I have been making a determined effort as of late, to push myself to read more. I try to spend some time in the morning reading my devotional (My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers) and my bible first thing in the morning with my morning coffee, news, and cigarette (yeah, I know that isn't conventionally acceptable to say at church and my mom keeps telling me I need to quit). I have also been reading at night before going to sleep.

The last several days have been very busy. We (Minnie and I)went to the monthly Young Professionals of the Tri-Cities social night out, a fundraiser for Safe Harbor Crisis Nursery, hung out with great friends at Twigs, helped pass out fliers and food to teens, Minnies dad's 61st birthday dinner and her friends birthday party, went to church, and got my car fixed. Like I said, a busy couple of days.

On Saturday, I got the opportunity to attend My Friends Place's Fundraiser called the Lawyer's and Artist's Ball 2011. It was a pretty amazing event. I have been lucky to be able to be on the committee to start My Friends Place (you can also check out the My Friends Place Cause Page). My Friends Place is both a non-profit organization and a program of Safe Harbor Crisis Nursery. It has been quite a process and I have been loving the opportunity to be a part of something big and a great need for our community!
The event went wonderfully. There were tons of great costumes and I think we raised a lot of money. You can check out the photos I took (I wish I had taken more) in my Facebook Album Lawyer's & Artist's Ball 2011 Album. It was impacting to hear the story one man told about his son who recently died... but had previously been homeless. We found out that he and his family had donated $10,000.00, which is enough to open the doors as soon as possible.

Life has been busy lately, and I haven't posted anything for a while. Most of my time has been taken up by working. I'm working as a Mental Health Case Manager at Nueva Esperanza a part of Tri-Cities Community Health. I have been really loving it. I've gotten lots of cool opportunities working there, and am learning a lot.

On Friday, I got the opportunity to go to Safe Harbor's annual Beggars Banquet. It was a really great event, and so much bigger then I've seen it. It had been several years since I was able to go to the last event, and it has changed drastically and really gave me some great prospective on doing some fundraising events.
My name is Jacob Rodman Campbell VSP (the VSP stands for "Very Special Person" which is my given name and on my birth certificate). If you know me in a professional setting you might also see MSW on my name (Master's of Social Work) which is my professional degree. This website is a kind of playground for me. It was born out of being interested in graphic and webdesign and just wanting to learn how to do it.
