emergent blogger and activist rudy carrasco's son sam was just diagnosed with leukemia yesterday. jen lemen has organized a donation via PayPal here. prayers and donations via the blogosphere underscore my earlier post about blogging as spiritual formation. If you're part of this far-flung community, or even not, please consider breaking out of the norm and give out of sacrifice to this ministry.
Prayers for Sam, for his parents, for the docs.
in similar yet unrelated news, fans of Over The Rhine (my favorite recoirding artists) are organizing a similar PayPal donate-a-thon to send funds to the band (who recently had their trailer full of musican equipment stolen while on tour -- all that was left behind was a B-3 organ!).
Prayers for OtR, the thieves, and for the discovery of the equipment.
Good uses of technology.

I concur: this is the power of technology. Community can exist regardless of geography. I gave. Thanks for the post--this was the third blog I've seen mention this. How can you ignore that?
