Read just minutes ago that if I was a pastor in India right now, the price on my head would be a measly $250.
From the article:
An All-India Christian Council spokesman said, “People are being offered rewards to kill, and to destroy churches and Christian properties. They are being offered foreign liquor, chicken, mutton and weapons. They are given petrol and kerosene.”

During our conversation we both exclaimed that we wish MORE people were on Skype. More people we knew, that is. Skype currently tells me that there are over 14-million people CURRENTLY online, but my “contact list” only shows a minimal 7-friends. 7 of 14-million is not a very good ratio.
If you have yet to investigate all that Skype has to offer, know this:
We use Skype as our home-phone at home. It’s the cheap-alternative to any other VOIP phone service (think “Vonage”, etc.). We bought an adapter that allows us to connect our regular telephone up to the computer and make and receive calls directly from our two wireless handsets through our Skype-Out service. We also receive calls to our home number the same way.
Skype on your home computer also allows for video-conferencing or video-chatting. I talk maybe once every other week with a fellow youth pastor in another state face-to-face FOR FREE with Skype! A simple webcam on both computers allows us to actually look at each other during a conversation. We keep Ella in conversation face-to-face with her Garrett Grandparents in Indiana via Skype quite often (not as often as we should), too!
If you’re willing to give Skype a try, I’m willing to say at least “hello” to you! (I can’t promise much more as I am busy with numerous other things, too!)
Download and Skype for your computer and operating system at www.skype.com. Add “navets” to your contacts and give me a call! You’ll be a fan in no-time!
Paula Zuber was one of my older sister Stacia’s best friends growing up in Rochester, NY. Nearly 10-years ago Paula married Rob at the Genesee Country Village & Museum and asked my dad to perform the ceremony – to fulfill a promise my sister asked her to keep before she died at age 12. Thankfully I was able to attend that wedding and reconnect with Paula and some friends from my New York days, too.
Today, Paula and her husband Rob along with their two daughters came and attended church with us here in Armbrust and then joined us for a conversation-filled lunch at Subway.
Rob grew up less-than a half-hour from here and they come to visit his family often. It was so great to reconnect with Paula and to be able to share my family with her family was a true honor!
I look forward to further visits from the Nicholson family in the months and years ahead!

Jess and I just finished watching the Throwdown with Bobby Flay episode that I was in!
It was so cool to see the final show put-together with all of our friends (and me!) on-screen. I captured a few more screen shots to share here:
