Hope everyone had a great week.  Enjoy the links and enjoy your weekend.

1. I am digging the Olympics.  I’ve probably watched more of these Olympics than any other Olympics ever.  There’s been some controversy too.  First, China decides a little girl is not cute enough to be on camera and replaces her with a cuter girl.  Wow.  Then, it comes out that China seems to be using girls that are too young to compete.  Nice job China, you somehow found a way to make looks and age an issue.  Do you want to punch a kitten as well?
2. Check out this reporter and his 24-hour non-stop viewing of the Olympics.  He only did it for one day, but it’s still pretty cool.
3. I talked about Elevation Church yesterday, but wanted to share something else today.  Recently they did a spontaneous baptism at their church and baptized of 1,000 people in two weekends!  In this link, they are sharing all the details about how they planned it so other churches can do the same thing.  I love it!
4. Funny pic from the Department of Redundancy Department.
5. This is a great post by Seth Godin about how to leverage technology to improve customer service experiences.  Lots of implication for church and the business world; basically anyone that works with people.
6. Many times over the past few weeks, I’ve felt myself saying, “if I only had _______, we’d be set as a church.”  Bobby Gruenewald thinks that is bad thinking and I agree.  
7. Some dudes in Georgia (the state, not the country) claim they have a dead Bigfoot in their freezer.  Yeah, I said Bigfoot.  Welcome to the South.
8. Perry Noble had an amazing blog this week about how to get past the mistakes we’ve made in the past.  Definitely worth a read.
9. Finally, my oldest son David turned three this week.  My wife wrote a post that is so sweet, there’s no way I could have done better so just go read hers.
