Please don't start another nonprofit.
About 8-10 times a year I get random calls from sincere 20-somethings asking me for advice about the non-profit organization they want to start. Usually these new, innovative ideas are cause-driven organizations that aim to help victims of human trafficking or women and children caught up in…

It’s alright to talk about ‘streets flowing with milk and honey,’ but God has commanded us to be concerned about the slums down here, and his children who can’t eat three square meals today. It’s alright to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day, God’s preacher must talk about the New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. This is what we have to do.
My thing is I don’t really watch basketball, so I don’t know who anybody is and when I match up against them, it’s just a regular player. I know the main players, like LeBron, Kobe and Wade, but all the extra ones I don’t know. Even if I did, I wouldn’t be afraid, we’re playing basketball.

Christmas Stuff 2011
Family and celebrating the Incarnation is great, but Christmas is really about getting new stuff, right? Here’s my haul from this year.
1. Areopress from my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. I’ve heard a lot about these over the past year, and I’ve been eager to test one out. I’m a french press devotee, but the promise of easier clean-up and better coffee caught my interest. I have to say the as-seen-on-TV packaging and ugly looks made me skeptical, but the results were fantastic. It’s my new default for my morning cup.
2. Kindle Keyboard from my Mom. I’ve downloaded a number of books, but so far I’ve used it exclusively to dig through by Instapaper backlog. After spending all day looking at backlit screens, it’s nice to give my eyes a break at the end of the day.
3. Sodastream from my mother and father-in-law. Leah and I have used this non-stop since we brought it home. The flavored syrups are pretty good, but the sparkling water is the killer feature for me.
4. Cable from Leah. We ditched cable a few years back, and we mostly love it, but I’ve really missed watching the Hawks and the NBA playoffs. I’ve probably watched more basketball in the past week than I have in the last year.
5. Bodum glasses from my soon-to-be-step-sister. The double-walled glass keeps the coffee hotter, but cool to the touch. Pretty fancy.
6. Caran D’ache pen from myself for being handsome.
