I know the surfing hasn’t been real good in this spot recently, and I apologize. I’m trying to update a membership database of 1,800 records for my church’s online directory in my precious free time, and it has to be done one-at-a-time by hand … because the Shelby church software database won’t convert to anything that Microsoft Access can read.

And most of the records are at least two years out of date.

But here are some other spots where the surfing is great and the waves are humongous:

• John Alan Turner is essentially posting a personal study guide to the book of Daniel online, one chapter at a time and it’s outstanding. It’s like getting a free book!
• Preacher Mike Cope has a new blogging address, and his recent posts titled “Bible #1” through “Bible #6” (plus an awesome interview with my former care-group friend Jackie Halstead) are well worth your clicks and scans
• Tommy Stewart has a preview of Brian McLaren’s new book, The Secret Message of Jesus. Nope, it’s not Gnosticism, if you’re an Elaine Pagels fan.

And now, back to our regularly-scheduled Access spreadsheet.
