Have you picked up this month’s copy? http://ministrytodaymag.com/ It was fun to collaborate on this issue. All about communications.
In an effort to provide abused children with a safe way to reach out for help, a Spanish organization called the Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk Foundation, or ANAR for short, created an ad that displays a different message for adults and children at the same time.
A couple of weeks ago, I asked you for help planning our epic family road trip vacation. Thanks to everyone who pitched in!! Thorough, creative and insightful ideas filled up my inbox and now— we have a plan! Here’s a few route highlights we’re looking forward to on our trek through 12 states across more than 4,500 miles:
And, as promised, here’s a document with a list of all the ideas that were sent in.
Special thanks go to these guys:
(via my friend Tracy quoting Cory Booker) This quote reminds me how grateful I am for the people who saw the possibility in me.
Pass it on to a difficult person in your life—you just might change theirs.
Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend — not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses).

I’ve seen the original Our Road film 5x and counting. Each time, I experience something new. It’s a revealing piece of art. So grateful for the people of Granger Community Church. So grateful for this film. It’s inspiring and definitely “sticks with you.”
If you live in Michiana and are looking for a film party to attend—we’re screening 81. Next Wednesday 7PM.

In a couple of weeks, the Meyer family is jumping in a car and driving from Granger to the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas (where we’ll stay a week) and back home to Granger. That’s all we know. The rest of the details are yet to be figured out. That’s where you come in.
I’m looking for fun, creative, must-see, must-do activities, eateries and experiences along the route or at our destination. We is smarter than me every time and we’ve never made this trek before as a family. What recommendations do you have? What should we see? What should we do? Where should we eat? What should we experience? What do you know that I don’t know?
Doesn’t this sound fun? Wanna help? Drop me an email with your advice and wisdom. I’ll send thank you gifts to the first, most original, most comprehensive, etc. (We did this a few years ago. It was great fun.)
I’ll be sure to post our final plans for everyone to see the results. Thanks for playing…the fate of our road trip is in your hands.
