A Church Building Program We Can All Believe In

I think this is the #1 (or maybe #2) church building need in the nation.

ELLETSVILLE, Ind. -- A Monroe County church has done without it for years, but the pastor said it's finally time to install a major upgrade -- indoor plumbing.

God's Way Family Church in Elletsville has lights, air conditioning and even a sound system. But the congregation has been using outhouses since the building was built, 6News' Ben Morriston reported.

Pastor Gilbert Thornton has launched a fundraising drive to get indoor facilities installed in an effort to draw more people on Sundays.

"It would help the growth of the church. When you say you've got outhouses, it actually turns them off," he said.

Thornton now has more motivation. When 6News asked the Monroe County Health Department about the situation, officials said they weren't aware the church was still using outhouses, which are in violation of several county codes.

"We will go out and look at it and work with them," said Director Penny Claudill.

Thornton said the project will likely cost close to $5,000. He said the journey will be a test of faith for his flock.

"I think some people believe (money) just falls out of the sky. It's not that simple," he said.

Anyone wishing to donate to the God's Way Family Church is asked to call 812-825-6655.

I’m Still Right Here - The Heroes of Car 1079

This morning BreakPoint Commentary talked about the crash of the Washington D.C. Metro train a few weeks ago. Their commentary talked about two men and their courageous response to other victims on the train. The links below are to the BreakPoint commentary as well as to a couple of articles they reference. Good reads...

Chaplain Bottoms crawled over jagged glass and metal toward the voice. He feared his weight might shift the wreckage and cause more injuries. But as the Post put it, “Two tours as a chaplain in Iraq had instilled in him the instinct to comfort the injured and dying.” Bottoms recalled the words of a military mentor: “You don’t let anyone suffer alone.”

Sounds Like Apple Is Afraid Of Microsoft's Ad Campaign

CNet posted an article about the ad wars between Microsoft and Apple. It sounds like the new Microsoft ads are have a pretty significant impact on the value perception of a Mac.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but it may have good reason to be upset. Since Microsoft launched the ads, which are a response to Apple's "I'm a Mac" ads, there is evidence that the campaign may be radically altering value perceptions of PCs. According to a report in AdAge, BrandIndex says Microsoft's so-called value perception has risen steadily since the campaign began in March, while Apple's has fallen.
