oh the paths my mind takes...

As you all know, I went to Living Hope in college. As I'm sure you've heard, Butch Smith is the pastor there at the Hopester. As a small percentage of you know, there are no pictures of anybody on the otherwise awesome new Living Hope website (digitally remastered by Ryan Couch himself). So I had to resort to the age-old, ever faithful solution of Google Images. I believe the afore displayed photograph was number three on the list of results.

I bet you're wondering why I'm posting about Brother Butch huh? You think I'm going to rip him up because of that thing he said last Sunday? Nope. (I would never do that anyway, but let's face it, if I did, it wouldn't be on the Internet). Well what spawned this post was everyone else's blogs. There is no shortage of LH bloggers out there, and their number is growing constantly, which made me wonder: does Butch Smith read his flock's blogs? Does he peruse them from time to time? Does he use them in sermon illustrations? Does he even know they exist?? Does he care that his picture isn't on the website? Would he like it if we put the picture above on his LH page? Would he ever even know?

These are the things I thought about. Thoughts? Hizzie, do what you think ought to be done. I trust you. You too Aaron.
