10 years ago i was a manager at a family christian store in the dallas area. we had our annual sales conference in grand rapids and went to visit the FCS home office.

little did i remember, the FCS home office and zondervan’s offices are in the same building. so yesterday, when i walked into zondervan, it was like a crazy flash back. who would have known i would be back?

today i spend most of my day in meetings with all the people who have worked so hard on mad church disease - my editiors, designer, marketing guy, and a few others in different departments as well. it has been so awesome to see the inner workings of a publisher!

also today, most of us GET PAID!

we are almost at 4000 shoes on the 50,000 shoes website. i challenged the facebook group of 1000 members to all give 5 bucks today (at least!) and so i am challenging you to do the same as well. some of you have already given and i appreciate that, but since it’s payday (and someone suggested the great idea of reposting the need on payday!) here i am. i am going to go donate a few pairs.

it’s my goal to you guys and the facebook group to get it to 8000 shoes by the weekend. i know we can do it…especially if all of us just do our small parts.

visit the site here to see how many shoes we have donated and how much time we have left!

see you guys soon. and thank you.
