Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Church Of The Future



Could this be what your church service looks like in the next decade ... or maybe sooner?

PASTOR: "Praise the Lord!"     
CONGREGATION: "Hallelujah!"     
PASTOR: "Will everyone please turn on their tablet, PC, iPad, smart phone,  and Kindle Bibles to 1 Corinthians 13:13. And please switch on your Bluetooth to download the sermon."     
P-a-u-s-e......     
"Now, let us pray committing this week into God's hands. Open your Apps, BBM, Twitter and Facebook, and chat with God"     
S-i-l-e-n-c-e     
"As we take our tithes and offerings, please have your credit and debit cards ready."     
"Please log on to the church wi-fi using the password 'Lord909887. ' "     
"Please use your iPad to make your electronic fund transfers directly to the church account.  Or if you prefer, the ushers will circulate mobile card swipe machines among the pews. If you forgot to bring an electronic device, you are directed to computers and laptops at the rear of the church. Those  who prefer telephone banking, take out your cellphones to transfer your contributions to the church account."    
The holy atmosphere of the Church becomes truly electrified as ALL the smart  phones, iPads, PCs and laptops beep and flicker!     
Final Blessing and Closing Announcements: "This week's ministry cell meetings will be held on the various Facebook group pages where the usual group chatting takes place. Please log in and don't miss out. Thursday's Bible study will be held live on Skype at 1900hrs GMT. Please don't miss  out. You can follow your Pastor on Twitter this weekend for counseling and  prayers. God bless you and have a nice day.
