This is one of those personal posts... (Warning: each paragraph is a totally different subject. But I did attempt a theme... :)
-My son Joel has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. He was diagnosed with it in Kindergarten. We have been treating it with a disease-modifying drug. (In other words, more than just the symptoms of swellling and pain.)Here's the good news: He's off the drug now, and the pain has NOT returned. It's gone. There was a 50% chance he would outgrow it in 10 years, but God has seen fit to heal him in two years! God is AWESOME!!!!
-My Birthday is this month.
-I came home yesterday to a GIANT "McCain/Palin" sign on our front fence. It was a surprise from my wife. It's 8 foot by 4 foot. I'm pretty sure that it can be seen from space. It's AWESOME!!!!!!
-All day yesterday and today, I was out visiting shut-ins. A deacon and I took the Lord's Supper to them and celebrated it with each of them as they sat up in bed proclaimed the Lord's death together. (I Cor. 11:26) That too was AWESOME!!!!
-Our church has not had a motto, a logo, or a website. Currently I'm working on all three, and for me, it's harder than dirt. I am NOT creative.
-I have been speaking at a local daycare for chapel twice a month. I do it again in the morning. I have no idea what it's gonna be about. It's not easy coming up with a bible message for 3 and 4 year olds...but they are awesome!
-I'm preaching through Habakkuk on Sunday mornings and am amazed at how relevant it is. Habakkuk is awesome.
-My son Joel (age 7) is now the biggest football fan in the world. I think he knows more than me. I'm gonna have to catch up...
-My family is awesome and God is AWESOMER!!!!
- C.S. Lewis

On the church website, blogging software makes a great platform for building a site like that. Wordpress or Movabletype are good and have a lot of themes. MT has built in forum capability which might come in handy for a church site.
I also hear that Bloo package is pretty nice too. I know the developer, he's a pretty good guy. :-D
Website tip: use real pictures of people in your congregation and keep it simple.
Shrode!!!
I LOVE Habakkuk. It's seriously one of my favorite books (and I don't just mean in the Bible).
I'd love to sit in on one of your Daycare sermons.
My nephew has rheumatoid arthritis, too, so it's good to hear that your son's all right now. Kids suffering is no bueno.
Habakkuk is excellent. Maybe you should preach on that to the daycare kids. ;)
Wow!
Praying that the arthritis stays away. I have a bit and my tiny pain is a pain, having a Tiny in pain is heart breaking.
Happy Birthday mine is also this month.
Sick of politics so I’ll skip that one.
You’re a good man to visit those in need.
You don’t need to be overly creative on a web site, we’ve seen some that are. *-* Yiks!
Cool age of kids to talk to!
You are blessed!
Thanks for the update and have a happy!
