brain for awhile and I just wanted to share.
That is the power of appropriate human touch. We all need it and I think sometimes touch is either completely inappropriate or its missing altogether.
Hug anyone?
Oh…here’s the video:
