    What Happened to Yesterday’s Buzz?
    No internet connection.  That stinks.  Had stuff all ready to go, but couldn’t publish it.  I hate when that happens.

    What’s Happening to Next Week’s Buzz?
    I’m off for vacation next week, so I’ve decided to go on a blogging fast.  I just realized that I’ve never taken a break from the blog, even on vacation.  That’s three years of constant posting.  So, I figured I needed a little break.  So… don’t be surprised when you come next week and see a vacation sign posted here.  They say absense makes the heart grow fonder… we’ll see if that applies to blogs.  Actually, I’m looking forward to some extended time away with the family… just relaxing!

    What are You Doing All Week Since You’re Not Teaching?
    Here’s how one pastor answered this question:  “I thought pastors invited guest teachers only when they were out of town or sick. You’re here...why are you not teaching?  Do you miss teaching? Are you bored? Was this your choice or were you told that you had to get others to come in and teach?” Here’s the link…

    Horses Against Mega-church
    Two more reasons for not having a mega-church in your community:  1.  The good-ole-boys network; and 2.  I can’t subject my horses to this.  Watch the video here.

    Bad Domain Name Choice
    I just got an email from the Church Solutions Conference and Expo asking me if I’d like to be a vendor.  Am I just a pervert, or did someone not really see this when they picked the domain name:  http://www.churchsolutionsexpo.com/.

    New York Church Wipes Butts Off Building
    A toilet company that had planned to put up a billboard depicting naked backsides on the side of a church has apparently turned the other cheek.  In an announcement on Monday, the pastor of the Times Square Church in Manhattan and representatives from the Toto toilet-maker explained that they had reached a settlement over the billboard.  The ad will now keep its place on the outside of the megachurch, but company heads have agreed to cover the naked buttocks with a white band that runs the length of the advertisement.  “This is our bottom line,” will be placed along the blank space. “Clean is happy. No ifs, ands, or ...” The Toto company had planned on putting a giant billboard promoting their Washlet – a bidet toilet that cleans a person’s rear-end via water and warm air – by showing exposed bottoms with smiley faces on them. The racy ad would be placed on the same building as the Times Square Church.  The pastor of the 8,000-member church, Pastor Neil Rhodes, (no relation) objected to the ad, however, explaining that it would not be good for congregants to look at nudity as they go to church.  “You walk into a church building, you have naked bodies before your eyes – how are you going to close your eyes and seek God?” asked Rhodes (again, no relation) in the New York Post. “It’s wrong as far as we’re concerned.” More here.

    You Can’t Make This Stuff Up Folks...
    A Baptist minister has been charged in Tennessee with indecent exposure and driving under the influence.  Police said 58-year-old Tommy Tester of Bristol, Va., was wearing a skirt when he was arrested last week after allegedly relieving himself in front of children at a car wash.  A report also accuses Tester of offering police officers oral sex and says an open bottle of vodka and empty oxycodone prescription bottle was found in his car when Tester was arrested Friday.  Authorities identified Tester as the minister of Gospel Baptist Church in Bristol and an employee of Christian radio station WZAP-AM, also in Bristol.  Source. HT:  Jason.  Wonder what he preached on Sunday?

    Thankfully… that’s it for today!  Make it a great one!
