as much of a tool it is. it was becoming a spam proliferation device. i could have pruned my following list (i had an original rule of not following more than 100, but i broke that awhile ago). but even the really interesting people were becoming spammish.

2) 1 Corinthians 3:4-5

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings? What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe — as the Lord has assigned to each his task.

3) anti-Facebook advocate

i am a heavy anti-Facebook advocate. i couldn’t in good faith be a champion of the twitter cause, and a anti-facebook advocate. get off the internet, talk to people, and grow in christ!

And, so ‘I think it’s time we look into the future, the distant future, my friends… all the way to the year 3000!’

In the year 3000…in the year 3000…

in their latest effort to try to stay on the cutting edge of the social networking phenomena, Calvary creates an mIRC chat channel.

in the year 3000…

electronic chips will be embedded into people. As soon as they enter the sanctuary door, they will be marked as present and a tithe will be deducted from their checking accounts.

in the year 3000…

the Creative Arts Ministry will split-off and become a wholly-owned subsidiary. They will have mini-productions every Sunday before 830A & 11A services, funneling the newly ‘got saved’ directly into Calvary.

in the year 3000…

to avoid further confusion after several name changes, Christian Education classes will be permanently renamed . But will be referred to as ‘the classes formerly known as RACE.’

in the year 3000…

the CCC will not yet be certified to be occupied to full capacity.

in the year 3000…

the Trail Guide, Welcome Book, Phone Directory, Playbill, and CARE brochure  will be combined into one all-encompassing publication. It will be full-color and glossy. But to save paper, it will only be published quarterly.

in the year 3000…

Every ministry will be combined into one large ministry named UMBRELLA. Which stands for United, Ministering, Body, Relationships, Exalted, Loving, Leveraging, Accepting. Calvary’s new theme will be ‘Get Under the God Umbrella.’ And they will launch the website GetUnderTheGodUmbrella.com

in the year 3000…

Calvary will still use color-coded attendance folders for class attendance and offering. But they will be delivered and collected using robots.

in the year 3000…

the website will look like it has for 5 years. But it will have better banner ads.

in the year 3000…

the Attendance / Connection will include a 3 page questionnaire for guests including questions like:

List names and attendance statistics of previous churches attended.

to be more cost conscience and to save paper, there will be a moratorium on printing emails.

About – Nixon truly was insane. He goes upstairs and eats cottage cheese w/ ketchup during a State Dinner. He was great on foreign policy, or was it all Kissinger. Look up ‘Elvis’ in the index, and read about the one and only time Elvis visited the White House.
Notes – I’ve been ‘reading’ this book for more than 5 years. I’m picking it up at page 390 (of 610, so w/ 220 left that would still be a decent sized book) and plan to finish it this time….Kissinger was insane and paranoid too.

I know, there are plenty of services and widgets that I could use for this. But doing it this way will make it more prominent, add subscription capabilities, allow me to update reading progress and notes, and give you the ability to comment. Here are the two books I’m currently reading…

About - Detailed look at local and national politics of the 1900’s from the perspective of Speaker Tip O’Neill.

CauseWired
