I’m proud to announce that our small family has just recently jumped on the Kite™ bandwagon and is supporting this campaign to literally CHANGE THE WORLD!
Kite™ is “an innovative, powerful and surprisingly small sticker that protects humans from mosquitoes.”
The Kite™ uses patent-pending (and FDA-approved) compounds that block mosquitoes’ ability to track humans for up to 48 hours. This could be the game-changer in countries (and continents) where a bite from a mosquito can literally be a matter between life-and-death.
As soon as I read through what this company had invented and were doing to crowd-fund their first batch of stickers to test in Uganda, I txted my wife and told her we need to jump on this opportunity to support such a great initiative! She agreed and moments later we were supporting Kite™! We have joined with THOUSANDS of supporters to see these stickers come to life and provide relief in places we know will benefit! The crowd-funding initiative reached 100% of its goal within 4-days of launch and has continued to see steady growth! It’s not too late to jump onto the bandwagon and support this great product!
Check out what Kite™ is doing and how YOU can be a part of this initial crowd-sourced fundraising effort to put stickers ON THE GROUND in Uganda!
When is the last time you’ve been overwhelmed by Grace?
PLEASE do yourself a favor and take a moment and watch this incredible music video by my friend Scott Troyer.
The story behind the shoot for this video is worth checking out here.
The lyrics to the song:
“O Sweet Grace”
Scott TroyerMy fool heart is breaking the rules again
taking no count of the cost or the consequence
So darkness fills this room where I lay
appeasing my nagging guilt with my sufferingBut o sweet Grace tangles me in her web,
surrounds my soul, let’s me know that she’s in control.
Then o sweet Grace wrestles the demons within,
pins them down, sets me free again.Oh, I’ve had enough of these careless mistakes.
There’re just no more excuses. I’m the only one to blame.
So darkness is chased from my room by the light
of the morning sun. I’ve nothing left. I’m overcome!By o sweet Grace, defender of guilty men,
anchor throughout life’s storms, the washer away of my sins
But o sweet Grace, how can I be so sure
I’m forgiven and I’m guilty no more?I’m caught in the crossfire of angels and demons
As I pass through, this parking lot echoes with rumors
It’s a change in perspective ’tween the saved and the damned
Singing, “Alleluia!”I’m caught in the crossfire of angels and demons
As I pass through, this parking lot echoes with rumors
It’s a change in perspective ’tween the saved and the damned
Singing, “Alleluia!”O sweet Grace,
take me all at once,
into Your arms,
into Your arms.I’m caught in the crossfire of angels and demons
As I pass through, this parking lot echoes with rumors
It’s a change in perspective ’tween the saved and the damned
Singing, “Alleluia!”Copyright © 2006 Scott Troyer.
This is becoming (again) a regularly-occurring blog post, so I decided to add the above image to help set it off when it does appear. I will try to post these on Saturdays, but last week got a little out of hand and I had to wait until today to post my YouTube likes.
I have received some feedback that these posts are helpful and fun. I can’t imagine how many YouTube videos I see in a given week, but when I “like” them, they will often fall into these weekly blog posts. If you’ve benefited even slightly from this or previous “YouTube likes” posts, would you take a second to let me know? Or better yet, share this post (it’s pretty simple to share using the buttons at the bottom of this post). Thanks!
