Dear Friend,
Well, here we are, with a new format and service for The Monday Memo. I thought I would send an abbreviated version today. Please be patient with me as I figure out all the specifics that will go with this new format. As I stated in a Memo ealier this year, I maintained my mailing lists far longer than I should have, so that this change was long overdue. Now there will be a learning curve as together we get used to these changes. Here are some announcements and things for you to remember:
1. If you need to change your address to which this is sent, I would recommend that you click on this new link (or just look to the right of this post if you are at the actual site) and it will take you to a place where you can subscribe using your new email address. Once that is completed, you can hit the unsubscribe link that should be at the bottom of this screen. I would make sure the new address goes through before you unsubscribe the old one.
2. If you would like to unsubscribe, just click the link below (if you receive this as an automatic message). If you would like to add a gift subscription, please follow the procedure outlined in point one above and let the person know that the gift subscription is coming from you--so they don't think I am sending them uninvited spam.
3. All The Monday Memos should also be stored here at this new link. If for any reason you don't receive your weekly Memo or delete it, you can come here to pick yours up.
4. The Bible studies will follow the same procedure, once we figure out how to send the 8-page attachment in such a way as to not cause you problems when you download it. I will send out a notice with instructions for the Bible study when that problem is solved.
5. I will be in Kenya from May 2 to May 11. If you would like to book a profiling/purpose appointment or would like to have me speak at your church or organization, please email me at your earliest convenience.
6. I will be back in Zimbabwe from May 11-June 25, with some side trips booked during that time. If you would like to meet with me or schedule me to come to your church or business, please email me as soon as possible.
If this message goes through as it should, then I plan on resuming The Monday Memo this coming Monday using this service. Thank you for your patience as we have searched for a solution to the wonderful problem of adding more and more people to my mailing list.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me. Again, please be patient as I may have to send you another message changing something I have established in this entry as we find out what works and what doesn't. My thanks again to David and Bill for all their help in this process. And thank you for your patience as well.
In Him,
John Stanko

Dr. Stanko - I'm trying to use the buttons on the sidebar, and the seem to be trying to add your normal blog (http://www.johnstanko.us/) to my feed instead of your Monday Memo feed. You might want to check on those links.

The email subscribe services are working fine. Just put your email address in for any of my three blogs on that particular site. Feedblitz will sort out which one you want, even though it goes to the same database.

Actually, I am already getting the Monday Memo via email. I wanted to subscribe to the feed instead, since I find it more efficient to receive updates as a headline on my MyYahoo! page rather than process another email in my Inbox.
I got everything working fine now, though.

On 10th May, I was driving to work and you were on 93.3 Hope Fm in Nairobi. You spoke staright into my world and at 08.07 I wrote this down in my "pocket blog" - "God has spoken to me - 08.07 10th May 2006. I'm in the jam heading to a place i no longer wanna be". I also wrote down what you said - courage is not the absence of fear but operating in spite of it!! Powerful. Well, I'm still here, in the place that I no longer wanna be i.e. my work place. I'd rather be running our hair and beauty shop with my wife by my side and planning and visualising on how to grow it over the next 3, 5, 20 years. I actually wrote wrote a resignation letter that day. The letter was actually a culmination of many other factors - what I had come to refer to as non-value adding stress. However, I'm still here - my wife and I analysed the financial situation especially the level of debt and we agreed to push this forward to closer to year end when we'll not be as highly leveraged as we are. So I'm back to the preparation stage. I have set a goal to be operating the business from home as from January 2007. One thing is for sure - there is no right time to leave and if you're not careful, paralysis by analysis will set in and depress you. I'm doing my best to listen to the Lords voice here and I believe he has spoken and will continue to do so. Like you said, if he has provided me with success this far, He can do it again and again and again. God bless you mightily.
