Things We Talked About Today

-Mary Beth Chapman joined us today. She is Steven Curtis Chapman's wife and will be joining him on their family's tour stop in Aiken on November 13th. Her book, Choosing to See: A Journey of Struggle and Hope, was recently released detailing her life and the tragedy of losing their 5 year-old daughter, Maria. Mary Beth that Beth Moore wrote the forward to her book and encouraged her to start speaking publicly about her life after a dream that Beth had about her and Maria.
-Facebook gift cards go on sale Sunday at Target. They come in $15, $25 and $50 denominations and can be used to pay for online games that are played through Facebook. This includes the ability to buy Farm Cash to help make your Farmville farm a better place to live. :)
-Mark Hall of Casting Crowns is selling his Star Wars desk as a fundraiser for World Vision. He wants to teach his son that "God doesn’t bless us so we can merely have; He blesses us so we can give.” You can see the desk and make a bid at http://www.hansolodesk.com/.
-We revisited the malware discussion from yesterday. Many people download the tool from http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and, like John, found some bugs on their computers. Lynne told us the software found 500 problems on her machine! Iris called and told us about those pop-up ads that claim to be able to search your computer for viruses and clean it. She says it is a scam. She clicked on one and ended up on the phone with Microsoft tech support to figure out how to get rid of it because it was slowing her computer.
-Meredith Andrews and her husband, Jacob, welcomed Maverick Elijah into the world yesterday. He weighed 8 pound, 2 ounces and is 21 inches long. Meredith said the hardest part about labor was that she wanted chicken nuggets from Chick-Fil-A and couldn't have them until after the delivery!
