It’s Friday, and the Rev.
Jack Kale is
doing what he frequently does on a day
off: household chores.
But as all pastors
know, there’s no such thing as a day off
when you are doing God’s work.
As soon as he drops off the kids at
school, his focus shifts from the family
to-do list to the Sunday sermon.
He
thinks about his message all week long,
and he wants his congregation to do the
same.
With technology, this is now easily
done.
Rev.
Kale sits down at his kitchen
table, opens his laptop, and signs on to
gbNetwork, the private social network of
Gulf Breeze (Fla.
) United Methodist
Church.
He talks into his webcam.
“Have
you ever just wanted to start over? Have
you ever wanted to restart part of your
life?”
The message is less than two minutes.
