Football Fan for a Day – “Be a fan for one day for a single purpose: People. Football draws people like moths to a porch light, and through football you can connect with people. There isn’t another social or entertainment event during the year that draws people like the Super Bowl. So take advantage of it!”

Trusting God – This month’s free audiobook from ChristianAudio is Jerry Bridge’s Trusting God. Go get it!
