Reader Survey: Christmas 06 iTunes Giftcard

Friday, December 29th, 2006 | Posted in The Arts

Okay I’ve got a gift card to use on iTunes and I have to make a decision. I have enough to get one whole album and few singles. As usual I’m torn. Should I get:
The Fray: How To Save A Life
or…
Keith Urban: Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing
Let the voting begin.

Christmas Ping

Friday, December 29th, 2006 | Posted in Family

It’s been a busy Christmas for us. No time to write, barely time to think. (Still compiling my thoughts on where to take the last post.) I got several projects completed around the house. Maegan is doing better (the color has cleared up) but she’s still acting like a camel. I think she has a [...]

Rush Hour Dominos

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006 | Posted in Kingdom Bits

Last night as I was driving home, the traffic was crawling as cars were lined up waiting to get through a light. To my right I saw a car waiting to turn right and join the fun. I could pass by and let the next guy let him out. It was late and the family [...]

Bad Information Design For The Lord

Saturday, December 16th, 2006 | Posted in General, Information Architecture

I saw this sign and just had to laugh. It’s advertising a church website. Taking a picture and blowing it up is the only way that anyone will ever be able to know what the web address is though. Very effective information design, eh? So to help them out a little bit, it’s www.boilingspringspbc.org.

Worship Team Christmas Resolution

Monday, December 4th, 2006 | Posted in Kingdom Bits, The Arts

While listening to music at the Harp the other night, a guy that used to be in the music scene of LA was talking about his respect for Gary, a worship leader at Fellowship Bible Church. All though this guy had played in front of plenty of people, he said he could never do what [...]

Prayer Request

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006 | Posted in Family

Please pray for Maegan. She has been having blood in her urine which the Dr.s and specialists say is probably caused by a reaction to strep-throat which she had several weeks ago. Earlier this week she caught a virus that has given her a fever and she has been vomiting. So now she is dehydrated. [...]

First Tailgate

Out of  sensitivity and respect  for some of my readers that are Georgia Tech fans, I will not even mention this weekend’s game.
But I will mention my experience of driving to a college [...]

Kwistmas Kwandary

Thursday, November 16th, 2006 | Posted in Family, Kingdom Bits

So Camryn’s school is having a “December Holidays Around the World Celebration.” Her class is singing a Kwanzaa song. I admit I haven’t ever taken the time to learn about this holiday so now seems like a good time. After looking it up on Wikipedia, I can see why so many people (of all races) [...]

The Art Spin

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006 | Posted in The Arts

While browsing my RSS feeds, I ran across Brian Eno’s latest artistic endeavours. After going to the official 77 Million Paintings site, I was instantly transported back to my days at Atlanta College of Art (recently merged into Savannah College of Art). Believe it or not, while attending a fine arts school for a degree in electronic [...]
