Tips for church communicators, failure, cats in hats, a profound yet simple wellness tip and more in this week’s Snack Pack.
I hate failure, I mean, don’t we all? But Seth Godin’s post this week entitled, When will we learn? reminded me that sometimes we choose failure.
Three Cats in Japan Have a Closet Full of Custom-Made Hats Felted From Their Shedded Fur and it’s totally comical and genius. My three cats definitely shed enough to make hats out of their shedded fur but I feel like then they’d destroy them.
The Matrix is returning to theaters to celebrate its 20th anniversary which made me think of two things: one, The Matrix is as old as me, and two, maybe I should watch them because I’ve never seen them before.
This week’s post from the ChurchMag Archives is from 2013 and yet so applicable even today. So be sure to read, The World’s Quietest Room: Too Much Noise; Too Much Tech?
5 Fall Kickoff Tips for Church Communicators and while it may seem early for that, it’s never too early to begin planning.
This made me laugh so hard. I don’t know how many times this happened to me.
So good.

This is applicable everywhere and anywhere.
“People have said, “don’t cry“ to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is, “I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings. Don’t cry.“ I’d rather have them say, “go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.“”

Allie, I can’t believe you haven’t watched, even the first Matrix movie. All ChurchMag staff must have at least watched the first one, a minimum of three times. That is prerequisite watching… Just saying
