Granger’s At It Again!
Brave billboards can be seen all over the South Bend Area. One says “I look at naughty web sites at work ... myofficesecrets.com.” Surprisingly, (or not surprisingly) it one belongs to Granger Community Church. “We wanted just to do something fun, get people’s attention, put a Web site on there that they might remember, so when they go home they could interact with it and find out more about what we are offering,” explained Executive Pastor Tim Stevens. The billboards and blogs are part of a five week series on how to make the most of life at work. Some say this technology is raising the bar for other churches. “It pushes the rest of us, and we may not have the resources to match what they’re doing but there are other things you can do that are creative and innovative,” said College Pastor Brent Wood.

Stop complaining or stop calling yourself a Christian!!
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life — in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.” (Philippians 2:14-16 NIV) FATHER; Help me be the man of God that I so desperately want to be. I admit that I can go negative in a heart beat when I am attacked and that is unacceptable. Help me love people who are rude and biting in their response to me. Help me “walk a mile in their shoes.” Help me love people like you do and see the potential in the most annoying person I will meet today. Let your love shine through me at all times and in every situational that I will be facing today! Let me live like love is stronger than hate, grace is stronger than anger, and that gratitude is mightier than greed. SOURCE: David Foster.tv

Woman Covers Her House with “Messages From God”
Estrella Benavides, who owns homes in San Mateo and Belmont, CA, was fined $5,000 for violating the city’s sign ordinance by painting her home. Check it out for yourself and see if you think she should have been fined…
Well... Granger is at it again, polluting the South Bend area with immoral billboards that say things like, "I look at naughty web sites at work." OK, the billboards aren't immoral; and it's really not polluting anything... but there will for sure be more protests over Granger's new "MyOfficeSecrets.com" campaign. You gotta love it. Also today... either stop complaining or stop calling yourself a Christian; an interesting quote from the late Lady Diana; the schedule is released for this year's Outreach Convention; and meet a woman who has covered her house with 'messages from God'.

If for no other reason, Estrella should be fined for run-on sentences and all around poor grammar in a public place.

I love David Foster’s thoughts here.
And I’d love to say something about the Diana comment but it would be totally inappropriate.
