A Busy Day

This was a busy day! I have a major project that needs to be completed tomorrow by 5:00 PM so I’m in crunch mode as I try to get that put to rest. It looks now like we’ll have to launch the site in a slightly stripped-down form, but it should still be functional. We’ll just have to tack on the rest of the site after it launches. I’ve been busy enough that I haven’t been able to read more than the back covers of the four books I got for my birthday.

I’m also working on a redesign of this site. “Why?” you ask. Well, I am trying to make more information more accessible. I’m also trying to make a site that conforms to all the HTML and CSS validation rules. So far so good. I’m looking for a few people to test-drive the new site, which should launch as soon as this weekend, so if you’re interested, post a comment or drop me a line and I’ll send you the link. If you’re a photographer and have any good pictures that are short and wide (ie 200 pixels high by 750 wide) that would look nice as a banner, let me know!

And he is cute beyond belief. They…

    What Grieves the Heart of God?

    What pleases God? What delights his heart? And what displeases God? What grieves his heart? If asked, I think most of us would assume that if we ever grieve the heart of God it will be through denying the gospel or committing a grave moral scandal. Or if we do so as a local church,…
