Still here...

I've been thinking about getting back to the blog. It's not really the "thing" now that Facebook is out there. But sometimes I have a thoughts I think are worth sharing. I guess for now just stay tuned. I did start a book blog at pastormikesbooks.blogspot.com but I'm yet to post. You can look for that as well.

I did just add online giving to the cornerstone site. That's worth reporting.

God bless and peace to who's listening!

Merry Christmas!

Peace and blessings to you and yours this special time of year.
Pastor Mike

I haven't forgot the blog!

Ok...so I'm not posting like I should. What can I say? I'm busy having conversations with real people (at least ones I can see and not those on the other end of a data connection). I'll try to do better. In the mean time, take note...

Impossibly Good Finances - April 25
Did you know that God actually has a lot to say about money? Don't worry, this isn't a ploy to get you to give, it's about restructuring your priorities. God has some great money management advice. Especially in tough times, we can all use some money wisdom.

Impossibly Good Pursuits - May 2
