We Have Our Work Cut Out (MUIP)

Methodists United in Prayer Stats:

683 Methodist Churches in the Florida Conference

384 Methodist Churches in Cuba

186 Cuba churches have a sister church (48%)

Our Challenge:

Move that 48% to 100%

I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand.

Let's elect a new President and Congress, cut their pay in half, impose two year term limits, move the capitol to Dallas, and start over.

U.S. may be easing Cuba travel rules

I ran across this article about plans to ease travel to Cuba: U.S. plans to ease travel to Cuba: lawmaker's aide

As someone who has traveled to Cuba twice with the Methodist church, I can tell you first hand that easing the restrictions would be a good thing. The red tape required to travel there under a religious visa is stifling. Our mission ("Methodists United in Prayer") would be well served by a relaxation of the current travel rules.

Have your tried mind mapping? (Article from Inc. magazine)

Here is a good article for small business owners from Inc. magazine on mind mapping. I have found the concept to be very useful for project management; there are a lot of ways for entrepreneurs to put it to effective use.

I use software from Mindjet (MindManager) and can recommend it highly. For project management, ResultsManager is a great add-in.
