So...
Just this afternoon I received word that an exclusive piece I wrote for Today's Christian (a sister magazine, or I suppose, to be more accurate, a brother magazine, of Christianity Today) has just been published. It is viewable at www.christianitytoday.com/todayschristian.
At the bottom of the article there is a short bio about me that includes this blog. So if any of you are newbies to this blog and are coming via the TC article, welcome! And if any of you are among the three (I may be up to four) readers who frequent this not-even-two-week-old blog, then shoot on over to TC's site and check out the new article!
The piece was written about a trip I made in March over to the Far East as a speaker/missionary/discipleship mentor/beachbum.
This article may be interesting to you for a variety of reasons, and it may be tedious and trite to you for many reasons; but the article is cool (universally) for one very specific reason: I am featured in a picture right beside one of my all-time heroes: Tony Dungy. This is likely the only time I will ever be referenced (in any capacity) with/beside Tony D, and therefore, this is cool.
If you're unfamilar with me or my writing (which, I'd venture to speculate, is 99.9% of the population) please continue stopping by this blog. This blog is not as "Christian" in content as the TC article (or the book my literary agents and I are about to submit to publishers), but all my thoughts and views recorded here (and those to come) are colored by my faith, and will sporadically include thoughts regarding my Christianity and my life.
So, enough rambling. Thank you for stopping by and please, reach out and say hello. Either at my Myspace or my email address: austin@austincarty.com.
I respond to all emails, so it shouldn't take me long to respond. And if it does... blame it on Tony Dungy... because, now that we're tight buds, I imagine he'll be occupying alot of my time...

I enjoyed reading your interview on Christianity Today.
May God continue to direct your steps as you seek after Him.

I found the article on CT's website (being a Survivor Fan, it caught my eye), thought it excellent and thus found my way to your blog. I really enjoy your writing style!
Keep up the good writing! God's blessings on all you do.

read ur article so came by the link to ur blog the part about humility struck me. God uses so many things to reach out to us our part is to respond when he calls our attention.Thank u for sharing
I was given an article which you wrote for 'Christianity Today' and was curious about something which you wrote. In your piece, there was section in which you were telling a story about a little korean boy falling ill from dehydration. You went on to say that though the man was of the Muslim faith who probed the boy's back, that it was a reflection of the love of Christ.
Based upon that 4 paragraph section, are you inferring that because Jesus was the creator of everything, that His love can be found in Islam, or any other faith for that matter? Even my Lord says that people being evil do good things, but this doesn't mean it's Him directing or leading all of those good things. Anyways, there's people who pay attention to what you say and write and I'm sure you wouldn't want to be misunderstood, one way or another. May the Lord, Christ Jesus, bless you with growth in your understanding of His will, word, and ways.
