Just a quick check-in with you. I have a few
things going on over the next couple of days. The second half of the
Foy
story is almost finished. I'll have it online soon.
Tom
is now a minister at our church, which is a very cool thing for a number of
reasons. Perhaps God isn't through with Tom being a minister. I say he's a
minister at our church, but we don't have any extra money to pay him
anything...yet. Maybe we'll figure that part out as we go. Anyway, he and I are
leaving today to head to Dallas to see what
Texas Baptists as a whole are up to. Kind
of a road trip for ministers, you might say. To be honest I have a hard time
caring what ANY large group of Christians are doing. I'm thinking small these
days, limiting my energy and concern for what my own community is called to do.
I don't mean that I don't care about the other stuff, it just seems like a waste
of your life to invest too much of it in large organizations. They will always
break your heart.
Netflix
is out and
Blockbuster is in. Now that Netflix has
been found to engage in "throttling," the service doesn't make as much
sense. I noticed this before the lawsuit. I used to have movies around all the time, and then
not so much. Let me tell you why Blockbuster is the way to go. They have a new
program. You can turn in your online movie rentals at any Blockbuster store,
where they scan them. The online service reads that scan immediately and your
movie is marked as returned. The next movie in your queue is marked for
shipping. And the big news...wait for it...they give you a free movie rental for
each online movie that you turn in at a store. First run movies included. If you
have a Blockbuster store near you, this effectively doubles the number of movies
you can rent.
My wife's collection of soulful
jewelry is just about ready to go online. Ten pieces are in the
first offering; all of them are one-of-a-kind things. Most of the Anglican
Rosaries can also be worn as a necklace. We're just finalizing pricing and
getting the shopping cart setup.
This is a pretty exciting thing for me. Jeanene
is very creative, and this is a wonderful outlet for her.
