Hey Crashers,
My love language is definitely gifts! I like them a lot. Receiving 😊, but especially giving. They’re like little tokens of appreciation selected for friends and family. I try and think about what people want, need, and what they will love. While it can be delightful, it can be infuriating. Trying to find that perfect something sometimes just doesn’t happen, but when you succeed - it feels like pure joy! Know what I mean?
In the interest of the gift giver in me, I asked Rich if we could do something special this week and provide a discount for all our Rapid 5 subscribers so you can gift a Rhino membership to a creative friend or pastor in your world this year at Christmas. Invest in them all year long in 2024 (or if you don’t tell anyone, you can just sneakily buy yourself a full subscription, join us over in the journals, get input from our industry friends, and learn and grow as creatives. We’ve got a lot in the works for next year - don’t miss out!
Grace and Peace,
Cass & Rich
P.S. - Check out the article I wrote about the Christmas season. I pray it helps you as you celebrate Jesus’ birth!!
