Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How Church Websites Can Be A Benefit

By Shannon Behan


Church websites can be of a great benefit to a church. They can be used to pass information along to current members as well as to inform potential visitors about their services. Many people use the internet and having a website for your church can be a great way to get in touch with everyone at one time.

You will want to have general information listed about your church on your website. The dates and times of the services are important to have listed. The address along with a list of people to contact can also be useful. Many times someone may have a question and having this information will make it easier for them.

If you wish you can also include a some of the beliefs that your church follows. Allowing other to see what your main doctrine is can help them decide if this church may be a good fit for them. You can also let them know how your congregation differs from others that have similar faiths.

If you have recreational programs that you offer you may want to list those as well. Many times parents may be interested in a place to have their children during the service such as a nursery room. They may also be interested in children's programs that their kids can be a part of.

You may also wish to have a calender of events listed on your site as well. You can use this as a way to keep members current of events that are going on. It can also be used as a way to entice potential visitors of things that they may find interesting. Many times it will be a helpful reminder to all.

Many churches also participate in programs that help the local community. If your church offers assistance in the form of a food pantry or assists with utilities, you may want to list that also. Many people look for resources with these items and this will give them a option to go to for assistance.
