Ministry Today proudly presents Greenelines, a new blog from Dr. Steve Greene.
Dr. Greene writes on a wide range of topics important to leaders, church administrators and young leaders in development.
He has lead business organizations, served as a dean of a college of business and lead as a senior pastor. Greene's primary focus is to equip the leaders of saints.

Everywhere I go, I hear that song playing. It's on TV, radio, at ball games, in convenient stores—all over.
It's gotten stuck in my head. So I started thinking on the title and reflecting on past experiences and conversations.
I started thinking about how many pastors stay up late Saturday night working on their Sunday morning message, hoping to get "lucky." Hoping they will deliver and come through with excellence. Friends, it doesn't work like that.
Artie Davis: The Winner, the Whiner and the Wayward
"They have eyes, and yet they don't see."
Many leaders don't see the fruit that is about to manifest in those around them. All they can see is the tree. A tree can look strong, weak, ugly or handsome, but that's just the tree. The real test is what will it put forth.
Especially in a small town, I've found there are three kinds of people (trees) that I have to constantly be on the lookout for in order for our church to go where God intends it to go. They are:
8 Relationships Leaders Can't Live Without
Being a leader is not easy. Not by a long shot. In fact, with all of the hard work and criticism we face, sometimes it can feel like a lonely, thankless job. At the same time, we were never made to go this alone.
Here are eight relationships you can't live without as a leader:
1. Mentor. Having someone who believes in you and cares deeply for your life as a whole is vital to your success as a leader. I can't imagine my life without the mentors God has given me. If you don't have a mentor, don't wait for one to come to you. Seek one out.
Look for someone who is a believer in others and will take time for you and look to your interests.
7 Casualties of a People-Pleaser in Leadership
Leadership is hard and every decision a leader makes is subject to opinion—lots of different opinions. Every hard decision a leader makes excites some and upsets others. At the same time, most of us who have positions of leadership want people to like us personally and in our role as a leader.
That leads many leaders into becoming victims of people pleasing. When we fall prey to pleasing people as a goal, we seldom lead people into what is best and are led more by opinion polls than vision.
Every pastor and leader I know agrees that people pleasing is not a good quality for a leader. Talking with hundreds of pastors every year, however, I'd have to say that this has to be one of the most frequent weaknesses pastors admit to me. For the pastor, when our aim is to please people, many times we are motivated more by what people want than even what God wants for the church. That's dangerous. Hopefully I don't have to build that case.
Competition Brings Division in the Body of Christ
Did you know there is a very common word that is used in our culture that you cannot find in the Bible? It is the word competition. Jesus never talked about it, but He did talk about the opposite of that word.
What is the greatest catalyst that allows the unsaved to make a decision for Jesus Christ? It isn't prayer, though this is important. It isn't good deeds, though deeds indicate a fruitful relationship with God. It isn't good behavior, though Christ commands us to be obedient as sons.
5 Ways to View and Relate to Youth as Jesus Did
I've learned that relating to students is more about what you do than who you are. I wrote a post a while ago called "The Bs to Being a Great Youth Leader," and it was about clearing up the misconceptions of what a youth leader has to be in order to relate to students. I believe the misconceptions of who a youth leader has to be cheapens youth ministry in general.
I believe the focus of a youth minister should be on what they do and not on who they are. Because I believe youth ministry is mostly about relationships, the fact that God created us to be in relationship with Him plays a huge part in that idea. Jesus was a walking relational powerhouse.
How Much Time Does the Above-Average Leader Spend in Prayer?
I've never considered being called average a compliment. I think it means you're just as close to the bottom as on top.
I don't believe God meant for you to be average. I don't think God meant for you to live a so-so or bland, mediocre life. As a leader, I don't think God intends for you to be an average leader.
I believe every human being was designed for excellence—that you're not one in a million; you're one in 5 billion. And as the book In Search of Excellence states, "The average person desires to be excellent in many different ways." There is no one else like you in the universe.
Seek Out the Beauty of Youth, Not the Mess
Alisha's life was a mess. Her family was dysfunctional and broken. Her past was littered with poor choices, shattered promises, substances and illicit relationships.
She hated her parents, despised authority and was angry with God ... that is, until she met some people who saw beyond her exterior and realized the beauty that lay deep inside.
When she arrived on the campus of an international boarding school in the Caribbean, she was greeted by people who refused to evaluate her by what they saw. They did not judge her by her beauty, her height, her build or her features.
How to Guard Your Flock, Even From Other Christians
This is the fourth blog post in a series (intro, Part 1, Part 2) regarding pastors developing healthy boundaries in their ministries. I'm sharing four key points in the process, thinking of them as four fence posts around a healthy ministry.
I have already shared the first two "posts": Recognize your role in the church, and pursue personal emotional health.
The next may be the hardest to implement in our culture. Also, I imagine it will generate the most disagreement. However, I think it demonstrates a biblical approach to the shepherding of a congregation, rather than turning the church into a place where a group of customers demand their area of interest be paramount.
The third post supporting a healthy ministry is guarding your flock, even if it is from other Christians.
7 Reasons Every Pastor Should Have a Blog
The title of this article may seem both presumptuous and audacious. Do I really believe every pastor should have a blog? Yes, I do.
I speak to pastors in numerous settings, and I am able to share with them the benefits of such a discipline in writing.
Understand that writing a blog can begin simple, with little time pressure. The pastor can commit to writing 400 words a week in one post. I do recommend that the number of posts increases to at least twice a week later, but you need to start somewhere.
I think you will be amazed how much the blog benefits the church and your ministry. Here are seven reasons why it is so important:
8 Confessions of Church Spies
Have you ever thought that a guest at your church might, in fact, be a spy? My church consulting company uses church "spies" to help us evaluate how churches respond to guests. Our spies are "good" spies, though, since their goal is to help a church face reality and move toward health.
Numerous spies have written us reports for more than a decade. Below are some of the most common findings they have sent us.
To be fair, the churches that invite us to work with them know they need help, so these findings should not be entirely surprising. What concerns me is the number of churches that have not yet recognized these findings characterize them too:
How to Recognize Hurting People in Your Congregation
Some of the people who sit before the pastor on Sundays have open, untreated wounds on their souls.
The church can really help them through today's ministries. Or it can damage them to the point that they will never recover.
Your work is so critical, church leaders.
If you are the pastor, your sermon can make a world of difference. If you are worship leader, the choices of hymns and choruses and Scriptures, and the manner in which they are conducted, can be a balm to those in great pain. If you teach a Sunday school class, ask the Father to go far beyond the lesson you will be commenting on and do something miraculous in the hearts and souls of all who will sit before you.
Top 10 Things Pastors Would Like to Hear From Their People
The majority of Christendom has no idea what it's like to be a pastor. Pastors think a lot about the words they use, and about the words they hope others will use.
I figure David Letterman would never get around to this, so I've developed the list. In case you've ever wondered, here are some of the words pastors dream about hearing.
Some of them are tongue-in-cheek; others are straight from the heart. I'm sure you can improve the list (Post yours below).
10. "Last week, we read that the pastor who preaches and teaches is worthy of double honor, so we're doubling your salary."
Who Is Your Target Audience for a Specific Event or Sermon?
There is a counterintuitive marketing concept that we, as pastors, should spend some time contemplating: "If you try to reach everyone, you'll reach no one."
When you are promoting an event or sermon series, who is your target audience? Are you focused on a 35-year-old man who works in construction and has two kids, or are you focused on all men who might possibly see your sign or know someone who does?
When you focus your advertising (announcement) on a particular target audience instead of trying to reach everyone possible, you create energy and momentum.
7 Questions to Ask During Youth Group Event and Program Planning
As summer is quickly coming to an end and fall is quickly approaching, I like to think about how the events or programs I oversee can be better. I also like to brainstorm new ones.
My goal is to learn from my failures with summer events so I don't repeat them in the fall. Through failure, I've grown to love the planning process a lot more.
Here are seven questions I ask myself based off events and programs I didn't think all the way through:
How Building Trust Makes Better Leaders
I've worked for bullies that demanded trust. I've worked for weaklings that demanded trust. I've worked for very few that legitimately worked to build my trust in them.
Trust, like loyalty, is a two-way street that instead often looks like people driving three cars down the wrong lane, headed in the entirely wrong direction. As a leader, one has to think of trust as something built, not won in the lottery. It's done in so many different ways.
1. Show people that you care about them. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Is that saying cliche? Yes. Is that saying correct? Yes.
