“This is the main difference between the Gospel and philosophy. Although the philosophers speak on the subject of morals splendidly and with praiseworthy ability, yet all the embellishment which shines forth in their precepts is nothing more than a beautiful superstructure without a foundation, for by omitting principles, they propound a mutilated doctrine, like a body without a head.” Paul [in Romans 12:1-2] lays down the principle from which all the parts of holiness flow.” John Calvin

Here’s Matthew after his bath. This is one of our favorite photos of him. Brown is a really good color for him and the brown backround really makes this photo stand out. Doesn’t it look like he’s ready to run around and have some fun!

Usability is important to all of us. If we can avoid frustrations associated with using these computers, then we can have a more enjoyable day.
This article goes over some top ten usability issues for weblog’s (This site is based on weblog software). http://www.useit.com/alertbox/weblogs.html

” Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.” (1 Peter 3:8-9, NIV)
So often we repay evil with evil and insults with insults. I can remember getting into arguments with family and friends and it would often turn into a volley of insults. In the heat of anger, it seems like the natural thing to do, but if there is anything that I’ve learned from the Bible, the natural thing is not always the best thing for us. Imagine how our arguments would take a turn for the better if we could stop our tongue from spitting our insults and start speaking blessings to the people we love. Perhaps we could calm down the anger and speak rationally. Perhaps we can let our loved ones speak out their frustrations and hurts and just listen. Perhaps instead of saying something that hurts, we can say something that heals. That would be a blessing.

Announcements,Thursday, October 13, 2005
I decided to try out a blog format for my website. This will make it easier to add new items.
Not sure how long it will last, but it’s worth a try. If you want to go to the photography galleries, click the gallery category and it will bring you right to it. I will add more announcements as more features and changes are made
I changed the website over to expression engine. I think this time I’ll be staying with this format. The look may change a little, but the way things work is generally going to stay the same.
