A Great Idea!

I know what your thinking. I didn't invent anything and I'm not going to make a million, YET. It's not even my idea.

Our church or pastor has decided to make hundreds of t-shirts that say "The church has left the building", the shirt looks pretty cool too. Instead of selling them to the members, he is going to give them to whoever wants one; under one condition. You have to do random good deeds to people you don't know or you have to give away a total of $20 to random people in the community as a gift from God.

We are to tell them it is our way of showing how much God loves them and the free money is kinda like the free gift of eternal life, you simple have to accept it. Or you can simply buy the guy's coffee standing behind you in the gas station, (20 times). Or buy the guy's food in front of you at McDonald's (4 times).

I think this is very cool. The pastor is not only getting the members involved in witnessing, but he is trusting God with the expense of those shirts. That's what I call a good ministry. A lot of prayer, and faith, a simple plan, a good motivator, trusting God with the money, and it is totally up to the Holy Spirit to bring glory to God.

I'm very excited about it, yet also scared. I don't enjoy being looked at like a freak giving away money or having people think I'm behind some big plot to swindle thousands from their checking account. But that's my problem.

Other than that Christine and I have had a great week, and we are planning on going to the symphony Saturday night in Key West. I'm in the middle of inviting people to our Super Bowl party, which I just had to have. If a man has a 7 ft x 5 ft TV screen with TIVO capabilities and loves the NFL, it's about as close to a sin as you can get, if he doesn't invite folks over to enjoy what God has blessed him with.
