Cell Phone Worship

May 17, 2007 in Links, Ministry with 0 Comments

Most people who attend weekend worship services are used to being asked to turn their cellphones off (which doesn’t stop the confounded things from ringing at the most inopportune moments). According to the Dallas News Religion Blog, At Pathway of Life Church in southeast Dallas, worshippers are asked to turn their mobile phones on. Each Sunday during the 10:30 a.m. services, the congregation is asked to call people in need of prayer — including those who cannot be at church. The lights in the sanctuary are dimmed, and the hundreds of lighted cellphones make quite a sight…

I’m actually quite familiar with this church. In fact, a few weeks ago I got a paycheck from them on a weekly basis. :)

A truly fascinating medical miracle story that reminds me of the joke where you tell a person you know how they can lose 10 ugly pounds.

Embarrassed of the Human Race

I’ve been reading A Long Way Home, by Ishmael Baeh this week. I’ll give a review in a few days, but it really makes me embarrassed to be a human being on planet earth. The book details some horrible, horrible things that humans have done to other humans.

Anyways… Here is link to something that should embarrass the human race. It almost makes me cry to hear the quotes from this little kid.

Me: “Ryan, why are you and your brother wearing the ties?”

Ryan: “We’re playing Superhero’s!”

Me: “What kind of hero wears a tie?”

Ryan: “ChurchMan!”

Mother’s Day Fact

May 10, 2007 in Personal with 2 Comments

Anna Jarvis, the leader of the early 20th century movement to make Mother’s
Day a national holiday, later fought against the holiday. She felt the day
had become over-commercialized. In fact, she was so frustrated that most
people sent greeting cards on the holiday that she once called the cards,
“a poor excuse for the letter you are too lazy to write.” Jarvis and her
sister spent their family inheritance fighting against the holiday. They
both died in poverty.
