Update: Over Halfway There

As Megan and I are six days away from closing on our house, several of you have asked about the latest on the Remember Not to Forget project, which proffers my hits for $10 of help toward our closing costs. An update would seem in order. Currently:

• The download page for the songs has had 116 visits.

• We have $1167.49 in hand.

• We are aware of at least another $350-400 on its way.

• We can confidently say we're halfway toward our goal of $3,000.

Though the $1,000+ jump since our last update is exciting, it hasn't come through the kind of viral networking we're still hoping for. While we had several hundred dollars' worth of song purchases (thank you), we also had two major gifts ($500 and $250) that made up the bulk of the jump. This was great, but we think our idea still has yet to reach its full potential of taking over reaching the greater blogosphere.

That said, with some broad linkage (which still really hasn't happened) and some good word of mouth about the songs and the difference ten little dollars can make here, we're confident we'll see what we need come in. But it needs to happen soon. Pray with us that it will (and, if you haven't yet, buy the songs and link us up).
