hodge 6 #1 Posted October 4, 2009 I have started my new job, as youth pastor/associate pastor at our church. One of my responsibilities is to put up the church sign. This is unique for me, because I have a pet peave about church signs that are cutesy or insulting- cute phrases that are play on words, etc. To me, they seem more to insult than inspire. So, I really appreciate a church sign that is thoughtful, mature, and spiritual. Now, I am the one coming up with ideas, and I don't want to be hipocritical! One of my favorites, which I have never forgotten, is "You can't change the wind, but you can adjust your sails". Well put- you can't control lifes circumstances, but you are in control of how you respond to life. Anybody with their own favorites? I promise that I won't make fun or think less of anyone- if it is good, I probably will use it sometime on our board. One more thing, and I do mean this sincerely- I love and appreciate you folks. This is a unique environment- building relationships and seeking wisdom from people that, in most cases, we don't meet. God's grace is here also, and meaningful friendships can be made. Blessings to you all. In Christ, Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W9JAB 156 #5 Posted October 9, 2009 As a Pastor maybe you can answer this burning question, An I hope I don't burn in HELL for asking it! Is it true that at Easter, if Jesus goes out of the tomb and see's his shadow, you have six more weeks to take down your Charismas lights? :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick 13 #10 Posted October 17, 2009 Just found a card hung on the door with info for a small local church and a 9 volt battery was with it. Card in with the battery said "Just as your smoke alarm needs power to run, we need God in our life to run right". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkopp 1 #13 Posted October 19, 2009 This may be off the beaten path of the discussion, but if you ever put together a pulling tractor I have a suggestion for a name for it. Glory Bound ...pulling for Jesus, 'cause He pulled for me. I know the Glory Bound name is not original but it's just a thought. God Bless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
