Love

Sorry about the forever-since-last-time thing - things have been busy.

But, the other night, Kristy and I read an interesting point in our devotions - from a book by John Piper. It talked about love.

It proposed that we have adopted a very worldly view of love - we've adopted society's view of love: that if we are loved, we will feel exalted, like the center of attention. But, God, in loving us, wants us to make HIM the center of attention. It's a pretty interesting perspective.

God wants what is best for us - and that is himself. He is the best thing - of all things.

The Media Moment

There is a new really neat podcast coming out of The Salvation Army Western Territory. It is done by Josh Cowing and Richard Brown (of MediaShout, and animalproductions.com) who are both part of the Western Territorial Media Ministries Team.

It's very cool - they talk about media ministry and tools related to media ministry from a Salvation Army point of view.

The website for the podcast is:

Lord, make Calvary real to me
Open my eyes to victory in Christ for me
Lord, make Calvary real to me

Sorry I haven't written in forever. I have a lot of 'projects' that I'm currently working on and that takes up a lot of my extra time. I have a LOT of ideas that I want to share . . .

soon, very soon.

I know that I can't LIVE in this thing, but we did see this today as Kristy and I were browsing places to live in Asheville, NC.

A New Design!

Hey - Hope you like the new look. I was getting bored of the other one, and since I've been playing a lot lately with web design stuff, I figured I'd give this a try. You can probably figure out that there is a considerable amount of TWEAKING to do, but I really like it. The 'insert bill' image at the top I took one day at a vending machine . . . I think it may have been at camp.

Anyway, let me knowwhat you think of the new look.
