Another donation this morning put me at the 85% mark of my personal fundraising goal for my Swaziland trip!
updated 2/27/2012
I’m still looking for a few more design-related jobs that can help me get to 100% and beyond (extra funds will be used for travel/food/etc expenses on the trip).
Visit my Swaziland page for more information on my trip and details about how I can help YOU to help ME get to Swaziland!
Another gift this afternoon put me at 63% of my fundraising goal ($3,000) for my October trip to Swaziland, Africa!
I have been humbled and overwhelmed at each gift and am continually thankful for the way the Lord continues to provide for this trip through some graphic-related jobs AND other gifts from friends and family!
If you haven’t heard, I need to raise $3,000 for a mission trip to Swaziland, Africa that I will be joining my District Team on in October. While we are there, we will be providing a Pastor’s Conference plus doing work at the college and visiting local churches and outreach points.
I haven’t been out of the country since my Haiti trip in 2007 and am truly looking forward to this opportunity to serve the Lord and His Church on this trip!
While in “fundraising mode”, any design-related work I’m able to do right now is going directly toward my fundraising goal. If you, or someone you know, needs a logo, flyer, postcard, business card, etc. designed – please consider me!
I’ve just finished a few projects in the last couple of days that I’m excited about and thrilled to have had a part in creating!

I’ve been a fan of YouTubers Rhett & Link for a long time. These are the guys behind a more than a couple genius, viral videos (Chuck Testa, Dope Zebra) Just today, however, I found out that they had some videos I had not yet seen. I knew the guys were Christians and was very glad to show off their YouTube videos often because of their family-friendly nature. What I didn’t know, was that they released a series of videos with the folks at JellyTelly.com under the guise of “The Fabulous Bentley Brothers”. The videos consist of an original song explaining some of the highlights of a specific book of the Bible. I was only able to find 8 of them, so far, on YouTube – I’m hoping to get my hands on as many as they have completed eventually!
If you have small children, I think you’re going to want to add these to your ‘favorites’ as soon as possible –

Our two children being introduced to their first Bentley Brothers video just this afternoon:
Nathan Barnatt – one of my favorite YouTubers was featured as a TED Talk presenter in Phoenix late last year. In his talk, he gives some great background on why exactly it is he does what he does – at least why he does his crazy dance moves in public places –
The music video he is referring to in his TED Talk –
I’ve been thinking a lot about quotes lately. They show up in my life nearly every single day. I read them, I post them, I even look for them as illustrations and as point-makers.
But occasionally, I have trouble finding “that quote” – the one that undoubtedly adds the verification and/or exclamation point to whatever it is I’m trying to say.
I’m sure I’m not alone, that’s why I’ve decided to help us all out and list some helpful quotes here for your copying-and-pasting pleasure.
“This is by far, one of those books that you read and when you’re finished reading it you realize that you’ve read quite a book.”
-Stevan Sheets
“The thematic elements and cinematography of this film are the kind that leave a lasting impression on the viewer and invoke feelings that cannot be adequately described without a thesaurus.”
-Stevan Sheets
“It happens this same way every single time – no matter the circumstances, it is what it is.”
-Stevan Sheets
“The day has finally come or will soon be at hand (according to how you look at the situation) where this has never been more real and more serious.”
-Stevan Sheets
I think that about covers it. Are there other multi-use quotes I can add to my list? What quote could you have used in a pinch at one time or another? Leave a comment!
