Thanks Janette.

I always try to anchor it around scripture. I find if I don't I go off on some tangent and it doesn't make sense.

Jim, I love the way you incorporate scripture throughout the songs in the morning--- it's very...'scriptural', for lack of better descriptor. :)

Know anybody using Twitter (or any other social media) effectively in parachurch/broadcasting ministry?

I know about Ron Hutchcraft who uses website based blogs coupled with kids tweeting to be "rescuers" (i.e. share the message of salvation.)

I see Matt Sorger keeping in touch with followers.

Otherwise, I see lots of folks just using it, like holding up signs in the dark, but no clear "use" like getting results.

Ideas? Directions? Models? Thanks very much.

I always like word games. Lately a friend introduced me a new game EPELER, it’s a cute word arcade game. I need to make as many words as possible from the falling letters, and the goal is to clean up the world. Took me 2 days to see the ending~

By the way my words with friends id is hihecat, want to start a game?

From anything I've ever worked with, MD5 deals with the MD5 hash - security functions. A friend of mine runs http://forums.developdaly.com/. You can try asking those guys about a MD5 tag.

Happy Anniversary Jim!

Crazy - God gave me the same promise about 21 years ago the year after I finished High School, but it was in the context of my struggle as to whether I should tithe my money or not. I was scared that I couldn't afford to give up even 10% of the little I had (I had already left home and was in full time ministry for a year before starting university), but I remember clearly that day when I was walking in the Lancashire countryside along a canal and God said to me "You tithe and I'll provide". It was a pivotal moment for me and he has always kept his promise. Just like he has for you.

I personally love it.
I was involved for over 18 years in youth ministry.
My heart always longed for the “big church” to integrate the youth into the whole of the body.
At my current church home, I love to incorporate any age involved in the weekend experience.
Time for a paradigm shift.

Did you really have someone try to pick pocket you? I knew you said it was common, but to know they are doing it. Wow. Glad you had it somewhere else.
