Talent.
Business Cards for Charity
Posted by brendyn in The Remarkable on June 3rd, 2009
As you may be aware, I teach 10-13 year olds at my Church.
We’re planning a graduation trip for the 12-13 year old girls and boys. I’m so proud of their growth, maturity, and the character they show in and out of church.
I need your help.
We need to raise some money in order for the trip to go as planned and be successful. I’ll design your business card at a discount, with all proceeds going to benefit the trip. It’s selfish - I know. But it’s well worth it if you knew the kids.
Here’s The Deal:
- 250 Business Cards @ $150 - Includes full-color design, printing, and shipping.
- 500 Business Cards @ $165 - Includes full-color design, printing, and shipping.
Here’s The Catch:
The full amount is due before the design process begins. You must be a US Resident. There are no refunds. I’m not responsible for damages due to shipping/mishandling. This is not a service of any organization, company, or person outside of myself. This offer is available for the first 8 people to sign up. This offer ends on June 17.

Ideas on Structure
Posted by brendyn in Decision, Quick Thoughts on May 17th, 2009
The strength of a thing is best measured in it’s structure, not it’s density.
Structure is a guide, not a limitation. Guidance can expand and evolve to match surrounding conditions.
Overriding structure is the first step to failure.
An idea is intensified by the sort of structure that surrounds it.
The right kind of structure to surround an idea is that which carries it to another environment.
An idea carried by structure will manifest similar ideas across environments.
The components of structure include:
Attitude
If you’re not in the mindset to create structure, don’t do it.
Acceptance
Structure accepts and is built within it’s environment. You have to first know where you are to create a place to go.
Admiration
Structure considers instances in life that are positioned to be admired. People above you, things around you, followers below you. An instance is a any person, place, or thing that directly affects your total being.
Arrangement
Structure either brings together or builds up.
Availability
Structure requires consistent investment.
My Great Mystery
Posted by brendyn in Quick Thoughts, Reason on May 8th, 2009
@Lorax1515 from Twitter and BlogTV asked, “In the novel that is your life, what part of the story are you at?”
I answered, “I’m still at the beginning, on the edge of some great climatic mystery.”
And I feel it deserves more.
For the past year, I’ve been hellbent on discovering my purpose. I’ve gone through countless exercises, read all the blogs, burned through books and I’m still lost. I’m not completely lost, but lost enough to feel it.
I feel lost because I can’t adequately wrap words around what I earnestly believe to be true concerning me. I feel I’m at a very distinct crossroads. While I have that feeling, it’s not complete. In other words, it still doesn’t describe exactly what I feel.
I remember reading books as a kid. I loved when a fresh story would bend your mind into a corner and leave it there. The story would leave you at the edge of a climax, but wouldn’t tell you what it was. It became the greatest mystery and you’d know it was going to be a good book because the mystery was so early.
I’m there.
I know my story will be great. But, I’m afraid that I’ll fail miserably at achieving that greatness if I make the wrong decision. If I make one wrong move, the rest of the pages will be ripped from the spine. So I sit here. Waiting - still wallowing in the shadow of some great mystery. How long will I stay here?
I could go on with this, but it will become a ramble. So I’ll close up for now.

Dorney Park Trip

We’re planning an end-of-the-year Dorney Park trip for our students at my church. I wanted to supplement the in-house fundraising we’ll be doing. If you want to help, go here: http://www.brendynrucker.com/dorney-trip
