Reading part of your book seem as if you are writing about me. Pastor have it very hard in the ministry and many people just don’t understand. Nor value the gift which God has gaven the church. The sad thing is training to serve people is very hard and the reward some time is very painful.

We are one of the crazy lunatics that church planted with no association or other supporting church. Somehow we have survived 11 years but I can't exactly explain how we have done so. It has really been a challenge in some ways but amazingly awesome in other ways. Growing up in a specific denomination, we only knew how to do church one way. Planting a church forced us to look at things with a fresh perspective and think through why we do the things we do. Would love to get a hold of the book you referenced.

I saw this sign in south Alabama one year on the way to the beach in Florida. It was a small little center block building.

the sign: Call 911. This Church is on Fire!

I usually get angry at stupid church signs, but this one made me laught out loud.

I live at the beach. I went running one day and saw my favorite church sign. "Don't get burnt, use Son screen." When I informed my wife of this she said, "Well what would they say about someone who gets sun poisoning?"

Thanks for the post today Jon. It’s fun to hang out where the readers have a sense of humor. The sticks they use at other blogs are painful.

My favorite all time church name, by the way, is The Flippin Church of God in Flippin, AR. That’s right, you can’t make this stuff up.
