Things We Talked About Today

-October is Clergy Appreciation Month. You still have some time to do something special for your pastor. It's nice to have a month dedicated to honoring our pastors, but we hope you'll make it a year-round habit. A gift is a nice gesture, but even if you just send them a card with a special note, that be just the encouragement that they need! Don't forget the support pastors on staff too.

-Bob Waliszewski, our movie guy from Focus on the Family, gave us his take on the documentary, I Want Your Money. He says it is a conservative-leaning look at the vision of Ronald Reagan versus the vision of Barack Obama. Bob says it is full of some interesting stuff to chew on and gives it a 4 out 5 rating.