12 Simple Rules for Greetings
Hello. How are you? What's up? Hey.
All of us greet differently. There is no right or wrong.
These are a few of my thoughts on greetings that might create a few laughs. Most of these are related to greetings within the office, but a few are appropriate anywhere.
Enjoy these and add more below in the comments section!
Why Your Prayers Are Not Enough
The longer I run the race of ministry, the more I realize it is prayer that keeps me going and produces results that last. It's not uncommon that as a young leader, I "ran" more than prayed. As I've matured, my understanding and practice of prayer has strengthened.
I have also learned, however, that my prayers are not enough. I need others to pray for me. In fact, I believe this so strongly that I think it's dangerous to lead in a church without having specific people pray for you with great passion and consistency.
For the past 12 years, I've had seven prayer partners—one for each day of the week. Many wonderful people pray for me at 12Stone Church, but these warriors are the ones I count on, each on their day. When I was at Skyline Church, I had 30 prayer partners, one for each day of the month.
Measuring Church Health: How Many People Will Serve?
Over the last several years, we've been collecting data from the churches with which we consult. One of the key questions we were interested in had to do with serving.
We wanted to find out how many people are volunteering in one of the church's ministries, either inside or outside the walls of the church. Here's what we've found:
The average church engages four to five people out of 10 in some sort of serving role. For the purposes of this research, we assumed kids aren't serving, and therefore they aren't included in the percentage. However, there are a few churches that are creating serving opportunities for older children as well.
3 Acceptable Excuses Killing Your Potential
It's easy to tell whether a person is giving an excuse. Whether you're a teacher, a parent or a leader, we've all heard excuses from other people that don't quite add up.
While determining the validity of someone else's excuse is fairly black and white, it's not so easy when it comes to the excuses we give ourselves. Oftentimes we give ourselves a lot more slack with our own excuses. It's taken me years to realize that the excuses I often find "acceptable" can possibly destroy the influence, leadership potential and personal growth I want to accomplish.
Here are three of the most common acceptable excuses I've found myself giving over the past few years. But I have recently realized the danger of using them:
When Should a Godly Leader Retreat?
Pastors, nowhere in Ephesians 6 are we given any protection for our backsides! I think there's a good reason for that—we aren't given permission to retreat.
So the answer to "When should a godly leader retreat?" is "Never!"
Understand, I'm not talking about repentance, a changing of the mind or an encounter of real truth, where we turn from wrong beliefs and actions. I'm talking about turning back from the God path.
An Overseer's Response to Sam Hinn's Re-Ordination (and the Restoration of Other Fallen Leaders)
Whether you recognize Sam Hinn's name or know nothing about the ministry of Benny Hinn's younger brother, there's an important issue in the body of Christ that needs to be addressed in light of Sam's "re-ordination" on Sunday night in Orlando, Fla., only eight months after he stepped down from the pulpit due to a serious moral indiscretion.
This and other recent instances—both in Orlando and around the nation—prove that we, as the church, still struggle with how to restore fallen leaders.
8 Ways to Give Definition to Your Ministry
Ministry is too important to be done haphazardly. How we're leading in the core of our churches has to do with life-changing, eternity-consequential decisions. Therefore, we need to think through what ministry is all about. Sometimes we are more strategic about our grocery lists than our approach to ministry.
"Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but many.
Why Years of Experience in Leadership Can Be Blinding
Many times, as leaders, we are blindfolded by the experience we have gained over the years. We assume everyone knows what we know, but we forget what we once didn't know.
I feel what I'm writing is elementary in the field of leadership. But what is elementary to one is high school or even college to others.
I'm not at all saying you can stop learning. That's a dangerous thing for a leader to ever do. I'm saying to be conscious of the fact that if you are a leader, chances are you've learned a few things along the way to getting where you are today.
Remember, leader:
How to Discriminate Against 'Those Other People'
This is not a good story, and I apologize in advance.
In between my sophomore and junior years in college, I worked the call-in desk for the Seaboard Railroad ticket office in Birmingham. Located downtown on 20th Street South, this was an attractive office with pleasant people.
The year was 1960 and during the heyday of Jim Crow laws. The police commissioner in the city was named Bull Connor, a man destined to make headlines a couple of years later when he turned the fire hoses on blacks (and maybe a few whites; I'm not sure) protesting the harsh laws and customs in our city.
5 Broken Views of Discipleship and How to Fix Them
There is a lot of talk about discipleship these days—and it is about time. Jesus seemed to think discipleship was a big deal, putting it as the heart—and the verb—of the Great Commission to "make disciples of all nations." Yet it seems discipleship has fallen on hard times in many churches in the West—for example, English-speaking places like the U.S., Canada, Australia and England, where there are Christians who are just not as desperate and committed as their sisters and brothers in the Two-Thirds World.
I would go so far as to say that our discipleship model is broken. I would like to suggest some areas where we are broken and hopefully provide some solutions about how to fix them.
10 Things Pastors Like Least About Their Job
Let me state the obvious: Pastors are human. That means they have preferences, likes and dislikes. So I did an unscientific Twitter poll to find out what pastors really don't like about their job.
By the way, one pastor cautioned me about calling their ministries "jobs." I understand, but it's hard to fit "God-called vocation and ministry" into a 140-character Twitter question.
I was surprised at the variety of responses. Pastors are certainly not monolithic. No one response was greater than 20 percent of the total. And I was surprised at some potential responses that did not show up.
Why Ministry Isn't Paint by Numbers
This might be nerdy, but I'm going to tell you anyway. When I was a kid, sometime in elementary school, I was given a huge paint-by-numbers kit, and I loved it. I told you it's nerdy. It was big. My memory says the picture was about two feet by three feet.
That's a lot of paint by numbers. The picture was of the Last Supper, and it contained intricate detail.
I painted for weeks and then quit. Picked it up and painted months later. It took about a year to finish.
Here's what I noticed: I enjoyed painting by numbers, but as I gained confidence, I began to mix the colors and paint my own colors and even went outside the lines. It was no da Vinci masterpiece, but it was pretty cool. I'm not sure what brought that to mind lately, but as I think about leadership, it rings true.
10 Lessons Learned in Urban Church Planting
When pastors Paul and Andi Andrew made the decision to move with their kids from Sydney to New York City to plant Liberty Church, they only knew two people in the city.
That was 2010, and just a few short years later, what started as a dream has flourished into a dynamic, growing community that is making a difference in NYC and beyond. Here are 10 lessons they learned in urban church planting while starting Liberty Church in New York City.
10 Lessons in Urban Church Planting
1. Churn. Although people tell you to expect turnover as a church plant, we discovered in New York City that it was multiplied, since millions of people move to the city just for a season of their lives. It was our biggest surprise, and as many as 30 percent of our core members left last year not because they didn't love Liberty Church but because they were moving to another city.
Are We Warriors or Are We Tourists?
The local church should be a Holy Spirit training outpost for equipping God's people to be kingdom warriors of love and servanthood on earth and to destroy the works of darkness. Instead, the local church is often operating more like a cruise ship instead of a battleship designed to equip an army.
I first met pastor Fred Hartley about five years ago when I was invited to be on a city transformation leadership team in Atlanta. Fred pastors a midsize congregation in a suburb of Atlanta and is also the founder of the College of Prayer, an international equipping ministry. Fred has written several books on prayer. He knew little about my work, but as we began getting to know one another, he took more of an interest in what I did. I shared a few of my books with him, but it was almost two years before Fred caught what I was doing and how it could impact his own local congregation. He wrote me this letter:
How to Preach With Authenticity
The kind of preaching that changes lives is from the heart to the heart, not from the head to the head. Lives are changed as we speak from our deepest pain and suffering.
Socrates was the first to explain communication in three dimensions. He talked about ethos as the speaker's character, pathos as the speaker's compassion, and logos as the speaker's content. We tend to think most about the content of a sermon, but the people to whom we are speaking perceive all three, and ethos is really the most vital of all three dimensions.
Senior Pastor Perspective: Pastor's Kids and Youth Group
Laura Ortberg Turner, daughter of John and Nancy Ortberg, has some great thoughts on what it means to be (but not really be) known as a "pastor's kid." One takeaway is the framework she felt her parents placed her and her siblings into. Turner writes:
"Had we not gotten freedom from our parents to be the people we were—to grow and learn for ourselves and even occasionally embarrass our parents, as good children do (a famed family incident at a church in Southern California that involves my then-5-year-old brother lying on his back, thrusting his pelvis to a children's worship song called 'Jumping Bean,' comes to mind)—we would likely have ended up feeling like our only two possibilities in life were becoming the mantle-bearer or the rebel."
In the Face of 'Preachers of LA,' Has the Church Become a Reality Show?
