			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Dallas. We are doing a short concert that will flow into a time of ministry and worship together as special guests at Community Life Church in McKinney, TX.</p>
<p>Its not that often we play&#8230;well&#8230;outside of someone&#8217;s living room for a concert, so it should be special. What&#8217;s even better is that Rocky and Julie Presley and possibly some more great musicians will be joining us to add to the raucous factor. </p>
<p>Bring a friend&#8211;this is a great way to introduce someone to the Blackthorn Project, or to concerts about the journey of faith, or to worship that&#8217;s not stuffy, or to live music. </p>
<p><strong>Fri Nov 13<br />
601 S Graves St Mckinney, TX 75069-4909</p>
<p>http://www.clcfamily.com/</p>
<p>601 S Graves St<br />
Mckinney, TX 75069-4909<br />
(972) 562-6100</strong></p>
<p>Note: we&#8217;ll also be leading worship for Sunday morning services the weekend prior to the Night of Worship. That&#8217;d be Sunday, November 8, for my fellow temporally challenged. Gatherings are at 9:30 and 11:15.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A simple update about social media:</p>
<p>We love to write blog posts for you to get via email. But we love your email inbox and the space you love for it to have. </p>
<p>We might think of something we want you to know about every other day, but we don&#8217;t want to get emails with new blog posts from anyone that much, so we figure you don&#8217;t either. </p>
<p>But, if you use Twitter, which<a href="http://twitter.pbworks.com/USGovernment"> even the US Government is figuring out they should use</a>, you can get little tiny updates, notes, opportunities, and niceties when you want them. We&#8217;re, uh, tweeting quite a bit now. </p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/blackthornprjct"></p>
<p><img src="http://www.theblackthornproject.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/picture-2-300x204.png" alt="twitter" title="twitter" width="300" height="204" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1975" /></p>
<p>Follow blackthornprjct on Twitter. </a></p>
<p>Also, if you are a Facebook addict like everyone we know <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12207845346">and their mom</a>, you might want to become a fan of our page. We&#8217;re using it a bit more too these days. </p>

<p>If this post made no sense to you, I commend you for loving the real and simple things in life. Now go use your flint and steel to build a fire. And say hi to my Dad&#8211;that&#8217;s probably what he&#8217;s doing.

<p>Inspired by Psalm 139, this is the first song I wrote after the birth of our first daughter, Elizabeth Caroline, whose name means &#8220;Beautiful woman consecrated to God.&#8221;</p>
<p>I wrote it for her as a mother&#8217;s blessing, that she would know her place in the Father&#8217;s heart and trust in his goodness.</p>
<p>I wanted to post this as the next song as we are inside 3 weeks until the birth of our second daughter, and my heart is full of joy and anticipation.</p>
<p><em>&#8211;Laurie</em></p>
<p>–</p>
<p><em>If you like this song why not leave a comment? Please share it with friends; feature it on your facebook, blog, or what-not; and put it on your next mix. If you wish to <a href="../donate/"><strong>sow into our ministry</strong></a> or join our <a href="../partners/"><strong>partners</strong></a> community, that would be great. If you don’t want to right now, then keep on rockin’ in the free world.</em></p>

<p>{Click &#8220;House Concerts&#8221; above to see the information]</p>
<p>Sound good? It really is that simple. We&#8217;re always willing to talk about beyond-the-norm situations and can be creative, so if you&#8217;re thinking &#8216;I&#8217;d love to but&#8230;..&#8217;, well, don&#8217;t. What do your friends need more than to have a relaxed, meaningful time together, being themselves and celebrating the highest things?
