Some Quotes from the Vintage Faith Website
Dan Kimball’s website has the neat little”quote rotation” in the top image. Neat pics, too! Here are a couple of the quotes…

�Whenever I meet a Buddhist leader, I meet a holy man. Whenever I meet a Christian leader, I meet a manager.�
– An observation from a Japanese businessman

�I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.�
– Mahatma Gandhi

Sally Morgenthaler on Getting Out of the Ghetto
“If we can’t live the sacred journey with Christ daily and are not actively drawing others into that journey – way outside the worship center or sanctuary and outside our stained-glass or silk-plant ghettos – we can’t expect to do it in an hour on Sunday morning or Wednesday night.”

Oh, One More Thing…
One of my real “buddies” at the last place said to me tonight, “You know…all five members of our pastor search committee are here tonight. Could we have your resume?” He knows it’ll never happen – mostly on their part, but it was sure kind of nice to be “stroked!”

Handshakes and Hugs All Around!
What a day! After a full day of Stonecrest, I went to a church “down the road” to participate in a “revival” service along with the choir and musicians from my former church, First Baptist Chattahoochee. It was old home week, for sure! Nice to know someone misses you and acts like they care about you. Good service…remembered how much I love just getting up there, opening the Word, and letting it fly! No PowerPoint to fool with, no image thing, no nothing…just preaching! Harks back to a bygone era, I know, but it’s kind of in my blood!

Winter has returned here..at least for a day or so!
