This morning, I grabbed breakfast with Noah. He told me something that really encouraged me. Check this out. In ministry there is a common amount of "theft". We joke about it, and most pastors encourage other people to steal there stuff, make it better and pass it on. I am a pastor who gets the benefit from "stealing" from others. Today, I found out that this pastor of a church of 375 people regularly steals from us. Can you believe that? The thoughts he reads of mine, inspire his own. The ministries and creative media we do are shaping the way they do ministry.
It's cool to think that our influence extends beyond us. I want to make a general disclaimer that all my stuff is open-source. I hope others can use it and improve the kingdom with it. When I take stuff from others I cite it so you should be good if you don't see it cited.

I passed on your tip about istockphoto.com to the other missionaries on the discussion forums we have set up. I did not credit you by name; sorry :). You are just credited as "a pastor."
How will I sell my books if you don't mention my name. Just Kidding.
