What if you had to do this every day?

We have no idea the seriousness of this issue. Thanks Spence. Click here if you want to donate to Charity Water.

That being said, I’ve got a post coming up in about a week that will allow you to make a direct impact on the world’s drinking water. Stay tuned…

Why do you read my blog?

I’m curious. Why do you read this blog? I know several of my friends read (both Real Life friends and Internet friends) because they’re my pals but I’d like to know specifics. Do you come here for the YouTube videos? Some of my tech banter? Other stuff?

I think this also leads to another question. What would you like to see here? I’m totally open and ready to mold and shape this Internet-facing extension of myself to better serve you, the reader. More tech howto’s? Less tech stuff? More humor? Total change to this or that?

Also, if you read my blog and I don’t link to you in my Blogroll, please be sure and leave a comment with a link to your blog so I can link to you. We’re only helping each other by doing so.

So, click here and fill me in on why you read shawnw.org and what you’d like to see shawnw.org become.

Obama is coming to town

Looks like Wendy and I will be seeing Obama at his town hall meeting tonight. The event starts at 8:15pm local time (EST). Watch my Flickr feed as I’ll immediately upload any shots I take with my phone there.

I don’t think it matters where you are along the political spectrum. When’s the last time a potential Presidential candidate visited your town and you had the chance to see them? For me, never.

Friday YouTube Worship 02

We’ve done it for a couple weeks now. Let’s see if we can make this a regular thing.

It is not a human right
To stare not fight
While broken nations dream
Open up our eyes, so blind
That we might find
The Mercy for the need

Singin Hey Now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey Now
As we hold to our confession
Yeah

It is not too far a cry
To much to try
To help the least of these
Politics will not decide
If we should rise
And be your hands and feet

Singing Hey Now
Fill our hearts with your compassion
Hey Now
As we hold to our confession

Woah-oh-oh,
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
Yeah, yeah

Higher than a circumstance
Your promise stands
Your love for all to see
Higher than protest line and dollar signs
Your love is all we need

Only you can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see
Erase complete the sinners past
And set the captives free
Only you can take the widows cry
And cause her heart to sing
Be a father to the fatherless
Our savior and our king
We will be your hands, we will be your feet
We will run this race
On the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light

We will be your hands , we will be your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light (we’ll say/sing?)

We will run we will run
We will (run with the solution?) (2x)

We will be your hands we will be your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be your light
We will be your light
