I’m in Tulsa tonight for the third stop of this tour I’m on with Anita Renfroe and Mark Schultz. Now that lunch is over I only have four hours before sound check so let’s see if I can fit a blog post in between straightening my hair and finishing that pitcher of sweet tea. Being an artist is hard work, ya’ll.
Here’s the best of the net!

I Side With
I’m teaching my middle kids civics this election year. Scouring the internet for lesson plans and other helpful stuff, I stumbled onto this excellent site for grown-ups. Answer a series of questions designed to pinpoint your position on various issues and the site tells you which candidates (state and national) your views line up with most.
Sharing Faith
Ed Setzer and company released a new batch of research findings on the topic of evangelism. 80% of Christians in America believe they have a responsibility to share their beliefs about Jesus with others. 61% haven’t actually shared their faith though in the last 6 months. Some may be shocked and disappointed by these findings but, I guess, maybe because I live in the bible belt, I’m neither shocked nor disappointed. 39% have shared their faith with a non-Christian in the last six months? Wow. I didn’t think that many of us in this part of the country even knew a real live non-Christian. Maybe these numbers aren’t as bad as they seem, eh?

The “I side with” quiz was very informative. It really made me think about where I stand on some of the “lesser” publicized or debated issues. I’d read the one about the lies told in the first debate.

always some gems in these posts, something for everybody! As for those 10 questions, I’m sure my husband would agree to ask me those. But what he would do later on with anything I told him….. not so much. so maybe I’d just rather not be asked ๐
