Smart Pastor

OUTREACH

• How will your church take advantage of the 81 minutes a day people are available?  Do you think you could do a regular "podcast" for your church members?

POLITICS

• I am starting to agree with E. J. Dionne that Mitt Romney has a chance to be the Republican nominee for President.  There is a good (and spirited!) conversation going on over here about voting for a Mormon. 
• There they go again. The "God Hates Fags" crowd is blaming the bridge collapse in Minnesota on their tolerance of homosexuality. 

BECAUSE WE HAVE TO COPY EVERY GOOD IDEA

• Proving once again that Christians struggle thinking for themselves, we now have God Tube.  Read about it on Mashable.  (Great story title – Upload if you love Jesus)

PRODUCTIVITY (and sanity!)

• We are bombarded every day with information.  We are overloaded.  So do yourself a favor and learn how to deal with information overload.

ENTERTAINMENT

• I used to be a big Harrison Ford fan.  But did you know that Nick Nolte turned down the role of both Han Solo and Indiana Jones – both signature films for Ford?  Read about other movies and the stars that turned down roles in them.  I think their is an illustration about God’s perfect direction in here somewhere.

FROM THE I WAS ONCE LOST…WELL….ACTUALLY I WAS NEVER LOST I WAS JUST HIDING FILE

• The wife of an Alabama minister missing for more than four months has been located by police unharmed and working under an alias at a fast-food restaurant in New York state, authorities said Monday.  (via The Provocative Church)

BECAUSE I CAN NOT HELP BUT LAUGH

• Suzanne Marie Butts (yes, that is really her name…bummer huh?) is in trouble for stealing toliet paper.  And she needs your help.  Link:  Save Suzanne Marie Butts
