That's a really cool idea. I think I'll bring it up to our group.

We have talked about several things, but we have hammered out one: an awareness and benefit concert in Cincinnati. Our local musician has several good contacts - she just recently stayed with Michael W. Smith and family - so she's going to get Leeland and Everyday Sunday to play music. I've contacted Love146 about a speaker for that night. And I'll get the short movie together to play on that night. We're planning around summer 2010.

We are also planning "mini-awareness nights" where we invite people to come to an apartment complex that our church planter guy lives at - it has a movie theater inside of it - where we show a movie and talk about human trafficking.

So, it's going pretty well.

But I love what I do.

'tis the season.

At my age, time passes so quickly, I can hardly keep up. Only a couple weeks until Advent. I almost missed taking care of that. Yikes!

I kept falling asleep durning the football game last night. Last I saw, Denver was whooping the Steeler's rear ends. Who was the famous football player that Denver used to have? I knew him but I forget now.

John Elway?

I was at the University of Dayton listening to Benjamin Skinner, who wrote A Crime So Monstrous (about human slavery), and it was amazing. Much better than watching the Broncos lose.

I'm off this whole week, which is great because I worked about 70 hours this past week with our Christmas production and preparing for Christmas services and everything.

So I'll be out. Not that I'm really in these days. But I really will be out.
