the year is coming to an end.

the last quarter of 2009 has proven to be the least-blogged period in recent history.

seriously…people aren’t posting anymore, including me.

i very much want that to change.

so let me ask you this:

why do YOU think people are blogging less?

too busy?

too distracted by microblogging?

or do you think the trend is coming to an end?

lay it on me.

very soon.

i think they probably have a pretty good practice routine…

as we face the modern world with all its trouble and turmoil and with all it difficulties and sadness, nothing is more important than that we who call ourselves Christian, and who claim the Name of Christ, should be representing our faith in such a way before others, as to give them the impression that
here is the solution, and here is the answer.”

{ D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones }

it’s tuesday.

do you know about positive post tuesday?

pastor greg laurie has been posting these short, devotional videos recently which help focus our thoughts on God and to remember all that He has done for us.

this video is entitled Why Should I Give Thanks To God?

it’s a fair question and deserves a thoughtful, Biblical answer.

today i hope you discover a little more of how much God loves you and all that He desires to do in and through your life here on the earth.

it’s tuesday. be positive!

blessings.

she’d be sneakier if she didn’t have that bell around her neck.

last year my friend luke mundy suggested that we make a christmas ep to give away on our blogs.

it was a little last minute, but we decided to go for it and i am very glad that we did.

we had a wonderful time getting it done for the 2008 christmas season.

this year the tradition continues with the Noel ep.

4 songs, free to you, that you might be reminded of the precious gift we received from God, who sent His only begotten Son to live, die and rise again.

all for us.

not enough gets given away for free these days, so Noel (along with the With Us EP) are available at no cost, no spam and no strings attached.

many thanks to sean munoz for partnering with me on this year’s project. his creativity, musicality and friendship made the process tons of fun, while also helping me learn some things along the way.

sean and i hope you enjoy the songs and, most importantly, we hope that they remind you of Jesus.

blessings and merry christmas!

thanksgiving is gone.

which means that it’s time for my favorite christmas-time tradition.

enjoy.

it rained a little in our neck of the woods yesterday. when it was over (and kelly and i were unloading our christmas tree), i squealed like a small child and told the mrs. to get the camera so i could capture our western sky.

blessings.
