Have you seen the TV spots for the Foundation For A Better Life?
I can certainly identify with that worker’s FIRST emotion. I wonder if I would follow his second emotion. How about you? I HIGHLY recommend that you visit the site and see all of their spots and the other encouraging posts that they have online. BTW, I like to know WHO I am actually endorsing before I write such a post as this. The Wikipedia article for the foundation (here) says, “it [the Foundation] is entirely funded by billionaire Philip Anschutz.” So, I checked the article for Mr. Anschutz (here) and found that he “has been an active patron of a number of religious and conservative causes” (here). The following list is only some of the causes listed on the Wikipedia article:
Although some people. who are more aligned with the Democratic Party, may think that Mr. Anschutz represents an opposing viewpoint (due to his political affiliations), I believe that he & the Foundation represent CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES. So, for my part, I endorse the work of the foundation – regardless of political parties! Social Media: Although the Foundation has a Twitter accoun (@valuescom), it appears to be just an auto feed from their Facebook page (FBLife). You may want to follow them there. The Presentation Secrets of Steve JobsIf you have ever seen a video of Steve Jobs presenting a new product (iPhone or MacBook Air, etc), you know how dynamic his presentations are! The video below describes some of the key ways that Jobs is able to develop such excitement among the “fanboys” at Apple – and anyone else who hears him. (Thanks to Jason Fitzpatrick and the Lifehacker website for pointing us to this video. And thanks to BNet.com for producing the video.) Here are some of the major points in the video:
Take a look… Can you use some of these techniques in your ministry? I sure can. I plan to try some of them the next time I am up to speak! Someone may say, “I just trust the Holy Spirit to lead me.” And I would NEVER dismiss such an approach. However, He (the Holy Spirit) is the One who “walks beside us.” WE must also walk. He will enable us and bring things to our memory (Jn. 14:26) but we must have learned them before He can remind us. He will always HELP but I want to do the best that I can as well. What about you? Your comments are always welcome…. Updated Jan 17, 2010: You can check out my implementation of this technique here: http://chiefshepherd.com/2010/01/one-word-bible-study/ I posted a humorous article about this over on my Bishop of Technology site here: http://raywaldo.com/2009/10/do-real-men-twitter/ Here is a funny video illustrating the problem: |
