The quite talented David Leininger has finished the design of my new shirts.

Your mission comes in four parts:

1: Pre-Order the shirt (here at the store)

2: Go read, study, and fall in love with Psalm 29. UPDATE: Use the Hebrew Numbered Psalm 29 (in Greek Numbered Translations, like Douay-Rheims, use Psalm 28)

3: Wear the shirt into the world and proclaim the Glory of God.

4: Share a video or mp3 with me (email murdaugh [AT] gmail [DOT] com) with your own reflection on Psalm 29 and what the word “Glory” means to you. A panel of my dearest friends will decide which is best and the winner will receive a free house concert in their home. I’d love to hear from people all over the world, but the concert is going to be limited to the lower 48 US States and Eastern Canada (Ontario and Provinces East). (You have until November 1st to complete the assignment)

**** Common Question: ****
“Do I have to buy a shirt to do this?”

**** Answer: ****
NO! Buy a shirt if you like it, wear it in the video if you like it, but don’t let not having a shirt stop you from entering!

It seems that I’m it! Maybe I’m being called out because I haven’t had much of a real post lately. Anyway, thanks Sean! (http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net)

Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

I think I’ll probably push the envelope of random on this because I tend to wear everything right on my sleeve, so here’s a shot at it.

Things:

1. The first song I ever remember being in love with was “Freeze Frame” by the J. Geils Band. I was three.
2. I’m scared to death of picking up the phone to call someone. Especially if it’s someone I’ve never spoken to before.
3. I could survive on popcorn. But it has to be real popcorn with real butter. Not microwave popcorn with butter-like.
4. I can’t stand watching professional team sports; especially not on T.V.
5. The first time my wife remembers meeting me, I said “hello” and she replied “do I know you?” This was the third time we had met.
6. I’ve been serving in youth-ministry-related capacities for eight years now, but I only attended one youth meeting during my entire high school career.
