catching up on blogs revealed a “backlash” against the finalists for the future brand brand america contest - of which i placed 2nd. i’ve posted in the comments links to my full entry, so we’ll see what comes of that. (as of 9am today, my comments were awaiting moderation)

i want to lash back and say what’s really on my mind, but that’s not needed or beneficial to anyone. so here’s me trying to stay positive about this all.

apparently, some christians in new york have taken to praying over the bull statue, which some are comparing to the golden calf statue (baal) of the old testament.

i do profess to be a christian and believer of Jesus Christ. i do believe we should pray to God for the things that are on our heart. however, i think praying for “more money” starts to cross the line into selfishness. why all the concern now, since it’s our economies? how often do we pray for the economies of africa?

on the same note, i’ve been told the average church-goer gives less than 2% back. so are we praying for more money to keep more?

i just got onto stuff christians like, a hilarious blog. check it out. two of my favorites so far are “frisbee is God’s favorite sport” and “the elisah mural“

amazing the effect when one (well designed) theme is carried out to every detail. it makes me want to get married again… to the same woman of course! amazing wedding design

1st corinthians 16.14 — do everything in love.

it’s kind of hard to always put this into action in my life. it’s easy to lose site of this simple statement in the rough times. keep hold of it and much seems to float away.

getting the new website up was the latest project. now i move on to 2-3 other projects. stay tuned for updates…

neopsalms - a collection of conversations between people and God
16.14 - what is love today through the eyes of people
shopping cart footprint - as yet to be renamed, a commentary on society’s work ethic

it’s interesting making a new website. since it’s for myself, i must set a deadline to get going. well, i finally did. the old version of my website can still be found if you’d like to see where i’ve come from.
