A Quick Note: Life on the Farm

Yeah, the latest news on the farm here is the unexpected birth of three white baby goats. We wanted to breed out one goat, a Saanen, but we didn’t think anything had happened once we we had, you know, got the two goats together. 🙂 But this last week we thought that she looked pregnant. And sure enough, this morning I went out to take care of the goats, and there were 3 baby goats. So we had to take care of them before we headed off to a conference, which I’ll tell you about when I get a chance.

From “Thoughts on Mega-Churches”

First, let me explain the church I come from, and for the most part, the kind of churches I’ve grow up with. It’s the kind where everybody know everybody, or at least, at least, knows everybodys last name. There’s only two services, one in the morning, one at night. Their are very few extra programs/activities, and most of the church does things together. As in the activities aren’t divided into teen groups or whatnot, with a few practical exceptions. So thats were I’m coming from. Now, lets take a look at mega-churches. And by mega-churches, I mean churches with a congregation of around 2,000, and at least 2 services in the morning. Then they have all sorts of programs/activities/events almost everyday. Sports, music concerts, teen gatherings, you name it. Oh, and the chruch building is the size of a movie theater: not including the sanctuary. The sanctuary itself is twice the size of Carnegie Hall, with big tv screens on each side of the stage. Search "mega" to read the rest.