Beginning this fall, a major television network will begin airing a new reality show called Preachers of L.A. Before you continue reading this article, please view this trailer.
Though every ounce of my being is tempted to respond in condemning judgmentalism, I will obey God's command and judge not.
As with everything else, Christianity has changed in this new millennium. The question we must all ask is, Is it for the better or for the worse? Never before has the church earned such a poor reputation as we have in this generation. It appears as if the current church in America has two gods—the god of attendance and the god of money. We are seen as superficial, arrogant, self-serving, unloving and unholy.
3 Mistakes We Cannot Make in the LGBTQ Conversation
To say that issues surrounding the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer movement are sensitive to navigate would be a gross understatement. Here are three mistakes that are often made in our ministries:
1. People make "gay" jokes. Statements like, "That's gay," or, "What are you, gay?" are exactly the types of things that will repel someone who needs to have a safe place to share. This will alienate kids and make you completely unsafe to talk to. We come across as arrogant and condemning. Huge mistake.
Can the Church Still Impact Today's Culture?
George Barna reveal in a survey in 2009 that only 19 percent of Christians hold a biblical worldview and that less than 4 percent of those in their 20s hold a biblical worldview. Are we losing the culture battle? Can the church any longer impact the culture today, given such statistics that reveal the state of the church?
The church is often referred to as an institution instead of a people who love and serve society for the purpose of influencing culture. We've reduced the church to a place where we go on Sunday instead of a people that is the church spread throughout the marketplace daily. People either worship in spirit and truth, or they settle for religious ritual on the church mountain.
3 Ways to Stop the Naysayers
"The poor will be with you always," Jesus said, but I'm sure He could have added, "The stupid vision killers will pursue you always."
Acknowledge But Don't React
As much as we would love to send to some of these to Gitmo for vision espionage, we simply don't have that authority … sadly. But if we give their voice weight, they will keep looking for opportunities to complain.
Naysayers and complainers don't have a desire to help in what they say. They are looking for a platform that will hear them and respond. It makes them feel empowered.
3 Ways to Find Out Why Your Church Isn't Growing
Here is an example of a common question I receive:
My church is not growing. People come, but they do not stay. We've analyzed all the majors and feel we are doing what we should, but they do not stay. Any thoughts, please?
I receive something similar almost weekly. I wish I had answers every time. I don't. Most of the time, I know they can't afford a consultant (or don't think they can but should consider the investment), so I try to give them a few suggestions, in the limited time I have, to think through their issues.
How to Help Your Staff Develop Their Gifts
As a pastor, you have a lot of responsibilities. When your task list grows, it's easy to overlook the need to invest in your staff. However, one of the most important parts of leadership development is helping others understand their gifts.
At some point, most of us worked for or learned from a leader who understood this responsibility. And we wouldn't be where we are today without them. Even if we didn't have that help, we all understand the value of it and why we should invest in our people this way.
So for all you leaders, here are three ideas for helping the people you lead develop their gifts:
3 Worship-Leading Skills for Kids' Ministry
After the past few years of observing the worship element of our kids' experiences, I've discovered three key skills that distinguish a worship leader from a worship singer. The former leads kids to engage in a worship song while the latter holds a microphone and sings. There's a big difference between the two.
Skill No. 1: The Art of Prompting
Storytelling and worship leading share this tool in common. Yet it's assumed in storytelling and taken for granted in worship leading. Providing prompts seems intuitive when teaching kids.
Measuring Church Health: How Many Students Should Attend?
Last week I launched a series of articles on measuring church health. We began by looking at average children's ministry attendance. This week, we'll focus on students.
For the churches we've worked with through the years, the average number of students is 10 percent of the overall church attendance. In other words, for every 9 adults and kids in attendance, there's typically one student between sixth and twelfth grade.
Again, the factors driving student engagement are similar to those I noted with children's ministry. Though the capacity of your youth pastor may certainly impact the health of your student ministry, there are a number of other factors to consider. Those include the demographics of your region, the church's overall commitment and vision for student ministry and the programming in your worship services.
9 Tips for Resisting the Overwhelming Pressure of Leadership
I am asked constantly by young leaders, "How do you handle the responsibility of leading something like Catalyst?"
Good question.
The reality is, anyone who leads a church, leads a company, leads a community, leads a nonprofit ministry, leads a team or even leads a family feels and knows the pressure of responsibility. And responsibility is part of leadership. Always.
You've heard this before: "You're responsible for what happens. Don't screw up!" Right! We hear this all the time from our parents, from our boss, from our boards, from our friends, from our spouses.
7 Cautions Before You Preach on Money
The worst time to preach on money is when you need some, pastor. The second worst time is when the church needs some.
The best time to preach on money is all the other times.
That said, here are a number of cautions for you to consider before walking into that lions' den to tame the monster called greed.
1. Get your own house in order. Now, it's possible to preach on prayer while knowing you have a long way to go in that respect. You can preach on good works and witnessing even if your record is spotty. You can do so because everyone has room for improvement in these areas. But when it comes to giving/stewardship, you can know when you are doing well.
Never Start a Ministry Without a Minister
Saddleback didn't have an organized youth ministry until we had 500 in attendance. We didn't have a singles ministry until we had 1,000 people in attendance.
And I'm glad we didn't.
It's not because those ministries aren't important. They're vital! But God hadn't provided anyone to lead them. Never create a ministry position and then fill it. It's backwards.
Your most critical component to a new ministry isn't the idea to start it—it's the leadership of the ministry. Every ministry rises and falls on leadership. Without the right leader, a ministry will just stumble along. It may even do more harm than good. I could tell you some horror stories about poorly led ministries.
Why Teams Rarely Rise Beyond the Level of Their Leader
Leaders, if you're frustrated at the level of your team or vendor's performance, look no further than the mirror.
Only in very rare cases will a team perform better than the level of their leader. Why?
Because the leader sets the boundaries, deadlines and guidelines. The leader creates the culture and sets expectations. As a result, no matter how gifted or creative a team is, if the leader is incompetent, insecure or inexperienced, the team can only work within that framework.
4 Keys to Planning for Church Health
Based on research and anecdotal evidence, I estimate that nine out of every 10 churches in America are growing at a slower pace than their communities—if they are growing at all. That is not a good sign for the church in America.
Through the feedback I've received on my blog over the past two years, it has become overwhelmingly evident that the spiritual health of churches and pastors is of great concern. Many have asked how to transform the churches in the 90 percent that are not growing into ones like the 10 percent that are.
This is no easy task, but it can be done.
Do You Recognize Your True Role in the Church?
In the first post of this series, I began a discussion on the importance of pastors establishing healthy boundaries in ministry.
As it's an area in which I have personally struggled—and one in which I continue to grow—I'm passionate about sharing what I have learned in order to help others not make the same mistakes I did.
In the next four posts, I will share keys to establishing these boundaries. Think of them as four fence posts surrounding a healthy ministry.
5 Steps to Discern a Change in Ministry Assignment
How do you know when God is closing one door in ministry and opening another?
I get this question a lot and have previously addressed it, but recently I have received it more frequently, so I decided to write about it again. (I always note that this post is written about my experiences for people who may currently need it.)
Several times in my ministry, first as a layperson and since then in vocational ministry, God has called me to leave one ministry and begin another. It can be a scary place to face the unknown, yet know that God is up to something new in your life.
Heal Your Servant: Grace and Exposing the Enemy's Demonic Motivation
Through the ministry of Heal Your Servant, we have four scheduled weekly conference calls. Every call is unique, and most are filled with surprises. Sometimes we will have one person on a call, and other times we have several callers.
On a recent phone conversation, I had one individual call in. I introduced myself. He then gave me his name. As is customary, I began a short prayer, asking God for His wisdom.
I concluded, and instead of hearing the words, "Amen," I heard, "Why do you do this?"
It was as if the Lord had been preparing me for this question.
How to Get Started in Social Media
Recently, Leadership Journal interviewed me about social media, publishing it under the headline: "Not Tweeting? Repent!" So, in light of the fact that I basically called pastors sinners for not being on Twitter, I thought I should share some tips for getting started in social media.
Choose an Outlet
First, you'll need to consider which social media outlet to use. My recommendation would be to engage in both Twitter and Facebook. The simple reason—you're more likely to engage men on Twitter and women on Facebook.

