Call me! Text me! Tweet me! How not to get lost at ACL 2011

It’s not always that easy to find your friends in a crowd of 60-thousand-plus people. Trust me, I have tried to do so—with limited success—for years at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The main reasons: our lack of a plan and our inability to get cell phone signals. With everyone trying to dial into limited capacity networks, signals get jammed and service can be sporadic at best.

Back in the old days, meaning when I was a kid, the best way to find someone was to have a plan. At an amusement park, for example, my dad would say something like, “If we become separated, everyone meet in front of the fountain near the front ticket booth.” Or we’d all just agree to return to the last spot we were together. Good plans didn’t always work; when I was even younger, “Would Mrs. Henderson please come to the customer service counter to claim her daughter?” was heard over the loud speaker at Kmart on more than one occasion.

Today if you’d rather rely solely on modern technology to help you find your fellow music fans, families and friends at ACL 2011, here are some of your options:

How to Trust God When Everything Seems Impossible #FaithOverFear

Life is full of challenges, and sometimes, these challenges can feel insurmountable. We face situations where the odds are stacked against us, where solutions seem out of reach, and where despair starts to creep in. In these moments, trusting God can feel difficult, yet it is precisely during these times that our faith is most crucial. Here’s how to trust God even when everything seems impossible. 1. Remember God’s Faithfulness in the Past When facing seemingly impossible circumstances, it’s important to remember the times when God has come through for you in the past. Reflect on past situations where God’s guidance, provision, and love were evident in your life. The Bible is filled with stories of God’s faithfulness, such as when He parted the Red Sea for the Israelites ( Exodus 14:21-22 ) or when He provided manna in the wilderness ( Exodus 16:4 ). Remembering these instances strengthens our faith and helps us to trust that God will be faithful again. Scripture Reference: "The L...

Living with Purpose: God’s Plan for Our Lives on Earth

God’s purpose for our lives on Earth is beautifully woven throughout the entire Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, His plan for humanity is clear: 1. To Know and Love God The greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. Our primary purpose is to have a personal relationship with Him. 📖 Matthew 22:37-38 – “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” God created us to walk with Him in fellowship, just as He did with Adam and Eve in the Garden before sin entered the world ( Genesis 3:8-9 ). 2. To Glorify God in All We Do Everything we do—our work, relationships, and daily lives—should bring glory to God. 📖 1 Corinthians 10:31 – “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 📖 Isaiah 43:7 – “Everyone who is called by My name, whom I created for My glory, whom I formed and made.” We are reflections of His love and grace,...
