Interviewing my favorite undertaker: Caleb Wilde
I’ve appreciated Caleb Wilde’s blog for quite a while now. It could be my own experience with grief, suffering, and the dying process that makes Caleb’s sentiments on death and unique perspective a kind of solace to me.
If death and dying has touched your world, I think you’ll feel the same way about his blog. If it hasn’t, at some point it will. That’s just the facts.
Speaking from experience, I suggest purposefully familiarizing yourself with the inevitable issues of mortality (your own and your loved ones’) before they arrive without warning and manage to capsize your world, crush your faith, or in some other way batter you. And for purposes of minister and soul care it’s quite helpful too.
This is part one of our chat. Check back this week for part 2.

Give some, get some (my Birthday giveaway treat)
I will resume blog posts at the end of next week. Until then, remember…
There’s just 1 week left in the Birthday giveaway.
This year I’m giving to the charity Hello Somebody (go ahead check them out).
I will giveaway a Hello-Somebody watch in 7 days. To be eligible comment on any post on this blog before February 23 (so that means 23 eligible days, if you’re keeping track). Somebody will be chosen at random, and boom! poor people will get a cow, or clean water, or something they need. And IF wearing a ginormous watch isn’t your thing, I’ll have it shipped to the person of your choice.
(I also recommend that when you look at your new watch you pray for them, and thank God for the luxury you live in. Sounds like a beneficial spiritual practice to me anyway. That’s my plan, and I hope you join me.)
Tweet about this post, and you get to choose your color of watch too. (Tweet with the hash tag #Bday so I can find you.) The more times you comment or tweet, the better your chances get.
If you give to Hello-Somebody this month, before Feb 23, you get special honors here at the blog.
Have a great day, and count your blessings, one-by-one!

What a Woman is Worth with Tamara Lunardo
Tamara Lunardo has only been blogging for a couple of years, but thanks to her openness on some touchy (and important) topics, her audience has grown rapidly. Sometimes Tamara uses salty language or speaks about the realities of life…and sex, and it turns out Christians have a huge fascination with that sort of thing. Go figure!
Enjoy a snapshot of our time together, were we discuss her community project through Civitas Press called What a Woman is Worth. Through a collection of essays, this book (due out in a few months) confronts disparaging views of women and affirms the female gender to do whatever God has uniquely gifted them to do. You go, girl! Be assured this video is all very PG, honest.
16 other videos interviews are at the YouTube channel (you can subscribe to the channel and never miss out on the latest enlightening chat).

Rolf Potts leaves baggage behind
By way of a recap, I’m suspending my blogging for a while, but I’m still going to post a few more interviews. I hope you enjoy them.
The bio of Rolf Potts reads like a who’s-who of celebrated travel writers. His NO BAGGAGE Challenge last year highlighted the idea that travel can be much simpler than we tend to think. He trekked over 30,000 miles without a single bag to weigh him down.
The same mentality can be helpful in life too, according to Rolf. Enjoy watching this short chat we had, (and subscribe to the youtube channel for more great stuff).
Besides his website that contains some great articles, blog posts, and case studies in vagabonding–here are 2 of Rolf’s book that make great reading:

The Human Profile (10 questions)
This is a reflective month for me. I’m going to enter my 4th decade. So, I’ve decided to do things at the blog differently for the next few weeks. For one, I’m going to suspend blogging until I get enough responses to the questions below which belong to a greater project.
Any comments left here before February 23rd, entitle you a chance for my 3rd annual Birthday gift giveaway. I enjoy giving presents on my birthday, just like hobbits do. It will be both a gift to you and to the charity Hello-Somebody. Please consider giving this month and support this charity. Thank you for visiting.
(I will also release 3 more video interviews this month on my youtube channel.)

What are you doing?
If you can’t be wise or insightful, at least be amusing. But not at the expense of someone else.