I baked up some pita pocket breads today or flatbread. It is so good when you make your own fresh and hot off the baking stone!
I love berries of all sorts, but I especially love blueberries. I have a stash of them in my freezer and several boxes of fresh blueberries in my refrigerator. So I thought I would make up a quick snacking kind of dessert for dinner.
The Bread of Love and Friendship
This is an easy sourdough with a little bit of milk and potatoes. I used whole wheat sourdough starter but you can use a white starter and substitute about 6 oz of whole grain flour for bread flour to have it come out similar. Continue reading Pane di Amore
It was a wonderfully sunny day on this island so I named this bread Sunny Sourdough. Sunny sourdough is made with motherdough that has been aged at least 3 – 5 days. I had some 60% motherdough that was two weeks old and I wanted to use it so I made this bread.
There has been an ongoing controversy over whether a starter culture that you obtain elsewhere, is taken over by, or reverts to, the local microorganisms after you have had it for a while.
I asked Debra Wink that question and she said a stable starter would keep the original organisms intact if it was healthy. I have heard many different opinions on the subject. However, there is one thing that keeps me from making up my mind about the subject and that is the tests I have done. Many years ago, I did time tests for different starters to see how long they took to proof. See Starter Experiments. Continue reading The Controversy Rages On….
When I was young, there was a bakery in town that specialized in a Cheese Onion loaf. It was a soft, white crumb studded with melted cheese pockets and caramelized onions chunks. The bread was a sought after item and you could smell it baking from far off. Continue reading Caramelized Onion Cheese Loaf
I had a Hubbard squash sitting on my kitchen table begging to be baked. So, I baked the squash and made up some squash rolls. I made enough dough to bake up a loaf of squash bread as well.
I am Wyllis Greenway, Teresa's son. I originally designed these lames because I love to work with wood. Most bread slashers you could get were either made of plastic or metal. I thought that a lame should invite the same sense of warmth and character into a kitchen that a loaf of freshly baked bread does, which is why I decided to use richly colored woods and compliment them with shimmery brass hardware. Continue reading Hand Crafted Wooden Lame – Shop
I have a dear friend who is fighting cancer. The chemo treatments leave her unable to eat much but she loves eating my sourdough bread. So I have formulated this bread just for her. It is the white counterpart to Pink Wig bread which was also formulated for a woman fighting cancer (it is a whole wheat version). Continue reading Blonde Wig Sourdough
This is a variation for an old recipe called Latvian Apple Cake. What is so cool about this recipe is that you can substitute just about any fruit and make a terrific dessert. Think pear cranberry, blueberry, peaches, mixed berries, plum pear, apple cranberry, etc. It is an easy elegant dessert and it tastes delicious! Continue reading Sourdough Latvian Apple Cake

