Evangelist for: Real Live Preacher
What would a Church of the Customer blog be without a tip o' the derby to a real live preacher?
Gordon Atkinson, and his blog, Real Live Preacher, make for fun and enlightening reading, if you will. He's an entrepreneur and preacher at a south Texas church, for real. But his blog makes Gordon accessible to his congregation (and those outside of it) much more than Sunday mornings.
And I hadn't expected a preacher to be as funny as Gordon.
Here's a sample entry:
We Texans have always had a strange attraction to propane. I've always thought it was perfect that Hank Hill sells it. The folks who created "King of the Hill" know something about Texans.But until I saw [a local] billboard I had not considered the spiritual value of the compressed, flammable gasses. Comfort for the soul? Perhaps we're witnessing the birth of another major religion. If so, the Propanites are going to be MAJOR competition. I mean, preachers have always been full of hot air, but even my best sermons can't light your grill.
Dear Lord, let them be mystics and not evangelists. If a man shows up at my door with a propane tract in one hand and a hamburger cooking on a grill, I might be sorely tempted to jump ship.
