I have deleted the post which dealt with an issue which has been circulating the net regarding a well known pastor.
Would I want people talking about me if this happened to me? No.
It is not a hypothetical issue, it is a real person.
I am not judging others who talked about it. I wanted to!
But I just don’t want it on my blog.
We have all heard the rumours, people not getting jobs, or losing them, because of a potential boss, or present boss, ‘googling’ them.
You are probably on the net, even if you dont think you are, even if you are just in the ‘white pages’.
Be careful what you post!
Probably more than 70% of the people visiting our church tell me they come because of our church internet site, or at the least, visit the site before they visit the church.
I imagine the internet savvy of them google “Pastor Mark Edwards’ afterwards! No doubt they will find this blog….
If you find yourself posting comments on other people’s blogs, or you are on facebook..or whevever…and people want to find out who you are, they will! As I found out yesterday, you can nearly always find out who someone is if you want to.
I know they lost, but with 10 players who have played under ten games, and two new players, they did well against Port away.
Tarrant in particular ‘owned’ Tredrea, and it was good to see the rookies do really well.
For those of you who dont know, which is probably a lot of us, the National Basketball Competition in Australia is in serious danger of folding.
In my view, the decline really started when television stopped broadcasting the games. Now you would think that this would stop people from going, because they could just stay at home and watch it. But no, seeing part of the game, made people want to experience the whole.
What lessons or applications are there for a church that is not big enough to have its services broadcast on free to air television?
I think in this age of easily uploadable video, there are some applications.
“Kiss me and kiss me again, for your love is sweeter than wine. How fragrant your cologne; your name is like its spreading fragrance. No wonder all the young women love you! Take me with you; come, let’s run! You have brought me into your bedroom.”
No….this is not the latest Brittney Spears perfume advertisement,
nor is it the latest song from Lady Gaga…..
Its the piece of scripture I am speaking from this week……
The media have gotten themself into a sanctimonious lather over the latest Ben Cousins incident. Cousins ‘pulled the bird’ at the camera before the Fremantle v Richmond game on Saturday night. He is clearly shown directing his attention at the camera in the changerooms at Subiaco.