- Paisarn,They are not from Central Africa.Could they be Dayak?Best to you for the holidays,Paul----- Original Message -----From: asiantrekkerSent: Friday, July 06, 2007 11:31 AMSubject: [African_Arts] Ethnic cups
The group seems quiet lately. Probably holiday time for many. Happy 4th of
July to American friends, and bon vacance to European ones!
Now I wonder if there's anybody left around to help me with a question.
I've these two cups (picture at
http://ph.groups. yahoo.com/ group/African_ Arts/photos/ view/a2b4? b=14)
whose origins I'm dying to know. Each cup measures about 5 inches high.
The seller wasn't sure, but think Papua New Guinea. I remember having
seen similar ones before maybe in a book, but for the life of me cannot
recall which. (Also there's a possibility that they are neither Africa or even
Oceanic. In which case, my apology to the moderator!)
Can you help? Thank you in advance.
Paisarn - Bonjour Lee !
Nutcrackers in Asia are usually of this type :
There are many tribes/cultural communities in Europe !
... but, though I'm a European, I could not determine if your nutcracker is from Norway, Germany, France or from the Balkans or elsewhere in Europe. Styles of objects (as well as traditional clothing) can be very near and even for a European, it can be confusing.
Found also on e-bay an interesting photo of the two objects together :
as well as another type of european nut-cracker :
I really believe that the type of wooden pitcher that both you and Paisarn have,
come from the Balkans. There are also many tribes in the Balkans (Croats, Kosovar, Serbians, Montenegrians, Macedonians,...) but i did not succeed in
determining from which community these pitchers come from.
If and as soon as i'll have found it out, i'll let you know - as well as for the nutcracker (which also might be from Tchaikowsky's land !)
Be well and carpe vitam !
Lee Rubinstein <LeeRubinstein@...> wrote:Paisarn (Paul, Vero, Alex et al):
I also have one of these cups and have searched through images and
references including those referring to the Batak of northern Sumatra
and the Kalash of Northwest Pakistan as well folk traditions of
Romania, Hungary and even Scandinavia. I still remain uncertain as
to the specific origins of this style of cup or small pitcher. The
most notable elements that I have sought to match are the repetitive
leaf pattern, the pocked field on which the leaf pattern appears, the
triangular chips which mark the border areas and the open triangular
spaces -- larger and smaller -- that are seen on the "handle" but
have yet to make a definitive identification. While one can find
reasonably similar examples -- particularly in the cup Vero presented
from the former Yugoslavia -- as well as carved wooden objects that
bear like markings, I am still curious about the specific place and
culture of origin of these cups.
Here is an images of the cup I have here as well as an example of the
Scandinavian nutcracker which displays some of the elements but which
I don't see as sufficiently close to group the cup and the
nutcracker together:
While they both have the triangular chips as part of the surface
decoration, the Scandinavian example -- and others I have viewed --
seem more symmetrical and floral than the patterns on the cup and
suggest to me different origins for the two types of object. I am
inclined toward the Eastern European origin for the cups. The only
safe conclusion I can draw is that they are apparently not African,
which eliminates at least one continent to search for additional
information and clues!

