Dear Future Wife,

I know I haven’t got my act totally together and found you yet…so for that I am sorry. But hey you haven’t done a great job at it either. What that’s my job? Blah, blah, blah! Anyways just wanted to write to say Happy Valentines Day…or something like that. I’d probably cook you a real nice candlelit dinner today but you’ll have to wait on that. Seriously stop wasting time! If you are spending this Valentines Day with some other guy…I hope it sucks! I mean if you are going to marry me whoever you are with now is a major clown…dump him! Hope to see you sooner rather than later…the earth needs me to repopulate.

XOXO,
Chris

12 years ago today my mom went to be with the Lord…you never stop missing someone like her…

Total revenue from U.S. music sales and licensing plunged to $6.3 billion in 2009, according to Forrester Research. In 1999, that revenue figure topped $14.6 billion…ouch!

So reading through the 31 books of Proverbs in January is now over and I am onto something new. One of my “New Year’s Resolutions” if you want to call it that, is to read the New Testament of the Bible in 3 different translations this year. The New Testament has 27 books, 260 chapters, and 7,959 verses in it. I plan on reading the NIV(New International Version), NLT(New Living Translation), and ESV(English Standard Version). Reading 3 chapters a day should take me about 3 months to finish each translation which means I should be done by the end of October. Read along if you’d like. If you need a Bible to read let me know!

Proverbs 31:10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

Pete Wilson released a video promo for his new book Plan B: What Do You Do When God Doesn’t Show Up the Way You Thought He Would? I am super pumped for this book for two reasons. 1-I need the book. 2-I have a lot of friends that need the book. Check it out!

I listen to messages from Cross Point Church because this guy gets it. And this guy goes there and writes funny books. More dudes in the church like these two please and thank you!

In case you haven’t heard, Haiti was hit by a 7.0 earthquake earlier this week. Over 100,000 people are feared dead and most people don’t have the food, services, and equipment they need. Friends and family from inside and outside the country aren’t able to get ahold of loved ones with cell phone service being down across the country. In watching the news I’ve seen story after story on how social networking, aka facebook, twitter, and skype have helped greatly in communicating to others during this huge devastation.

The Hands and Feet Project is one that is benefiting from the use of facebook. Mark Stuart, lead singer of the Grammy-winning band Audio Adrenaline and his parents started an orphanage in Haiti in 2004. After this earthquake they have taken in more newly orphaned children. With phone service down they have only been able to communicate via facebook and Mark has done interviews on CNN via skype. Kinda crazy how social networking can be used.
