This guy had help from his former teammates, but he said what really helped him out of substance abuse was God. Instead of constantly being stoned, Carbo now goes around speaking about Jesus, baseball, and the dangers of substance abuse. It’s amazing to see how God can change the hearts of all people, especially the ones “good” people see as sinners who will never change.

Check out The Nehemiah Band’s first music video made possible by Nine Finger Productions.

It’s definitely cool to see what one of our partners are up to. Hope you all enjoy the video as much as I did!

Saint’s QB, Drew Brees, provides some inspiration for a boy battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This boy has also served as an inspiration to Brees throughout the playoffs. Brees and the entire Saints team also desire to bring back hope to a city devastated by Katrina.

Thought this would be a good video to watch right before the Super Bowl starts. If you don’t have a team, maybe you’ll consider rooting for the Saints.

Enjoy the game….Go Saints!

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.

This is one of the most entertaining and humorous videos I’ve seen on TED.com.

This movie is based on the true story of Michael Oher, rookie left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. Oher grew up in a broken home, father was murdered when he was in high school and his mom is a crack cocaine addict. He attended eleven different schools during his first nine years as a student. The Tuohy family finally took Oher in and helped him out with his needs, especially with his education. With his grades up, he was able to play football and quickly became a high school standout that was highly recruited.

I look forward to watching this movie when it comes out.

Saw this video today in church. This is a great reminder that there are still many who have not heard the name of Jesus. It reiterates what is said in Matthew: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”

However, I think the verse after is even more important. “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Take the time to pray and answer the question – Where is God calling you?

Preemptive Love Coalition seeks to provide Arab and Kurdish children with the essential medical care that they need outside of Iraq.

I really like what Preemptive Love Coalition is seeking to do.  They are serving these children in a way that all people are called to do – out of love. We are called to love our neighbors and love our enemies because LOVE NEVER FAILS.

PLC is raising awareness and funds for these children by selling shoes called the Klash on their website.  However, if the Klash isn’t part of your style, they encourage you to still get involved in the cause by doing something from a car wash to being a representative on your campus.

This weekend I got a chance to go to Fresh 2009!  It was awesome seeing people coming to know God during this event.  The music was awesome!  The whole was about “crazy love” a message Francis Chan speaks about a crazy love we should have for God.  An introduction to his book is below.

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of The Tenderness Tour and is currently taking place now until October 17.

Richard Propes will travel, most likely for the last time, by wheelchair across the state of Indiana to raise support to end child abuse.

I don’t know a lot about the issue of child abuse, but I know it is something that plagues are society today.  What Richard is doing is amazing because he is doing what he can to solve this problem.  I really wish I was in the area to witness and hear what this guy has to say.

I wish Richard the best of luck and his tour! God Bless
