Today’s shoutout goes to my newest employer, AT&T. I’ve been enjoying so much time learning all about the company, and what my new role is there that I have not had nearly enough time to devote to ATB. The good news: this new job looks like a great fit! (and I don’t even have to call people and ask for money!)

Next week, prayerfully, I will have some time to craft an actual shout-out. In fact, I’ve got several submissions waiting on me to write up. So this week, your job is to submit folks that you would like to see featured here on Shout-Out Friday. The more the merrier! Submit by clicking here!

See you Monday!

Last week I told you about Sherri (and lest you go off thinking that you know Sherri, that wasn’t her real name… that’s not how we roll. We’re not interested in skewering individuals. Just concepts and funny stories.)

We did finally end up scheduling an Continue reading “Inappropriate places to meet for financial support.”

I am a raging carnivore.

Before you get all technical on me and do the dietary equivalent of a Ray Comfort “evangelism cornering” (as I like to call it) where you convince me that because I once ate a Continue reading “Not getting the “Bring your Own Meat” Memo.”

Scroll to the bottom of this page, and check to make sure the picture of the author is a dude. I’ll wait.

Yep, sure enough, Ben Meredith is the author of Assume The Best. And for some reason I wrote that last sentence in the third person. Continue reading “Thankful Thursday: Women’s Conference.”

I’ve been doing shout-out friday for the last few months here at ATB, and I am convicted that I am becoming one of those people who say “we really believe in what you are doing!” and then never, ever give. As former missionaries, that line just rang hollow for us.

So, starting this week, when I recommend a person or group to give, I am actually going to be giving. It likely won’t be much, at least until the Lord sees fit to give us enough to make our ends meet, but I am done giving empty “shout-outs” that just serve to give the appearance of generosity without any of the actual sacrifice.

And if I’ve already shouted-out someone, I plan to make that right, too.

Now I just need to talk to my wife about the logistics. Nobody likes the guy giving behind his wife’s back.

See you tomorrow for this week’s shout-out!
