Genius marketing by Burger King once again in the form of Whopper Sacrifice (dot com).

The idea: be willing to delete 10 of your Facebook friends to receive a coupon for a FREE Whopper.

Totally did this without thinking twice. Hope you made the cut! :)

Here’s proof:

If anyone wants to volunteer to build this sweet laptop stand for me that would be terrific! I love stuff like this!

I am so impressed with this guy’s instructions on how to build such an impressive home-grown piece of furniture!

Detailed instructions here.

This one is mainly for those of us heavily involved in local church ministry. Maybe you’re on staff, maybe you’re on the leadership board, maybe you teach Sunday School at your church.

The question today is, “Would you attend your church if you didn’t HAVE to?”

If you weren’t involved in the leadership you are currently involved in, would you still attend? If someone else stepped up and took the position that you currently fill, would you attend somewhere else as soon as possible?

I hear about people attending church because “that’s where my family is”, but what if your family suddenly got moved to a new location because of a job?

Remember, these polls are completely anonymous.

Thanks for participating!


Caught this on Pastor Mark Wilson’s blog this morning…

Magician, Penn Gillette gives an incredible perspective (as an atheist) of an interaction he had with a Christian man after a show.



This would be a GREAT opener to a discussion on evangelism – “How much do you have to hate somebody not to proselytize?”, Gillette says.

RSS – (“Really Simple Syndication”) is a web-feed format that makes browsing multiple websites easier! I personally “subscribe” to more than 200 RSS-feeds from sites that I used to keep somewhat organized in my Bookmarks Folder. Through RSS I actually receive the updated web-content through my RSS-reader, “Google Reader”.

This has simplified my life in HUGE ways since I started using and RSS-reader a couple of years ago!

If you are NOT using an RSS-reader to stay up-to-date on multiple websites that you frequent, let me encourage you to give it a try! I hated being annoyed by visiting a favorite site only to see that it had NOT yet been updated or to visit a site after 2-weeks of not visiting it only to realize that I had dozens of posts to “catch up” on.

RSS to the rescue.

Consider signing up for Google Reader or Bloglines and start subscribing to your favorite sites’ RSS-feeds! Most sites have this logo somewhere and it usually points directly to their RSS feed. This is the universal logo for RSS. If you use Firefox as your browser, we have this same logo conveniently placed in our SEARCH-bar and it points us to the RSS-feed of the site that we’re currently visiting to make adding it to our subscription-list as simple as possible (another reason I love Firefox MUCH MORE than IE).

To subscribe to the feed here at stevansheets.com, I have conveniently placed a large RSS-icon link on the sidebar. Or you could just click here:

 Subscribe in a reader

Also, some people may be wary of signing up for yet another web-service to organize their subscriptions to websites. If this is your case, you can also receive e-mail updates to many sites through an e-mail-based RSS subscription service.
