In about 4 hours I will be somewhere in the air heading south.

Bryan Karas and I are heading down to the Q Conference in Atlanta to hear what are sure to be brilliant presentations about Future/Culture/Church/Gospel.  I for one canNOT wait to experience what’s in store.

I will be sure to blog notes (or at least reflections) from the conference.

As an added benefit, I think I might get to hang out with Brian and Leah Manley while we’re down there.  They just made a HUGE move from SoCal to the ATL.  You should probably go to their blog and read about all the excitement.

I followed this link from the good folks at RelevantMagazine.com.

You can go to GlobalRichList.com and type in how much money you make in a year and it will tell you where you rank in the world. It’s quite a humbling experience to be honest. Here’s a quote from the results page…

RICHER THAN YOU THINK?
How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Richer and ready to give some of your newly found wealth to those who need it most. It not hard – just slip your hand in your pocket and pull out something special.
All you have to do is make a choice.
$8 could buy you 15 organic apples OR 25 fruit trees for farmers in Honduras to grow and sell fruit at their local market.
$30 could buy you an ER DVD Boxset OR a First Aid kit for a village in Haiti.
$73 could buy you a new mobile phone OR a new mobile health clinic to care for AIDS orphans in Uganda.
$2400 could buy you a second generation High Definition TV OR schooling for an entire generation of school children in an Angolan village.

hmmm….  Go see how RICH you are.
