I hope this list ends up being comprehensive but I’m really just looking at my book shelf and trying to remember what I read, if for work or pleasure. Of this list I know there are some books i read in full for different courses in the past year that aren’t here because they were…
Read MoreHappy New Year!! Hello 2009
A year has come and gone. Of my years of late this one has been rather uneventful. Aside from started up Nineteen05 back in January and starting Seminary in the spring we have just been chugging along. No major trips (only a handful of weddings), and nothing overly dramatic took place. Don’t believe that I…
Read MoreMen and Women of Today
I mentioned a quote from a book by Henri Nouwen in November (here) and since finishing that book have really connected and identified with Nouwen as an author and a man of God. In much the same way as I have connected with Andrew Murray (19th Century author) who I have read a number of…
Read MoreEnd of an era, begining of a new one?
Yesterday evening I came across in one of my feeds this article about the passing of Paul Weyrich. His name didn’t initially strike me but the movement that he helped create (along with the late Jarry Falwell) has influenced and, in my opinion, abused the church in America for the last 3 decades. Those two…
Read MoreSun Setting on the American Century… Really?
According to a new government report, America is doomed…. The next two decades will see a world living with the daily threat of nuclear war, environmental catastrophe and the decline of America as the dominant global power, according to a frighteningly bleak assessment by the US intelligence community. “The world of the near future will…

Read MoreMaybe it’s time I updated this theme….
I’m not exactly sure but I believe that the theme on this blog has been here since summer of 2004. For those of you who are wondering, that is probably the longest a single blog has held a single theme, probably ever. Due to my semi-recent rash of theme making for word press (two in…
Read MoreNewish WP Theme: Cotolance
This theme is actually several months old and has been around the block a bit by this point. It is called Cotolance (Coo-toe-lance) and was developed for the company blog of Nineteen05, my web development company. This blog serves as a way for me to share what is coming up on a decade of web…
Read MoreNew WP Theme: Inductaloot
I’ve launched a blogging community for the church as a whole over at www.insightsforchurch.com and just finished setting everything up yesterday. In the setup process I created a theme for the main WP site and called it inductaloot. After installing several plug-ins and modifying some scripts it seems to be working the way I want…
Read MoreUpgraded WP finally…
I can tell that I’ve been spending to much time over at Insights For Church that I only now noticed that I was many versions behind. Now upgraded to the most recent version and it is very nice. Looking forward to the re-vamped layout in version 2.7… Hopefully only a few more weeks away.
