Congrats Mike! Email me at detzelpretzel[at]gmail.com to claim your prize!

Everyone else...check back today for a post about your favorite blogs!

See this pile of stuff? I want you to have it.

As I was cleaning and organizing the other day, I found several books and DVDs that I had more than one copy of. I checked, and being that I am only one human, I realized I didn't need more than one copy of these items.

It's good stuff...really it is. And you'll just have to trust me when I tell you that not all of my stuff is "Christian" stuff...it just seems that the stuff I have more than one of is...well...Christian.

Included is:

The Final Quest by Rick Joyner - This book is INSANE!! It's about a prophetic dream and the imagery is incredible. Fast read.

Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller - Authentic and awesome.

Wild at Heart by John Eldredge - Must read for all convex humans.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis - READ. THIS. BOOK.

The Shack by William P. Young - Who am I kidding, you've probably read this.

Nooma DVDs by Rob Bell - I heart Noomas. Rain, Sunday, and Bullhorn are included. These are spiritual short films sure to challenge, inspire, and mess you up.

EPIC by John Eldredge - About stepping into the biggest story of all.

The Message New Testament - Awesome little pocket-sized bible paraphrase in everyday language.

LOVE WINS stickers too.

NOT PICTURED ARE SECRET ITEMS THAT WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED. Just imagine what these could be...a new car...pocket lint...a trip to Hawaii...some broken crayons. You just never know.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So here are the rules. Post your favorite blogs in the comments section. I don't care if it's 2 blogs or 20 blogs. I just want to know what blogs you're digging. Only ONE COMMENT per person....include all blogs within that one comment.

Saying your favorite blog is This Is REVERB will not raise your chances to win as this will be drawn randomly from the comments. Saying your favorite blog is This Is REVERB will however cause me to do the happy dance.

The winner will be picked tomorrow, October 30th 2008 @ (or around) Noon (my time).

DO IT!!

TIME'S UP PEOPLE!!

It's time for a contest folks! This one is simple...I want to know what you're listening to. I've posted before about some of my music tastes, but I'm interested in finding out what you like.

So here are the rules:

Post your top three bands, albums or songs in the comments section...that's it! Just make sure that you don't post anonymously.

I'll randomly pick one poster's comment and you'll win! Since we're talking music here, I'll be giving away a $30 iTunes gift certificate. It's nothing huge...but it's enough for at least 30 new songs or 3 full albums! There are more than 6 million songs to choose from.

Contest drawing will take place tomorrow morning @ 10am!

Hello all...I think there might only be about 7 or 8 of you who read on a regular basis, but we're about to find out. thisisreverb.com has been running for a few months now. I've quickly fallen in love with blogging as I think I'm hilarious and I love hearing myself talk as well as reading my own type. Yes...I have a problem. This being my 100th post...I decided to celebrate by giving something away.

Now maybe I didn't get enough attention growing up, or maybe I just want to see who all is out there reading. Well...it's time to make yourself known with this contest.

Being a wordsmith...I love coming across new words that have interesting meanings. I'm looking for a new word to add to my vocabulary...something snappy...something fantastical.

Here are the rules:

Post 1 entry per person. Post one word and the meaning of that word. If I deem your word to be the best new word then you win! It must be a real word...I hate when my spellcheck goes crazy on me. It must also be something I haven't heard before...you're going to have to look for the strange ones. Contest ends on Monday @ Noon 2pm!

Example entry:
