Picture life … what image comes to mind?

Today’s reading in The Purpose Driven Life poses a question:
If I asked how you picture life, what image would come to your mind? That image is your life metaphor. … It’s your description of how life works and what you expect from it.

Celebrating God’s Work with a Big K

Evan just posted the highlights from one of the most original projects I’ve seen our Fishhook team lead (well done, Leah and team!) Besides just being a really cool event, I most appreciate what Evan said about it:

My Facebook Anniversary

On a bus somewhere around Bowling Green, KY, my friends JD, Jeff and Jenn convinced me to get on my iPhone and sign up for Facebook.
I balked, thinking it was just another animal to feed. Now a year later, Facebook has become one of the top five Web sites I visit every day. Why? [...]

Summer in My Rearview Mirror

My nephew, Sean, goes back to school later than any kid I know, so when he does I consider it the official end of summer. He went back this week, so I guess summer 2008 is a wrap.
Before I pull out the Fall decorations and start lighting the pumpkin candles, I wanted to celebrate [...]
