Deal of the Day (and no lines)

Tiffany ep cover

In honor of Black Friday I thought it would be fitting today to let you know about a great deal. My friend Tiffany Thurston just released her second EP, a snapshot of what you can expect from her full-length album to be released in 2012, and I’m so excited for you guys to check it out. In addition to touring throughout the year with Women of Faith and Natalie Grant, Tiffany is one of the amazing worship leaders at Cross Point and we’re so lucky to know her.

Tiffany’s spirit for Christ is evident in everything she does and there’s no mistaking what she seeks in this life; for Jesus’ name to be made bigger and brighter. Tiffany is a super talented songwriter and artist originally from Hawaii and I highly encourage you today to get in on this treat. Snag copies for yourself, friends and loved ones this Christmas. At $2.97 you really can’t beat it. :)

Today only, I’m giving away 5 free digital copies along with, thanks to Tiffany’s generosity,  5 free Hello Somebody watches tying into the theme of one of her tunes called “Wake Up.”

If you’re not familiar with Hello Somebody, they’re a great organization literally changing hundreds of lives every day through their mission to feed and educate children in order to break the cycle of hunger and poverty within their generation. When you purchase a Hello Somebody product you invest directly into the lives of these children and this mission. They also have a couple of way cool Black Friday package deals you can check out here.

If you’d like to be included in the drawing leave your name and where you’re from in the comments and let us know if you braved the Black Friday crowds or decided to stay away from the madness!

Scaling Back Looks Doubtful

So, over the weekend, I’ve been reading retailers are disappointed with the spending figures from Black Friday even though some 10.6 billion dollars were spent at an average of $372 per shopper. To put this into perspective, we could have solved the world water crisis for just 10 billion dollars.

There was even a man literally trampled to death by shoppers who couldn’t get to their bargain fast enough.

I personally have been excited about all the talk of “cutting back” this year. I was hoping the recent financial crisis would be a catalyst to help us focus on the things which really matter this Christmas.

While I love this time of year and everything that comes along with it, at times I’m disappointed with how we allow greed to control us. And while I’m not going to trample someone to death trying to get what I want, I’ve been known to get caught up in the “I want/I need” game.

Are you planning on spending less this year?  Why or why not?

What A Great Day

We’ve had a wonderful Thanksgiving here in Toledo, Ohio. It’s been great to spend some time with my Grandpa Wilson as well as Grandpa and Grandma Graham and other family.
