It’s been a crazy, intense, and slightly insanity inducing week. I didn’t get to publish any blogs in the past week here. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working behind the scenes on some things. In fact, I’ve probably drafted more blog posts this week than I have in a long time! It seems my creativity has been surging.

The reason for that is that I’ve been searching out sources or inspiration that I can pass on to you! In this week’s review I’ve got some awesome resources to get your creativity going this week!

I’ll also be updating you on next week’s adventure to come. Let’s dive in!


This weeks inspiration


Google Creative Sandbox

This is probably now one of my favorite places to visit online for creative inspiration. Well worth checking out.

Inspiration.MailChimp


You know that I love me some MailChimp! They’ve recently started a page dedicated to inspiring and/or creative newsletter designs. It’s basically like a giant, endless pinboard of awesome newsletter designs. I could sit there and scroll through for an hour.

If you have a newsletter, or any sort of email subscription delivery, this will definitely give you a few ideas!


Nick Vujicic

Nick Vujicic is an inspiration. Period. I am really excited to see him next week at R12! I’m hoping my Press Pass will get me a chance to speak with him.

Thanks to Joe Lalonde for leading me to this video.


Catalyst

The Catalyst conference is taking place this week in Atlanta, GA. I really wish I could have gone this year. I’m sure it’s going to be an epic experience. Since I can’t make it, I’ll be keeping my eye on a few of the prolific bloggers in attendance. Here’s who I’ll be following:

Check up on the #Catalyst hashtag from time to time today and tomorrow– you’re bound to be inspired.


Next Week

I’m in full on preparation for the R12 conference next week! It begins on Tuesday morning and will be going all day. Wednesday will be another full day followed by it’s conclusion that evening. In the next few days I’ll post the schedule and how you can follow along with me, and possibly even participate in my experience there!

On top of making sure I publish my notes here, I’ll also be doing coverage for ChurchMag while at the conference. I’ll even be hosting a live Google+ Hangout (or two) via the ChurchMag page. It’s all very exciting as I’m sure Jesus is going to move in a powerful way over those couple of days!

Because Jesus lives, we live for Jesus!

After we get home from the conference, my family and I will have just enough time to unpack, get settled and leave for Las Vegas! That’s right– Vegas baby! My wife and I will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary where we went on our honeymoon. It should be a good time. I’m sure I’ll have plenty to blog about when I get back. Especially since I plan on getting the iPhone 5 while I’m there.

That’s it for this week! I hope yours was less crazy than mine! Is there anything really interesting going on in your world this week? You can leave a comment by clicking here.
