Christians unite to deter Olympics sex traffickers

“As Christians prepare to welcome the athletes and spectators who will be coming to Vancouver and Whistler from across the globe to attend the 2010 Winter Olympics next February, there is one group of potential visitors that they will be working just as hard to keep out: those who sell children and women for sex.”

Interview with Christian 2010 Olympian, Trevor Marsicano

“I asked Trevor how his faith influences him as an athletic competitor. He said, “It helps me remember that I am competing for more than just a result or a medal. I am competing for God. People will always come and go. In the world of athletics, you will find you are liked and rewarded from people based off of your results. But, whether you perform great or poorly, God will never treat you any different. He will always unconditionally love you and support you.”

In Praise of Selflessness: Why the best leaders are servants

Justine — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:34:45 +0000

“Perhaps the best way to learn to wash the feet of others is to take the injunction literally. Eliot Swartz is co-founder of Two Chefs on a Roll, a 180-employee private-label food manufacturer in Carson, California. Every Monday evening for 10 years, Swartz traveled from his company to Torrance Memorial Medical Center. He wasn’t organizing a fundraising campaign or serving on the board of directors. He was helping out in the emergency room. “I did whatever they asked me to do,” says Swartz. “Held the hand of a mom whose child had been in a car accident. Changed sheets. Took people down to X-ray. Took labs where they needed to be.”

“Servant leadership isn’t about being a great boss; it’s about accepting that bossing and leading aren’t synonymous. There’s nothing like changing a few bedpans to bring that lesson home.”

VIDEO: The Fun Theory

Justine — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:39:53 +0000

So many times we as Americans are quick to speak of the many problems that exist in this country. However, inventors and innovators are people who see a problem and provide practical (and maybe even FUN!) solutions to those problems. This video is an inspiration in hopes that we all become problem solvers.

“We believe that the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better is by making it fun to do. We call it The Fun Theory.” -Volkswagen

Superbowl Family Spotlight-Brees Answers Critics

Superbowl Family Spotlight

“Playing Precisely, Brees Answers Critics”

“The picture at the end said what none of them could voice. There stood Brees, surrounded by hundreds of people, but paying attention to only one. He held his son and watched him paw at the confetti, and at that moment, Brees said he was cognizant of his life, how he got there and what he went through.

Brees said he tried to stay in that moment, to hold onto it. Right then, he cried tears of joy on Sunday, too.”

“Outer Office, Inner Life”-Religion in the Workplace

Justine — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:45:40 +0000

“In a country where the line defining the separation of church and state is well drawn—lawsuits over Christmas manger scenes aside—the separation of church and work is hardly defined at all,” Moll explains in his article titled, “Outer Office, Inner Life: From Chick-fil-A’s godly restaurants to Xerox’s ‘vision quest’ outings.” Read more of Moll’s article and review of the book Spirituality, Inc: Religion in the American Workplace at the link below:
