Grzegorz Sowa, a Polish priest, installed an electronic fingerprint reader in his church to count how many times schoolchildren were attending mass.
Kids who reach a score of 200 will not have to pass an exam on the day of their confirmation.
God is definitely everywhere.
The Faith Comes By Hearing, an Alburquerque-based organization, is sending Haitians solar-powered bibles that can broadcast the holy scriptures. The device is loud enough to reach 300 people at a time.
The organization offers three versions of their “ministry tools”: the Proclaimer, the Bible Stick, and the Military Bible Stick.
When you have no shelter and no food, the last thing you need is some loud speaker repeating the word of God over the whole city.
Oh, and the batteries never run out.

A long time ago, priests used to bless workers’ tools shortly after Christmas. Men would bring their plowers to church to have them blessed.
The tradition has survived, but plowers have since been replaced with cellular phones.
During a ceremony in London, Anglican priest David Parrott asked his fellows to hold their cellular phones up in the air so he could bless them. Of course, they had to be turned on for God to establish the connection.
