Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1.  Tom and Anne both beat me to the movie theatre bright and early this morning. But then again I was about 8 minutes late (arriving at 7:38 AM). According to Tom and Anne the theatre was unlocked and ready for us to roll as soon as we arrived. I think Pastor Travis got that ‘locked-out’ problem resolved within the new lease agreement.

2.  Lisa has some cool ideas for the ‘Kid’s Life’ registration desk, so that makes us work even harder over at the ‘Visitor Center’. The think tank was at work again this morning. We decided that we want a red carpet that we can roll out straight from the ‘Visitor Center’ clear out to the front door. Anne stated that she would ‘look in’ to the ambitious idea.

3.  I think that we may have set a new attendance record for the 9:00 service (approaching 90), and if you were at the 10:30 service and tried to find a seat at around 10:40 then you were probably searching hard for one. I think that we shattered the ‘400’ mark in overall attendance at Life Pointe Church this morning. We may have even come close to 450 !

4.  We kicked-off a brand new message series this morning entitled ‘(un)christian’. Our church body collectively apologized for those times in which the name of Jesus was manipulated by unprincipled religious leaders, for those times in which we have been abused by church people, for those times in which we were judged without concern for who we are, for those times in which we were duped or taken advantage of by a Christian, for those times in which we were shown Scriptures selectively without concern for the whole counsel of the Bible, and for those times in which we were not loved by followers of Jesus. We apologized. We forgave.

5.  About 100 of us met over at Homestead Bayfront Park this afternoon for a nice picnic and water baptism. I think we had about 250 pounds of delicious food available for consumption, so anyone that was on a diet probably took about a 3-hour hiatus from their diet so that they could join in on the MASSIVE feast. Don’t bother weighing yourselves tonight. You can resume your diet in the morning.

I’ll be on vacation next weekend over in the Fort Myers area, and I’m planning to attend a church service over there on Sunday morning. I’ll have a special edition of the ‘Tossed Salad’ next Sunday night regarding my experiences over there. I’ll be back at Life Pointe on the 24TH of February.

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

Last Thursday night we realized that our cell phones would not be instantly inundated with calls from telemarketers if we did not submit our number to the National Do Not Call Registry before a certain deadline. That was (and still is) an Internet hoax.

This Thursday night it’s all about an Amber Alert for a missing 15-year-old boy by the name of Evan Trembley. You are urged to forward an E-Mail (and accompanying picture of Evan) to everyone that you know so that someone – anyone could find him and return him to his Mom.

The fact of the matter is that Evan is a real person, and he is also fine and well. It was actually he himself who started this Internet hoax last Summer (2007) in an effort to become famous online to impress his friends. It worked. He is now Internationally-known. Just don’t go looking for him – unless you live in his neighbourhood.

Read all about this Internet hoax at About.com: Urban Legends.

DON’T believe everything that you read within your E-Mail Inbox. If it doesn’t sound right then it probably isn’t true. If you receive an E-Mail that states that you should forward it on to everyone that you know then that should be the tip-off right there that you are dealing with an Internet hoax. Kill the hoax. Hit the DELETE key !

This is not me.

This is not me; however, if I ever feel the need to register a trademark with the United States Patent & Trademark Office then I can’t think of a better lawyer to represent me than one who has the same name as me.

I once thought about registering ‘MASSIVESMASH.COM‘, ‘Major Hitwaves’, and ‘The Major’ back when my web site was flying high at its peak about a decade ago, but I never followed through with it past the ‘thinking about it’ stage. Once upon a time the ‘MASSIVESMASH.COM’ domain name was worth tens of thousands of dollars, but then the ‘dot-com’ bubble popped. Nowadays the domain name is probably worth a mere hundred or so dollars. I was criticized back then for not selling out my identity on the web. I’m glad that I held strong and kept it. It was a fun 12-year ride, but this blog right here is my new passion.
