commenting…

by Rhett Smith on May 31, 2006

I hated to do this, but I installed Typekey last night because spam has been killing me. Besides the 300 plus spam that is filtered out everyday, I have to delete another 200 or so. That just takes up way too much time that I don’t have. Commenting is very important to me and I [...]

My post 1am reflection…for what it’s worth!

by Rhett Smith on May 31, 2006

It’s 1:03 am and I was just thinking and reflecting on this verse. I know that as the school year winds down and many of my students ponder their uncertain futures, this time of life can present itself with a lot of anxiety. And often to calm people’s anxieties we “toss” Bible verses at them, [...]

Rich Kirkpatrick has a great post, Crowdsourcing: New Way to Look at Church Volunteers. Rich reflects on an article in Wired Magazine and how it may apply to church volunteers. Technology continues to influence our lives in many ways and it is going to transform how we minister.

a few notes….

by Rhett Smith on May 30, 2006

Yeah, I exactly haven’t been posting much the last few weeks. These last few weeks have been absolutely nuts, and I am hoping that as soon as my quarter ends (this week) I will be able to pick up the pace and post daily. I am excited that the God Blog Conference website is up [...]

“Serving the University”

by Rhett Smith on May 26, 2006

Chris Gonzalez has got some great posts on Serving the University over at his site. Chris pastors a college group that serves primarily Arizona State University. That is a huge campus, and so I respect very much the great work Chris has done in bringing Christ’s love to ASU.

by Rhett Smith on May 26, 2006

Mark Driscoll has posted a blog on Death by Ministry. In it he looks at “Some Statistics”, “Some Signs”, “Some Solutions.” Great stuff. I have tried really hard recently to not let technology rule my life. In fact, I posted this last week regarding my struggle to use technology, but not to be ruled or [...]

Brian has had enough….

by Rhett Smith on May 26, 2006

My friend Brian has had about enough of people talking crap about John MacArthur. Brian was in our college ministry when he was a senior. He later became my intern after he graduated from college while he was attending seminary at John MacArthur’s The Master’s Seminary. Brian is a great guy and did a wonderful [...]

David Plotz over at Slate Magazine is doing a series called “Blogging the Bible.” I have always wanted to do this myself, so I am interested in reading his observations. Plotz who describes himself as a “proud Jew, but never a terribly observant one, ” became interested in doing this when he read the story [...]
