The Lifehacker Post that Changed My Life

by Productivity & Time Management

Okay, the title might be a bit dramatic.  The post didn’t change my life.  But it did have a serious impact, albeit in a small way.

Think about this for a moment: How many times have you reached into your bag to grab your headphones, only to spend the next five minutes untangling them?  Frustrating!  It doesn’t matter if they’ve been in there 30 seconds or 30 days, it’s almost a guarantee that they will be in a knotted mess!  Sometimes, if I just need my ear buds to watch a quick YouTube clip or listen to a short soundbite, I’ll just give up and use them in their tangled state.

Well, everything changed a couple of months ago when I stumbled upon this post on Lifehacker. No little headphone-wrapping contraptions or pouches to buy or add to my already cluttered bag.  This headphone cord wrapping technique will save you from those frustrating untangling sessions and it’ll save you time in the process.

It rarely, if ever, fails me.

10 Fundraising Takeaways: $150,000 in 40 Days

by Church & Church Planting

If I were to give you a list of the “Top 10 Ways I’d Like to Spend My Summer,” fundraising would most likely not make that list. Nevertheless, this is where my wife and I find ourselves.

As we look forward to the long months to come, I have made it a point to seek out others who have had experiences with fundraising. Not only do they offer valuable advice, wisdom, and best practices, but they often share stories that are encouraging reminders of God’s faithfulness.  In an article from the Acts 29 website, Matthew Kruse does just this as he shares 10 key insights from his experience raising $150,000 in 40 days for Seven Mile Road.  This is a valuable read for church planters and others engaged in the fundraising process.  Check out the article HERE.
