Vote for Zach

This past summer, at Impact at Lipscomb University, we heard a special guest speaker named Zach. Zach is a teenager, and has personally contributed to freeing of slaves worldwide. Who would have thought in today's day and time that slaves still were a common part of life in many areas.

I just found out that they opened voting today on CNN Heroes for Zach. In the category of young people making a difference, people are asked to vote and the leading vote getter will advance with the opportunity to appear on a prime time special with Anderson Cooper. This would allow Zach to speak to millions of people about modern day slavery and how he feels God is using his generation to bring freedom.

We have asked CNN to change the short sentence describing his work. $20k is what Zach has contributed personally. He has raised much more money than that through the many schools and churches doing the work. Also, the real power in what he's done for the cause of abolition is in raising awareness and mobilizing a new generation of activists. We've asked them to change it to "Raising awareness and mobilizing students to end slavery."

Anyway, can you help get the word out and ask your friends, network, constituents to vote? Since Zach doesn't have a large organization behind him like the American Cancer Institute, or other such entity, there isn't a large database voting. But, perhaps we can encourage a grass roots effort to get out the vote through MySpace, Facebook, your network of connections, etc.

There is a cash prize involved which Zach would like to use toward the aftercare and education of rescued child slaves if he were to be selected.

People can vote here: www.cnn.com/heroes Your vote doesn't post immediately. You can vote as many times as you like until Monday at
noon.

Thanks! Good luck Zach.

Look Good Feel Good

Not too long ago, my wife ventured into the wonderful world of multi-level marketing. She is now a consultant for Arbonne. Arbonne is very similar in products to something like Mary Kay, but after a few uses, I've determined its MUCH better.

So, we decided we like the product so much that I've signed up to be a consultant as well! Those who know us are probably sick of hearing us talk about it, but its so wonderful. You truly do get what you pay for.

The products are all natural, so if you are one who cares about the environment and your health, these products are great. They have a men's kit, which has a face wash, shave gel, and some toner and moisturizer. I've been using this kit for about 2 months, and my face has never been happier. I was cursed with bad skin, acne, oily skin, and baldness! The men's kit is working wonders, it really is.

They have anti aging skin care systems, aromatherapy, nutritional products, and much more. I'm posting a link to the site, which is called Look Good Feel Good. Go there and start shopping today!
