If you live in Alabama you’ll be aware of an odd relation between the weather and the grocery store. For some reason, if there is the slightest possibility of snow (and by snow we mean any visible flakes, regardless of whether they ’stick’ or not) you must rush to the grocery store to buy a [...]

Linux for the small church
Posted in Pastoring on February 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I have recently installed linux on my old laptop and I’m loving it. I’m keeping Windows on my main computer until I finish writing my thesis, but from what I’ve seen Kubuntu (a type of linux) could easily replace windows and there is software for everthing I need to do.

I met Dr. Tom Whatley, currently interim pastor at First Baptist Church in Tuscumbia, this evening. He made a great comment about country churches. He said that when he was in seminary, when a nice Mayflower moving truck with professional movers came to take a new graduate to a church he would tell everyone [...]
