Ok, I realize I might be slightly biased here... but I honestly think that I work for the coolest Sr. Pastor there is - Rev. Dr. Mark D. Roberts.
Pastor Mark is an amazing man of God, he is absolutely brilliant (3 degrees from Harvard University, including his PhD), and is an amazing spiritual leader as well as a phenomenol boss.
Pastor Mark is also very "hip" and up-to-date on the newest technology, trends, and cultural influences.
In addition to writing numerous books, Pastor Mark runs his own website (where you can read to your hearts content on all kinds of subjects from theology to culture to current events, and more). In addition to this website, though, Pastor Mark has started a new website called "The Daily Psalm" where (to quote Pastor Mark):
"As you might guess from the name of the site, The Daily Psalm is based upon the biblical book of Psalms. And, as seems obvious, The Daily Psalm focuses on one psalm each day. Most of the time, the psalm of the day follows in sequence from the psalm of the previous day. So, the psalm for January 1 was Psalm 1, for January 2, Psalm 2, and so forth.
The Daily Psalm will take you through the entire book of Psalms, that's 150 chapters, twice each year. This leaves 65 extra days (66 in leap year). On these days I will interrupt the usual order so as to feature a psalm that fits some theological theme that's germane to the day of the Christian year. On Easter Sunday, for example, the psalm will have something to do with new life, resurrection, victory, or some other appropriate theme. The same will be true for the other major days and seasons of the Christian year."
And if that is not cool enough... Pastor Mark stays up with the times and connect with the Youth in our church by having his own Myspace.com account!!! (I mean, seriously... how many Sr. Pastors do you know that have a Myspace.com account??? Didn't I tell you I have a COOL Sr. Pastor!!!)
I cannot encourage you enough to visit his blog, to read his daily psalm, and to buy and read his excellent books. I am blessed to be working with such an amazing man of God, who is also a great friend and mentor to me as well.
That is one wicked senior pastor. I really appreciate that you seem to appreciate him. That speaks loads about you character.
