I’m not cool

For all those who remember the “Un-Lame my iPod” facebook group I had about a year ago, you know that I’m not cool when it comes to music or pop culture.  However, through another blog I found NoiseTrade. It is a cool new site (I assume will grow) that allows you to buy music at any price or get it for free if you send an email to 3 friends.

Along with that, there is an ad at the bottom of the page for a year long subscription to Paste (apparently a cool music, movie, culture magazine) that you can order for whatever price you want ($1 minimum).  So, I ordered it for the heck of it… I mean, it was a buck… It also comes with a monthly sampler CD, so hopefully after this year my iPod will be a little less lame.

Adoption

I was going through the 300+ blog posts that had accumulated in my google reader over the past 4 days and found a link to a great resource for churches looking to start adoption funds.  How amazing would it be if the church took seriously its call to care for widows and orphans?

Adoption lies in the future for Jennifer and I. The who, what, when, where, questions still lie unanswered, but the reality is already in our hearts. As the website above points out, money is one of the hardest challenges to overcome with adoption. While money is a big challenge, it is also a strong and powerful reminder to me of the gospel.  See, the price that Jennifer will have to pay in order to become the father and mother of one who is father and motherless will be thousands of dollars. When I think of this great financial cost I am always reminded that Jennifer and I were adopted by God at the greatest of expenses… the very life of his son (Gal 4:3-7).

Church… adoption beats in the heart of the gospel. Let us take seriously the call to care for the father and motherless. Let us give ourselves and our money to make the grace of God in adoption known to the world.
