Cause Depot

Hey Friends! I wanted to let you know about a new blog launching. It's called Cause Depot. My mentor and former supervisor, Jim Toole is launching this along with his wife, Pati. I get to serve as the honorary seminarian!!!

Here's a brief description from Jim:

Pati and I for a long time have wanted to do more about global issues. We have wanted to create awareness as well as give more back. So we have created a web site, it is an e-retail store, conversation and portal to innovative ideas. It is a small way for us to enter into innovation surrounding global issues while being pastors. Our desire is to showcase stories and encourage ideas of innovation and enterprise that can benefit cause-related organizations. Sixty percent of the profits from the store will go back to these organizations. Please take a look and please enter into the conversation. We would love to have everyone’s views even if it gets spicy. We want to wrestle with the world we live in.

My contribution will be showcased next week!

spicy, like that crazy swamp tea he drinks at the lavender lounge? I will not discuss that topic with anyone.

Thanks for that contribution on the depot. I wish you would go on. The way it looks to me, there's a certain sort of anonymity involved in the Christian life: the kind for which Jesus tells people not to tell anyone about what he did, the kind that's subversive to the power structures by being powerless.
But thats obviously not the kind that you're speaking of in your entry. It's the kind that Jesus resisted when he went to Mary and Martha although his life was in danger. Its the kind that prays, "yet not my will but thine be done".
Can you please see if Jim will give a second part to your original post or maybe if you can just comment on your own post. I always love it when people do that. In fact I;m going to comment on your post using this right here.
