Hey! We have a blog!

Yeah, its been a while. But in all fairness, a lot has happened in a month...or two.
*We had a week with 3 birthdays, Halloween, a ministry project on Northgate on Halloween (Costumed drunk people are funny), and a church worship service. I don't recommend this regularly.
*An early start to Christmas lights, as we got ripped off on Christmas last year due to moving in December and other things.
*A small incident involving a moose adorned with Christmas lights, and a human finger.
*Another small incident involving a car door and another human finger, same day.
*And I have had nothing to say.

Sooooo, food for thought. One other thing that happened was an historic election, in which many of our conservative friends concerned about socialism rising in the US had a minor meltdown. This is understandable, but the food for thought is this: If the Church had done a better job of caring for the poor, would the socialist programs we are now faced with ever have been needed?

What can the church do, you ask? Look at Rockdale, TX, where the major employer in town closed, creating vast unemployment. The Ministerial alliance there did not look to government for a bailout, they did what many churches would never do: Held a benefit for the unemployed workers to raise money for their families while they searched for employment.

I applaud these ministers for sharing the love of Christ by first meeting the needs of those nearest to them.
