iPhone Pastor Appreciation day

Just a thought for those of you who really appreciate your pastor!  Here is a blog post I am copying from another site:
 

iPhone Pastor Appreciation Sunday

Sunday, April 20th is the Official iPhone Pastor Appreciation Day. It is on this day that someone in the congregation should buy their pastor(s) the 16 GB Apple iPhone and two year service plan from AT&T and present it to them for a job well done. Actually I am starting this movement with this blog entry. Please do your best to pass this entry around to as many as possible.

Every pastor needs an iPhone to help carry out the duties of their call. To be in constant contact with the flock at all times via voice, text, and email is a reality in this modern age of communication. An iPhone will allow your pastor to listen to some of the worlds best preachers/teachers via the iPod functionality of the iPhone. This will no doubt enhance his leadership and speaking abilities. Not only that, but he will be able to update his blog with spiritual manna so that many will be fed on a daily basis.

Yes, an iPhone is a spiritual tool in the right hands of the right man.

I must confess, I am an Appleholic. I haven't always been an Appleholic, but when I gave in to the first taste of OSX and all of it's useable glory, I could not contain myself and the urge to have more.

I am not alone. There are many that I know that have been swayed by this temptress. Steve Jobs knows exactly what he is doing. He gives us a fix every three-four months with a new product, a new update, a new announcement. Just enough to keep us coming back for more. That shiny chrome Apple logo calls us to the local Apple store to entice us to spend money that should be used for the mortgage, groceries, your kid's braces, but resistance is futile. What is happening?

Apple has been called a cult. It's users labeled as arrogant.

If you have a problem with any of this, drop me an email or comment and I will get back to you.

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...