With Indiana losing to Illinois earlier in the week, Michigan could very easily have been the #1 team in the country with a win over Wisconsin today. Wisconsin had other plans though. With 3 seconds on the **** Michigan took a three point lead after a Hardaway Jr. three pointer. The game looked pretty much over at the time before Ben Brust hit a crazy running buzzer beater to send the game into overtime. Wisconsin would go on to take out the #3 seed in the nation 65-62, and ruin their chances at becoming the #1 team in the country. Check out the crazy shots below.

Babu of Vijaya Vittala Composite PU College at Saraswathipuram scored the second-highest marks in the State in the Science stream, securing 100 in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with a total of 588 out of 600.

Other educational institutions, including Marimallappa's College and Sadvidya College also performed well. In all, 947 students appeared for the examination at Marimallappa's College, of whom 915 students passed. There were 142 distinction and 526 first class.

Say what you want about D'Antoni, but he was the second best Knicks coach this year and no one can take that away from him.
Ain't no meese around here to screw. And where exactly was I undignified in defeat? Kentucky was the better team and clearly won the game as I said. Kansas fought hard against the odds but came up short. No shame there. Both teams played hard and it was entertaining (at least to me, as I enjoy watching good defense in any sport - other than soccer). I have no issues with the game or its result. I just think that a guy whose two previous programs have both gone down in flames and who has discovered a way to game the system is a bad thing. I think it will definitely make college ball a worse game and contribute to more excess and violations. I don't admire him for what he's done regardless of what I think of the NCAA (and I share many of your views on them). That's all.
I'm not sure what you mean by "game the system". What Calipari has done is accept players who expect to be one-and-done. So has pretty much every other coach in the NCAA. If you think otherwise, coach K would be a good place to start.
Yeah, he fooled everyone at UMass. while teams like Kentucky, NC etc. were recruiting 6-8 McDonald's all Americans, he fooled them by winning thirty five games with 6 players - 5 of whom, no one even recruited. Please tell me how he "gamed" the system at UMass, so i can respond to you. By the way, at least at UMass, Cal was never even accused of wrongdoing. It was a guy from Camby's home town in Connecticut. N.C.A.A. Acts Against Kansas N.C.A.A. Acts Against Kansas - NYTimes.com Former Kansas coach said he misunderstood rules
I am referring more to the current situation, rather than the one at UMass. The "gaming" I'm referring to is finding a new way to gain the best recruits, via Worldwide Wes rather than via rich boosters. Very smart of course, as you've got a firewall between the program and the dirty business. Regarding Kansas, they got quite severely sanctioned as they should have, and for a similar reason - hiring one of the Gypsy coaches who win quickly but tend to leave messes. They then paid their penalty and hired a guy known particularly for cleaning up programs that have violated NCAA rules. Ended badly for him, but not because of recruiting violations.
Well that makes sense. Kentucky has always had a hard time finding the best recruits, due to their lack of rich boosters.
There's a rumor going around that some Patriot players got money that coach Cal knew about when they were in college.
AHA! Finally, a reason why this thread is on the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL messageboard forum! So, did coach Cal know about just the players, just the money, or both? And, did the money come from their parents or in the form of a college loan? Or, did they find the money on the street?
I have little time for "coach cal," but I'm even more perplexed by those who are coming down on him for his "one and done" strategy. As far as I'm concerned, Basketball and Football, as conducted at big time College programs (with a handful of noeworthy exceptions), became "Semi-pro" leagues a long time ago. Why are we decrying Calipari for simply taking that reality to its logical conclusion? There might still be "student athletes" in sports like Lacrosse, Soccer, Volleyball and swimming, but the big bucks corrupted Basketball and Football a long time ago.

