Bathos is the Greek word for deeper. Jesus told Peter to throw his net deeper he did and caught an amazing amount of fish. This blog is an attempt to follow Jesus by going deeper (bathos).
Here is last month's most viewed post. I didn't anticipate it would garner that much interest but I certainly appreciate the good conversation from all those who got involved! I thank all who take the time to read my blog.
Also I wanted to remind you if you are next to a computer this afternoon to watch the live drilling of a water well by the folks at Charity:water. For all the information in case you can't find the post click HERE. This should be really interesting!
Blessings to all! Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and don't forget it's still not too late to contribute to give water and therefore give life to those who don't have access to clean water by clicking HERE. Spread the word!
This coming Tuesday September 7th at 4:30p.m. EST, as part of their September Campaign Charity:water is going to be streaming live the drilling of a water well in Moale, Central African Republic via Satellite. If your next to a computer you should really try and check this out! Watch the video below as Charity:water founder Scott Harrison explains.
If you want to help bring safe, clean, drinking water to people who need it check out my Charity:water campaign HERE to donate. Use the power of social media and let all your friends know about this. There are 36 days left on my campaign but you can always give by going to Charity:water's website. To those who have given thank you, we have raised $600! Let's keep it going!
Seth Godin is perhaps one of the most unique people I've never met. He's a creative thinker that has written a dozen books, his latest being Linchpin. The book came out January of this year and several months ago, for some reason, something lead me to buy the book. I wasn't disappointed!
Linchpin will make you mad, excited, and it will challenge you to go beyond your 'cog' ways. So what is a Linchpin? A 'cog'? "A Linchpin is an individual who can walk into chaos and create order, someone who can invent, connect, create, and make things happen." (p.8) A cog is someone who is controlled by their fears, who has to be told what to do, and listens to the resistance.
What to understand a bit more what Linchpin is about and become Indispensable? The people at Catalyst (an organization geared to help and empower Christian leaders) interviewed Seth about the book. Listen carefully to the videos below and then I highly recommend that you read Linchpin.
I believe that the principles in this book for the most part can lead you to do incredible things for Jesus!
Gotta love that huge tea cup!:-)
Let me know what you think about Seth Godin and his book?
Lastly don't forget their is still 37 days left in my Charity: Water campaign! I ask that you prayerfully consider giving to this incredible cause. Click HERE to donate and share with all your friends on Facebook or Twitter!
