CompassionBloggers.com has launched.

Thanks to Ben Stewart (who built the entire site), Nancy Tyler (who wrote the great copy on the home page), Anne Jackson (who was a fount of great feedback/criticism/ideas/encouragement) and the small army at Compassion International who made sure I said and showed the right things the right ways. (Branding guidelines.  Gotta love ‘em.)

About two-thirds of the way through last night’s class, both the white angel and the little guy in the red suit, both hanging out together there on my shoulders like they do, came to an agreement.  They agreed that I should walk crawl out of the class. 

I should have read Traveling Mercies a while ago, it’s been on my reading list, I just never got around to it. Anyways, my wife has been a reading machine, and I had recently recommended Lamott, which she devoured in less then a week. She enjoyed it so I figured I should read it next.

Just got off the phone with Jerry from Compassion International‘s office in Colorado.  Jerry is working hard to help pastors talk about poverty in their churches and let Christians in churches know what they can do (with Compassion) about child poverty.  THis called ”church engagement.”
