Comment on Why are adults so boring? by Karen

Karen — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:30:56 +0000

So, I am 42 and I have NEVER been boring nor ever will be. I shop at thrift stores, have jet black hair, laugh till it hurts everyday and I love to collect rocks, drink red wine, talk about philosophy while wearing a tutu, and love my kids and husband with a sense of joy that permeates everything we do and say. Am I in need of “fitting in” no way! In a sense I am more successful than most with a 20 year marriage and 2 teenagers who still hold our hands, cry when they need to and tell us everything that matters to them. People my age act like they are enduring their life, hating their place in the world and expecting the worst from their marriage and their kids. Lighten up! Skip, jump, wear whatever the hell makes you feel beautiful and fun and most of all, love love love everyone, give it away and it will come back to you in the most amazing ways.

Life doesn’t have to be that way! I think, life is what WE make of it! Of course, God orchestrates everything, but it’s how we respond to that. In fact, perhaps Jesus presented himself like this? Perhaps Jesus WANTS us to be like a child?

I think we need to be real with ourselves… I think people try way too hard to be like society so that they can fit in and be “successful”. Perhaps you’ll be MORE successful if you’re ANTI adult? If we all have an “inner child” then wouldn’t we be real with ourselves if we let that child manifest itself in our daily lives? (By the way, I’m not negating the need for responsibility!)

Cory… you’re 16 dude! Love God, love people and have FUN!

Comment on So, what about online giving? by Brad-Steward-eGive

Wow! This topic is close to my heart. I am the steward of a service called eGive so I have a pro online giving view. I see people use electronic giving a number of ways but I’d like to post a quote from Bruce. ” Thanks for the great service you provide. I used to think that I needed to place my gift in the basket every week for it to feel like I was doing something good. But then when a guy finds himself unable to attend, he falls behind very quickly, and then has to try to figure out how to catch up. But with eGive, my gift is there even when I can’t be. And I am up to date on my giving, always.”

Some of the churches that use our service receive over 60% of the giving electronically. Cultures change… Livestock and produce used to be the way people gave. Checks, online giving and the donation of stocks and other property are relatively recent developments.

I believe that honoring God with the first fruits of your labor and giving with joy from your heart is the main thing. Any way you can do that is how it should be done. The best time to do something the Lord leads you to do is right away. With the Internet available 24 x 7 giving in that manner is possible. I believe that God is honored by a digital tithe and offering as long as it is offered joyfully from the heart with love. God’s Grace, Peace and Blessings To you! Brad

Comment on Church & Non-Profit Explained (Part 3) by Terry Ehlmann

can a non-profit organization pay in anyway to insure their employees will be able to collect unemployement in case of downsizing?

Just because the state does not require you to pay, shouldn’t you be able to?

Comment on I Said, “Hey Lama”… by Kristen

My favorite line of the movie . . .
“Not golfers, you great fool! Gophers! The little, brown, furry rodents!”

Of course, you have to say it with the correct accent.

I love that we have the Murray Bros. Caddy Shack Restaurant right down the road in St. Augustine!
