That’s right, my pal Scot’s follow up album to Simple Worship has finally arrived. Click here to buy Simple Worship 2 (or here to get 1 + 2 as a bundle!). We’ll be having a CD release party tonight at Coffee Grounds from 7-8:30pm. There’ll be live music, conversation and, of course, awesome coffee.

If you’re in the Terre Haute area be sure to stop by!

Do you have a “ride or die”?

badboys

This post by Marvin Williams made me sit back and take stock in my friends. Marvin talks about having a Ride or Die. What’s a Ride or Die?

A “ride or die” is someone in your life who will be there with you through thick and thin. They will do what they need to do to help you make it through difficult times.

Marvin then lists out the traits of a Ride or Die:

1. Pledge absolute allegiance to you, even if it means death
2. Tell you the truth about your life and decisions 
3. Love you when you have nothing else to give

You’ll have to check out the rest of Marvin’s post for the full list.

I’m so lucky to say that my Ride or Die list is probably 10 or so deep. I hope those 10 or so know that they can count me as a Ride or Die, too. In eXchange we call them our 3 a.m. friends. They’re those friends that, if a tragedy happened to you at 3 a.m., they’d be on your doorstep in 30 minutes.

So, here’s the exercise.

Stop what you’re doing. In 30 seconds, take stock of your Ride or Die’s.

Now, call them, email them, or go see them, and tell them thanks for being your Ride or Die. And tell then you’re there for them, too.

Fess up… how many Ride or Die’s you got? And what traits might you add to the list?

Justin, Summer, Clayton and Mattix. Welcome to the crazy that is Maryland Community Church.

Let’s light this candle.

I want to link to your blog

It’s about time I update my blogroll, so consider this an open call for a link to your blog.

If you link to me, post a comment with a link to your blog. I’ve got a rotating thing going on right now but, depending on how many links I have to update, I’ll probably expand that.

Either way, post a link to your blog so I can update my blogroll. Let’s go!

I want to run an ad for your blog

You’ll notice we’ve got a new design here at shawnw.org and, to celebrate, I want to run an ad for your blog. For free.

Constraints? The ad banner must be 125×125 pixels and no more than 15K in size.

Once you’ve designed your ad, post it in some webspace (use something like tinypic.com if you must), then send me an email using this link with a link to your ad image and where you’d like the ad to link to (probably just your blog address).

I have no intention of making any money from these ads (obviously, since I’m doing this for free) but, what’s more, I never intend on showing paid ads.

I’ll run the first batch of ads for awhile and will rotate them out in the near future, depending on how many submissions I get.

If anything, I want my ad space to help promote the blog community that I’m a part of. If you’re just some random visitor looking for a freebie, look elsewhere. Obviously, I reserve the right to deny ads that don’t quite fit in here.

I think that’s it.

What are you waiting for? Let’s do this!
