Rescuing women from prostitution, strip joints, and drugs… World Magazine tells the story of A Way Out, a faith-based “rescue program”, run by George Kuykendall, a former helicopter pilot, who is doing a new kind of rescue in Memphis, TN.
Since 1992, A Way Out has been rescuing women from Memphis’ prostitution, stripping, and drug culture. Out of 248 women helped, only seven have ever returned to “the industry” after completing the program.

I’m excited about Getting Things Done, the book by David Allen. (Amazon link.) GTD is Getting Things Done - see definition of GTD. I’m already getting more things done, because I’m more organized, and haven’t even read the book yet. I’ve read a couple reviews, outlines, and summaries of the principles and main ideas from the book. That was enough to jump start me into a new way of thinking and working. Here’s what’s happening:
- Learned a better way to manage my inbox(es).
- A smarter way to manage my project lists and to-do lists.
- I am better organized and more focused on my goals.
- That’s all for today — I have to run, and Get Things Done!
We’ll come back to this topic in a couple weeks and see what other progress I can report.
