endorsement

Alrighty, I have two props to shout out for some products which I can endorse:

First, Cathy bought the new Jason Mraz CD and you must hear it. I am a fan to begin with, but this CD is awesome. Specifically, the third track is a duet with Colby Callait which tells the joys of being in love with your best friend. It reminds me of my relationship with Cathy and is a real treat.

Second, I am half-way through the book, "Three cups of tea", about a guy named Greg Mortensen who has built more than 50 schools in the Afghan-Pakistan border region. The most amazing thing is that he begins building them when he is living in his car and sells even the car and all his gear to finance the trip to build the first school. Although not a Christian, this guy models following Christ in the sense of "sell everything you own, give it to the poor and follow Me." It humbles me to read this man's story of philanthropy and reminds me that I don't have to wait until I am rich to pour myself out for others. It is also a good read, which helps.

Buy them both and I think you will greatly enjoy them!
