I just noticed that my last post was my 1000th post! That makes this post #1001. When I started this blog I had no idea that I would be writing 1000 posts! That’s insane. The cool thing is that I’m confident that at least three of the posts have been worth reading! :) To my faithful readers, thanks for hanging with me.

Pardon My Geekiness But…Posted by: Tony in General  (2 votes, average: 4 out of 5) Loading ...OH YEAH! I was happy for all the Star Wars fans when the new movies started rolling out. This, however, is something else entirely. I’ve been a Star Trek fan since I was a little kid and this trailer has got me stoked. I’m still a little cautious about this prequel but it seems that JJ Abrams is making all the right moves. The official web site is coming along nicely too. Check it out here. Guys, don’t forget about the men’s movie night this Friday. See the details here and let me know if you plan on coming. Remember, we’re going to be seeing the new Star Trek trailer along with movie.

PermanencePosted by: Tony in For Pastors, General, Leadership (5 votes, average: 4.8 out of 5) Loading ...
I thank God that He doesn’t give something only to take it back later. Unlike us, He doesn’t think better of something after the decision is made or the gift is given. He already knows everything and every decision He makes is perfect so when He gives you a gift it’s given forever. When He calls you, He calls you forever. In the Old Testament, the Levites were called to be God’s priests. Interestingly, that means that they were born into this role. They didn’t choose the call. They could only decide whether to respond to it or not. The cool thing is that they could never not be Levis. They could decide to not fulfill their priestly duties but they could never un-levi themselves. Thankfully, God looks at those of us in the ministry the same way. We may have “accepted the call” late in life but we’ve been called from the moment we were born and, from God’s perspective, we can never be un-called. We are a chosen people with permanent gifts and permanent calls. Honestly, there are days when I wish I wasn’t called. There are times when I wish I didn’t have a gift/urge/passion/need to teach the Bible and lead. I sometimes wish that I had a more “normal” life but those times are usually when I’m tired or confused or weary. The reality is that I don’t know what I’d do if He took His gifts or His calling back. It’s a privilege and I know it. I’m so very thankful that even though I might fuss and fume and fight Him about it at times, He never withdraws His gifts or callings. Thankfully, they are permanent. Fusioneers, I’m curious. If you could pick one topic for me to teach about one Sunday, what would it be? Hey fusioneers, please take a minute and check this out. I’m going to buy a uniform. Will you join me? Let’s get behind this great pastor and this great cause. Let’s make a difference. I got hammered by people asking me for the recipe for our salsa yesterday after the service so here you go. The McCollum Family Salsa 1 handful fresh cilantro Combine all ingredients in a food processor or electric blender. Pulse until the salsa is to your desired consistency. Refrigerate several hours before serving. (Makes about 5 cups.)

Somebody really should call NBC and let them know that ER is still on the air every week. I know they are going to be so embarrassed to learn that it’s been on the air since 94 and nobody remembered to turn it off but the call still needs to be made.
