Today\u2019s my birthday! \u00a0I\u2019m<\/em> celebrating by going to the monthly DC Shape Note sing and singing things like \u201cDavid\u2019s Lamentation!\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Um, well\u2026 in a festive way. \u00a0(Maybe that was not the right song example to give) \u00a0Is \u201cBalm in Gilead\u201d<\/a> better?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, for you guys, I\u2019m pleased to announce that the ebook version of\u00a0Arriving at Amen<\/em> is discounted all week!<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve read the book and liked it, maybe today\u2019s a good day to give me a birthday present by getting a copy of\u00a0Arriving at Amen<\/em> as a surprise present for a friend you think might like it. And, if you\u2019ve been waiting to read it, the ebook is now less than $4.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Birthdays are the day that everyone visits your facebook, and a number of my friends have been seizing that opportunity to run mini-fundraisers for effective altruist causes. I\u2019ve liked coming across them, because they give me a chance to splurge on good works. \u00a0(There\u2019s something nice about getting a sudden, unplanned opportunity to good \u2014 I\u2019m trying to build up my Luke 8:43-48<\/a> reflexes\/being responsive to the need of another).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to give to the mini-fundraiser I\u2019m doing for GiveDirectly<\/a> (a cash transfer program that\u2019s one of GiveWell\u2019s top recommendations for effectiveness<\/a>) it\u2019s much appreciated! \u00a0But I\u2019m mentioning it primarily in case some of you would like to run your own mini-fundraisers for charitable causes on your own birthdays (in the more intimate setting of a private facebook, not a public blog)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