Back in 2010, San Diego-based photographer Adam Elmakias launched a geeky fashionable line of gel bracelets based on various lenses. The Lens Bracelets took the web by storm, and now Elmakias is back with a new and improved "pro series" lineup of bracelets that are much more faithful representations of actual lenses by Canon, Nikon, Leica, and Zeiss. The new bracelets are based off $25K+ worth of popular cameras lenses, and are more detailed and more durable than the previous version.

The lens mug craze seems to be cooling down, but now there's another product on the market that can help you stay cool (literally): the Canon lens cooling fan. They're powered by two AAA batteries and somewhat resemble the same Canon 70-200mm lens that the original mugs were based on. You can buy one for $5.60 with free shipping from DealExtreme.

Who Knew Nikon Support Was So Manly?
Check out this solid brass Nikon belt buckle, a fusion of masculinity and photo geekiness.
If you're a die-hard Nikonian and have to get your hands on one of these babies, you can find them on eBay for anywhere between a few dollars (for auctions) and a staggering $88 for a Buy It Now listing with free shipping. Just search for the term "Nikon buckle".
Strangely enough, a similar search for Canon buckles doesn't return anything, leading us to conclude that Canon support isn't as manly as Nikon support.

[I posted this in one of the other twenty or so "Fire Tomlin" threads, but I never seem to get any answers. I'll try again, since you asked.]
I have a question for all of those who despise Tomlin.
Let's assume that Cowher is the better coach (I don't think he is better than Tomlin, but that is not the point of this post). Let's assume that Cowher is better... and go from there.
Cowher is better.
He is retired.
The Steelers need to hire someone... so, if it is not Tomlin, then with whom would you replace him?
Before you answer Nick Saban (or some other college coach), name the last college coach who was successful in the NFL. (My guess is that your answer will be Jimmy Johnson... who is an anomaly.) Sure, Jim Harbaugh has turned his team around, but he has ZERO championships. And, he is winning with "Singletary's guys"... right? So... who...??
If you want a coordinator... again I ask: Who???
The fact is, that even if Cowher was better, he is retired, and SOMEONE has to coach the Steelers.
Heck, you can have any coach in the NFL... who would you take over Tomlin: Belichick? Coughlin? But, even both of those are maybes, because just like Tomlin, neither of them won without an elite QB (number of SuperBowls for those coaches prior to Brady & Eli: ZERO).
Cowher was better. He is retired. And, so are Mel Blount & Rod Woodson.
Think about that analogy. Ike Taylor is no where near as good as Blount or Woodson... but, Ike has been pretty darn good. Who else would you have rather have had for the past nine seasons? Tillman... Asomugha... someone else?
In other words, maybe there are a few better coaches in the league, but then again, maybe there aren't.
More importantly, the past is the past... and has nothing to do with the present. Cowher was a better coach... so was Lombardi... and, so was Paul Brown. So, what exactly does that have to do with any current coach?

Re-Focus Your Goals
Article By GHP's Exercise Physiologist Andy Retberg
Do you to reset and refocus your wellness goals? As we traverse through our daily responsibilities it's very easy to lose sight of our long term wellness goals. If you've found it hard keeping up with your goals, now is the time to reexamine what you're doing.
Try going deeper by taking some time to meditate on it, journal about it, or just go for a walk and think about it. If you invest time in setting goals that mean a lot to you, you'll be considerably more likely to invest the time needed to accomplish them!
Here are a few tips on how to stay motivated and focused so you can achieve your goals.
1. Adjust Your Goals. Grab a piece of paper and write down your original goal. Is your goal 'SMART'; Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Trackable. Perhaps breaking it down into daily or weekly goals would make it more manageable.
2. Stop Kicking Yourself. Shame and guilt are powerful emotions that can sabotage us in the worst ways. In fact, we often treat ourselves worse than we'd ever treat anyone else. If you tend to spiral into guilt after failing, imagine what you would say to a friend in your situation. You'd most likely be encouraging and supportive while helping him or her come up with some solutions to the problem. Treat yourself with the same respect, realizing that failure is always part of success and can even make success sweeter.
3. Get Some Help. Most people have trouble reaching their goals without some help--either from friends, family or support groups. If you've been going at it alone, is there someone you can reach out to for help and support? A spouse, a sibling, or a friend? What about co-workers? Remember here at GHP we are simply a phone call or e-mail away and would love to hear from you and be of any assistance.
4. Think Small. Losing weight is more about the small choices you make every day. Every time you complete a workout or choose a glass of water over a can of Coke, you're reaching your weight loss goal. All of those small daily choices are what determines your success. So keep your focus on what you'll do today and don't become overwhelmed with the future.
5. Lighten Up. Whether you lose weight or not, time will pass and life will go on. Ask yourself how you want to spend your time. Do you want to enjoy yourself and do the best you can? If so, give yourself some wiggle room. None of us are perfect when trying something new and failing at it isn't the end of the world. Ease up on yourself and you may find that you accomplish more than you ever did by kicking yourself down.
The key to success is not in being perfect. In fact, success is often found in our failures, but only if we allow them to teach us something. Most successful people will report failing many more times than succeeding. So give some thoughtful consideration to your goals, be proud of your efforts, and keep striving!
We welcome any feedback you have.We are also very appreciative of your willingness to share your story. If you had surgery at Grand Health Partners, take a moment to upload your story to our patient testimonials page.

