sad, and true

Does anyone even read xanga anymore?

It's been a while since i've been on here, and even longer since i've posted anything so i figured i might as well say hey to anyone who still reads this.

Hey!

okay, thats it.

One more blog...

Fri, 07 Sep 2007 13:05:39 GMT

so, i have a new blog that you might want to check out if you get bored. i opened a blogspot account for the purpose of showcasing my design work. ultimately, i'll learn enough about web design to build my own site, but for now this will have to do. i'll probably be posting a lot of concept art (stuff i do when i'm bored). Let me know what you think.

Early Morning Televangics

Mon, 28 May 2007 08:49:23 GMT

this morning i heard an early morning televangelist advocating support for President Bush's supreme court judge appointments, based on a verse from the book of Judges that called for obedience to the judges of the land.

that's right, he was equating modern judiciary system officials to the hebrew judges of the old testament. i dont even know what to say...

Photo Updates

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 22:03:14 GMT

I'll be updating my flickr site with new pics in the next couple of days, so if you want any of the ones that are on there now, get them. i'm only allowed 200 pictures at a time, so many of them will dissappear and be replaced with ISF Bonfire pictures and a few of Curt Harlow.

Peace out.

Photos for Everyone

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 12:47:46 GMT

In response to everyones persistant questioning every time they see me with my camera out, i decided to publish my photos online for all of your enjoyment. the only issue is, i can only have 200 at a time on display, so if you want them, download them now, as the older ones will dissappear as i upload new ones. not all of my pictures are up yet either, but they will be eventually. so, for all of you enjoyment, here you go:

let me know if you have any questions.

Offroad Disciplines

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 12:01:20 GMT

Over the past couple of years, I've had the opportunity to hear Dr. Earl Creps speak at several different conferences and settings. And he never failed to amaze and inform me. So when i heard that he was writing a book i couldnt wait to get my hands on it. In my denomimation, which i share with Dr. Creps, there is a moderate amount of writing going on, but much of it is less than relevant to a 20 something college student, in my opinion at least. That's why i loved ORD so much. It is one of the best books i've read on spiritual disciplines, and so the fact that it came from someone in the denomination i was raised in was an added bonus.

As far as the book itself goes, i found it to be well written and extremely well though out. i love the break in the book between personal and corporate disciplines. As a Chi Alpha "missionary in training" there are several ideas and suggestions Dr. Creps addresses that i will make a point of putting into practice. And, as someone who is involved in ministry, i really enjoyed the chapter on witnessing. (Chapter 5) As Christians it's supposed to be part of our every day life, and yet we make it so much harder than it really should be. Dr. Creps point of view really challenged the way i had been looking at witnessing, and changed the way i think about it.

On top of being an excellent book, written by someone i have a huge amount of respect for, getting a free preview copy of this book was jsut icing on the cake. thank your Dr. Creps for the opportunity to be a part of this, and for the book.
