Get Involved

Guitar

  •  Chordie.com - great selection of chords without annoying and destructive pop-ups.

Charities

  • World Vision  A highly efficient and effective charity, they minister to people's physical and spiritual needs all over the world. 
  • CareNet Pregnancy Center of NW Houston (where Neil volunteers as a counselor)
  • Animal Therapy - No, our animals don't get therapy (although they could use it!).  We take the dogs to Heartland Nursing home.  The residents love to see the dogs, and it makes a great ice-breaker for us and the girls to visit with them. 
  • Faith Comes By Hearing - You can get the audio Bible in many versions and types - CD, cassette or MP3.  The prices are reasonable and it helps support getting audio Bibles to poor and illiterate people around the world. 
  • Prison Fellowship - Exhorting, equipping, & assisting the Church in its ministry to prisoners, ex-prisoners, & their families.

  • Angel Tree - Bringing the love of Christ to prisoners' kids across America

Books - Fiction


Songs (links go to iTunes)

  • Pachelbel Canon in D  Best song ever.  It has everything (well, except for words).  And one of the few classical songs I like.  I picked it up from "Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music," a must-have set of CDs.  It is also special because it is my Dad's favorite song (I don't think we ever heard it together; we just stumbled on this fact). 
  • Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns
  • More to come . . . this section seemed like a good idea at the time, but there are too many songs to choose from!

Movies

  • Groundhog Day
  • The Godfather I
  • The Godfather II
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  • Airplane
  • National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
  • It's a Wonderful Life
  • Fletch
  • Tommy Boy (you'll laugh, you'll cry)

TV Shows

  • The Simpsons - (who else?!)  Yes, we love that show.  It is the only show I watch regularly.  Really. 
  • Monk - He makes our OCD look less raging.

Church

  • Lakewood United Methodist Church - If you are in NW Houston and would like to visit, let me know.  There are a lot of good things going on there - worship, Bible-based sermons, Bible studies, great youth programs, tons of service opportunities, great fellowship and more.   

Podcasts / Radio

Podcasts are audio files you download to your iPod or other mp3 player.  They download automatically each day.

  • OnePlace.com - dozens of great radio shows you can listen to online or download
  • Walk in the Word  - I listen to James MacDonald's sermons almost every day. 
  • Faith Comes By Hearing - get the audio Bible in various translations on cassette, CD or mp3 files.  This is a great ministry that gets the Word to poor people around the world in dozens of languages. 
  • Bible Answer Man
