Mr. James Copeland, associate
A sincere welcome to our newest rbcstudents family member, Mr. James Copeland. I asked some questions, and he obliged some answers.
Q: Education.
A: "I was home schooled all through Jr. High and High school. After high school, I spent 2 years with Youth With A Mission, a missions training and sending organization. I am currently attending Missouri State University, pursuing a Global Studies major and French minor."
Q: Family.
A: "My wife's name is Abi, and we have two incredible daughters, Anabelle and Mya. Anabelle is 2 years old, and Mya is almost 6 months old."
Q: When did you feel God calling you toward ministry? Has ministry been something you’ve always loved or were you headed a different direction? What influence has your dad’s (Randy Copeland) service had on you?
A: "I felt called in to ministry when I was about 16 years old. I was at A Student Life Camp, and I knew that God was calling me to spend my life leading worship, discipling people and being involved in mission work. Since that time, that has been my goal. My dad's involvement in ministry has definitely been a big influence on me, and I have learned a lot from watching him. His passion for the Lord and for seeing people come to Christ is contagious."
Q: One thing your parents taught you that you will pass to your children?
A: "To love and follow Christ, and the values of hard work and respect."
Q: Superpower you’d like to have.
A: "Hmmm...I would like to be able to fly. That would be pretty cool. But I would want to be able to fly really fast, so that I could circle the globe in, like, two hours or less if I wanted to. That would be a sweet way to travel."
Q: Unpublicized talent you possess?
A: "House cleaning. I am really good at cleaning the house, and I actually like to do it."
Q: Cutest thing your kids did today?
A: "This happened today, and everyday; Mya smiles a huge smile when I pick her up out of bed, and Anabelle is always so excited to see me when I get home. She runs up yelling, 'Daddy, daddy, daddy!' Makes my day."

Places to go.
Facebook is the current what's-up, we know. Recently, experts have whirled around the outrageous idea that the social networking site is worth (gasp!) $50 billion. In one interview, a panelist remarked, "People are building their lives around [Facebook]." Note to you: Please don't build your life around Facebook. I'm sure any recovering NKOTB fan will tell you, it's just not worth it.
To help broaden your WWW horizons, see below for a few additional websites to check out.
1. PrayerWorks. Brought to us by The Wind, PrayerWorks is a site for those needing prayer and for those wanting to pray for others.
2. The Wind FM. Speaking of The Wind, visit their homepage to find more information about "Drive-thu Difference," as well as upcoming concerts.
3. Praying for Nina. A blog by Rosy Fredeen. In August 2010, her little girl, Nina, was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor on the brainstem. Visit often. (bad words sometimes used.)
4. I Am Second. Short videos of folks sharing how they are second and Jesus is first. Complete with a 22-Day Challenge.
5. Save the Words. "Use your words," they say. This site will help you be top-notch.
6. Cranium. A super-fun game.
7. GrooveShark. Sold all your Tiffany cassette tapes? Never fear! You'll find her (and a whole bunch of other) songs at GrooveShark. And it's free to listen.
8. National Geographic. Things that make you go, "Wow."
9. SuperCook. Chicken stock in the refrigerator about to expire? Find recipes to combat the need for a trash can.
10. Hulu. Missed a recent TV show? It's probably here. Along with some classics.
