What is Project52?

Project52 is a per­sonal chal­lenge geared toward get­ting fresh con­tent on your web­site. The goal is to write at least 1 new arti­cle per week for 1 year. Because we all know what it’s like to pro­cras­ti­nate on our content.

All you need to do is just com­mit to the chal­lenge and write the con­tent. This site is just here to remind you of that commitment.

How to Participate

• On Twit­ter, you can fol­low @p52info or use the hash­tag #p52. We’ll track that as often as we can.

• Add your site to the form below. In time, we’ll gather the RSS feeds and begin sort­ing out who the slack­ers are.
• If you would like a ban­ner to add to your site, feel free to down­load the logo. Be sure to link here and help spread the word. It’s time to get peo­ple writ­ing again!
• You can also join the Google Group, if you’d like to share thoughts, ideas, and var­i­ous bits of inspiration.

An awe­some idea, whose time is overdue.

May God bless America.

Prompted by Veteran’s Day in the U.S., and reminded by Jeremy Keith.

Today is Armistice Day, which rec­og­nizes the offi­cial end of World War I on Novem­ber 11, 1918 at 11:00am.

A Time for Everything

For every­thing there is a sea­son, and a time for every mat­ter under heaven:

a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;

a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

Eccle­si­astes 3:1–8

A friend recently men­tioned fears of dying.

I think that many peo­ple would admit, in moments of quiet hon­esty, to sim­i­lar fears.

I did my best to find some encour­age­ment and reassurance:

• “…he answered me and deliv­ered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4
• “…fear not, for I am with you” Isa­iah 41:10
• “You will not fear the ter­ror of the night” Psalm 91:5
• “I will fear no evil” Psalm 23:4
• “…who­ever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eter­nal life. He does not come into judg­ment, but has passed from death to life.” John 5:24

“O death, where is your vic­tory?
O death, where is your sting?”

1 Corinthi­ans 15:55