I say underrated because poking around this thread, I still find that it's been the same small bunch of people who have them and post about them. In addition, outside of the head-fi forums, I don't know a single person who's ever heard them. Probably because I live in the US and Vsonic isn't exactly a household name around here. Even at stores like B&H, and J&R, the sales people were fascinated by my GR07s when I wore them in there. Those places sell all of the high-end Shures, Etys, Grados, Sennheisers, etc... I live in NYC and Philadelphia, and commute between the two cities weekly, and have yet to see a single person with a set of Vsonics either on the street, train, or bus.

I have a recipe i am going to brew up for a Belgian wit beer, but it just has ingredients and no other instructions and im still learning so I figured one of you could help me out......Janx...where you at bro? I know I steep the grains.....the recipe has 1 lb dry wheat, and 4 lbs of dry extra light malt extract. I think I add those to the boil after the steep...?? The recipe has .5 lb of flaked oats, do those go in the boil, fermenter, ??????Im not sure there, as well as the .5 ounce of coriander. Thanks in advance for the help...
Oats and grains get steeped. All extract goes in the boil after the steep (wheath and light DME). The spices should probably go in towards the end of the boil...maybe the last 10 or 15 minutes? We use oats a lot and just mash them along with everything else. They can get gooey, sticky, so we try to make sure they go on top of the grain bed. In your case, I imagine you have a steeping bag or something. Belgian Wit is one of my upcoming goals. Doing a really authentic one takes some definite work. Unmalted wheat, a number of mashing steps, the spices, getting the body right. I want to have Wit flowing in rivers by summer. And I want it to be as good as Celis (that's better than Hoegaarden ) What's your recipe look like?
I found it on beertools.com. .75 lbs White Wheat Malt 1 lbs. Muntons Dry Wheat 4lbs Muntons Dry Extra Light .5 lbs Oats Flaked .75 oz. Hallertau 60 min boil .25 oz. Hallertau 10 min boil .5 ounces Coriander White Labs WLP400 Belgian Wit Ale Yeast If i put the Oats in a steeping bag, should that work out alright for me? And just steep them with my Wheat malt?
the corriander i have, is like little seeds. Should I crush them first or just put them in "as is"?
For Sure man....I'll be brewin it up this weekend. Maybe I'll snap a few pics for effect. I got one of my buddies into brewin and he just bought a kit yesterday so Im going to help him brew his first batch this weekend too.
I've got a similar recipe from The Joy of Homebrewing. The only differences are some orange peel, and light honey instead of oats. Half the coriander gets added after the first 45 minutes, and the rest gets added with the orange peel after ten minutes. The recipe is called "Who's in the Garden Grand Cru," and it's a copy of Hoegarden's Grand Cru. Good Luck.
I'll have to look it up...Im going to add orange peel now, and more hops.
A Wit should have almost no bitterness and just a bit of hop aroma. I have seen recipes that add all the hops in the last 10 or 15 minutes. Also, I have been doing some reading and most folks say to add spices at the very end of the boil...say 10 minutes.
hmmmm...okay...I wont add the extra hops then....I have 2 different Hallertau's , one is 4.6 AA, and ones 3.8 AA....The higher the AA means more bitterness correct? Im not sure which one i'll use....ones american, and the others german mittlefrue. Yeah, Im going to add .5 ounce of corriander, and a .5 ounce of orange peel w/ 10 mins left.

Respond to Review of Chimichurri

Review: A menu that changes daily. Vegan food that is not of the hair shirt variety but enjoyable. My vegetarian wife even enjoyed the desserts, often a low point in vegan restaurants. She also enjoyed the machiatto late made with soya milk. Good atmosphere, good wines, just a few minutes walk from the metro.

I've decided to stop taking all diabeties medication.
I recently tried the atkins diet and found I wasn't taking off much weight of as they said I should,because of all the meds I was taking including insulin.I would like some feed back from all of you on this site,if I should try or what is next, tired of waiting.
Hi Jean. It's only my opinion, but I think that stopping Diabetes meds, especially insulin, is likely to lead to a disaster. If you feel you must experiment, just drop one med at a time--excluding insulin. I would strongly recommend consulting your doctor before making any changes at all. Best wishes.
Thanks Trudy,going to doctors this afternoon will talk to her about what I want to do,just tired of gaining weight with inslin ,going to gym and seeing no results.
Let us know how your appointment goes. I'm hoping your doctor will recommend a new regimen that will work for you.
Not taking insulin in order to lose weight, is known as "diabulimia".
Some resources say that this is an eating disorder specific to T1 but I feel that is overly specific. Perhaps, this is most well known among young T1 women, but the problem (and the fact that the pressures on any diabetic can lead to eating disorders) I feel is much broader than that specific case.
I did go to the doctors,results slow decrease of inslin ok but not cold turkey.
Yes my blood sugars are great.
