Saturday Smiles

13th March, 2010 by Rich Dixon No Comments

Two videos–same story, slightly different pictures.

This is proof that:

  • you don’t have to be handsome to be beautiful.
  • Opportunities for love and service appear when you least expect them.

A Reflection Of God

6th March, 2010 by Rich Dixon 2 Comments

A really cool video for God-lovers and dog-lovers everywhere. (from Wendy Francisco)

I hope I reflect God at least as much as my dog does–but probably not.

What’s Up With That?

TODAY-Olympic-Costumes-norway-curling_ss_fullSomeone put up a Facebook fan page for these pants worn by the Norwegian Olympic curling team. Currently the page has more than 480,000 fans.

Curling. Pants. Half-a-million fans.

The Relentless Grace fan page has 108 fans. I’m grateful for every one of them, but it does make me wonder about a few things.

Do I need to begin wearing crazy pants?

Should my feelings be bruised because curling pants attract 4500 times more fans than my book?

Can you do curling in a wheelchair?

This fun little video, called PIANO STAIRS, has no redeeming social value–except that it really does. Enjoy.

Nurture Your Relationships

13th February, 2010 by Rich Dixon No Comments

thing-called-loveSince it’s the weekend of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d share an interesting article about some proactive ways to nurture relationships. It’s called 7 Simple Steps to Appreciate Others.

I was especially struck by the notion of “practicing love.” I need to work at that.

A small side note: I’m honored to be the guest writer (Friday, 2/12/10) on a wonderful site called 300 Words A Day. I invite you to check out my article called words or Word  and consider making 300 Words a regular habit (right after you’ve read Bouncing Back, of course!)

Last week I announced that Relentless Grace is now available as an audio book.  The video below offers a sample of the audio narration of one chapter called Back To School.  I hope you enjoy the golden voice of my frend Jim Thurston.

Happy Saturday! I have a fun little video to share, guaranteed (money back if not satisfied!) to provoke a smile.

First, a bit of news

Relentless Grace is now available as an audio book. My friend Jim Thurston graciously offered his golden voice to record the entire book. If you’re interested, click here for additional details.

I’m betting you can’t watch this without laughing. Save it for a day when you need a little cheering up.

A Blog Worth Reading

30th January, 2010 by Rich Dixon No Comments

I’d like to recommend a wonderful blog called 300 Words A Day.

I stumbled upon Jon Swanson’s writing by accident, and it’s become a must-read each morning before I begin work.

Jon is currently walking us through the Gospel of John, using precisely 300 words to offer beautifully crafted insights. I’m amazed by his ability to see the common, everyday detail I usually miss.

Also, here’s a fun, thought-provoking five-minute video: 5.75 Questions You’ve Been Avoiding. I wish I could create stuff like this.
