I received some constructive criticism this week about our church website. The criticism suggested that we should not be spending any money on a website for the church. Instead, the money could be spent elsewhere for better purposes.
My first instinct was to disregard the criticism. Then I thought about it. Imagine that, me actually thinking. So I took a trip over to my Facebook page and The Buller Blogshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11989493397428498535noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276386571006628970.post-26911943320962642802009-11-02T12:05:00.002-10:002009-11-02T12:21:34.652-10:00Halloween Apples

It's been awhile since I've seen such passionate responses to a question I posed on facebook. The question: "Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?"

The "San Diego Zoo" and "Wild Animal Park" are two fascinating places our family visited on a recent trip to the mainland. I could've sat and watched the Gorillas for hours, the meerkats were hilarious and the elephants were quite simply impressively enormous.
Something else struck me about my time with the animals. There were a number of animals we saw that were on the verge of extinction.

Ever wonder what we expect from God when we come to church on Sunday mornings? Maybe, just maybe, it's time for us to come with Him in mind more than ourselves in mind. What do you think? Take this with a grain of salt. It's not intended to offend.

Not only the networks of all political persuasions that come to mind, but the mindset they represent... When I was growing up, Eyewitness News always found a house on fire in South Buffalo.

As we were relaxing in Gods creation I watched the Kite Surfers who on a very windy day seemed to be flying across the ocean on the power of the God sent wind.
