The Growing Gap Between the Rich and Super-Rich. Video at the Onion. Quotes: “The rich are just unwise with their money.” “They don’t stay in school to get their MBAs, to see it through and get their doctorate.”
Tiger Increases the Gap. Tiger Woods may get $1 billion in payouts from the PGA’s retirement plan. (Via Kottke.org.)
Jesus the Logician. According to J.P. Moreland, Jesus was a master of logic in his arguments. In fact, writes Moreland,
To my mind, Jesus was the greatest thinker who ever lived. And while he did not come to develop a theory about logic or to teach logic as a field of study, it is clear that he was adept at employing logical forms and laws in his thinking and reasoning. We who are his followers should go and do likewise.
Inspiring Volunteers. Gary Lamb writes, “You can NEVER cast vision too much. Volunteers do what they do because of the vision, not because they need something else on their schedule.” (Via ChurchRelevance.com.)
Let Guests See the Dress Code Ahead of Time. Above all else, guests to a church don’t want to be embarrassed, according to Pastor Dave Zimmerman of Living Waters Church in Lake Wylie, S.C. He suggests that we can “put pictures on our web sites and brochures to give people an idea as to how they should dress.”
How true it is that when we volunteer it is not to fill the empty space in our lives.
I did volunter because our Pastor Jerry was saying we need someone to do something for OUR library, these past 9 months have been a challange, but also a vision is coming to order slowly.
It has been a pleasure to see us go from 10 books checked out in 6 months, to over 35 books at this time checked out right now.
Now if I can get the software, we will have a full invintory of what e have, then I’ll be asking our other leaders for ideas for other books.
Thanks for all you do Ed.
