to our new sanctuary. What an awesome time in the life of the church. If you haven't been by, come check it out - Sundays 8:00 and 10:45.

that they're concerned because in 2010 they're going to shut down the space shuttle program, and won't have the new program up until 2015, so they'll have to rely on Russian technology to get supplies and personnel to the space station. The new program, they say, will be able to take us to the moon. Seriously, you have to ask yourself why they're going to shut our program down in order to build a vehicle that will take us to the moon. I thought we already went there?

Since when did the taxpayers stop funding the public airways? I thought CBS was available for FREE over the air? I think the NFL is ridiculous.

If you're in ministry, what are you passionate about? Learning? Musical excellence? Cool technology and gadgets? Stage time? Good singing voice? Or is your passion found in the people around you - the people that God has called you to minister to? My passion is in my volunteers. Nothing thrills me more than to get volunteers plugged in so they are able to play, sing, run technology, and do it to the best of their ability. God has called them to a specific purpose, and it thrills me to no end to be able to join them as they spend…

This should be entitled "15 Reasons to already own a MAC." Here's an article about all the great new things that Microsoft Vista will do. The funny thing is, it's what MAC has been doing for years now. Don't spend the $300 to upgrade to a buggy Vista. Buy a MAC.
