Thanks to W*USA
I had the pleasure of being a guest on W*USA TV last Thursday. Director Bill Rayment was once again a delight to work with, and Andrea Roane was as charming and engaging as ever. It's a good thing when news media report on religious life ... and not just when there's a scandal or tragedy. Thanks, W*USA!

A Big Weekend in the DC Area
Friends - I look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow (Friday 7 March) at the DC Christian Peace Witness for Iraq at noon.
Then tomorrow and Saturday will be our DC area "Everything Must Change" event. We have over 300 registered already, but if you'd like to come, there's still some room and you can register at the door. Check out the deepshift.org website for directions and other information.
Lots of good things cooking ... Hope to see you this weekend!

Music from the Road
Greetings Friends -
THIS SUNDAY: I am re-scheduled to appear on Faces of Faith on CNN at 7:45 am, EST, February 24. Many of you may have noticed I was bumped last weekend due to the sad story of the shootings at UNI in Illinois.
One of our key elements in the Everything Must Change tour is music. Musician/producer Tracy Howe and I wrote and recorded original music for the tour because we believe that what we sing forms us. If all of our songs say, "Jesus, hold me; Jesus, forgive me; Jesus, bless me," that does a great job of deepening our personal connection to Jesus on one level, but it can make us pretty self-centered. In the words of a friend of mine, we find ourselves congratulating God on what a great job God is doing at meeting our personal needs.
