From Sojourners:
Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit.
– Jeremiah 17:7-8Imagine a world where the representatives of the greatest military power on earth are humbled by an unarmed healer from the backwaters of Galilee. If you can imagine this kind of world, you possess…an imagination ready to discern the reign of heaven.
– Stanley Saunders
As a follow up to the “Mr Way too Proud of Texas Guy” from Budweiser, the Rick Perry campaign is about to drop a new radio ad against Chris Bell. It goes to show you that the Republican campaign has a sense of humor too.
It is absolutely hilarious.
I may have to vote for Perry just for releasing this ad.

This is AWESOME! From CMS:
This is what church is supposed to be.
Gateway Community Church in South Riding, Va. had “The Big Event” on Sunday, October 15. Instead of a typical Sunday morning worship service, the congregation went out and did volunteer work for 61 area homes. One member even blogged about the experience.
The event included business sponsors, a web site and balloons and yard signs to mark the “winners”–the homes that received the free work. While all those extras help maximize the impact of the event, I just love the simple idea.
I hear people tell me all the time that they don’t know what they’d blog about.
Everyone has something interesting to say.
There are 1 million stories in the naked city every night – or so they say.
But the key is to write about what you’re passionate about.
I love doing a random check over at technorati or other sites to see what keywords pop up in my blog posts.
You can see right away what I write the most about and by reading my blog you can probably tell very easily what my passions are. I write about things I’m passionate about.
If you’re passionate about your pets, write about your pets. If you’re passionate about your job, write about your job. If you’re passionate about health care or politics or your church or your God, write about it.
ChurchCommunicationsPro has started a new series for pastors who need to be blogging.
It’s got some great pointers for “the rest of us” as well.
Some of the posts include:
The site also has 5 questions with 44 different blogging pastors that are each great reads.
Check it out and pass it along to your pastor. It will be well worth it.
From the BBC (the real story):
Attack on Nigeria oil facilities
A group of protesters have invaded three Shell oil stations in the Niger Delta, forcing the facilities to be shut down, the company said.
The demonstrators are accusing the oil giant of failing to fulfil an agreement to provide them with aid.
Shell refused to say how much oil had been cut off following the attack.
Militant groups have stepped up attacks on oil facilities in the region in recent months, demanding more local control of oil wealth for residents.
Shell said members of the Kula community living near the company’s Ekulama 1, Ekulama 2 and Belema oil pumping stations had invaded the facilities.
Chevron also shut down its platform in the same area as a precaution.
A Chevron spokesman in Nigeria, Femi Odumabo, said government officials in charge of the area were holding negotiations with the protesters to address their problems.
Nigeria is Africa’s biggest oil producer but militants have been demanding a greater share of the oil wealth for locals in the Niger Delta.
On Saturday seven oil workers – including four Britons – were freed after being held hostage in Nigeria.
The men were captured on 3 October when gunmen raided a residential compound housing expatriate oil workers in the Niger Delta.
