Application Notes Application Once again, the amount of action recorded in Mark 3 is stunning. Mark wastes no time on frivolous details or extraneous transitions.

What a day Sunday was at Debra Heights Wesleyan Church! Here are some thoughts.

After installing it, it ran part of the bulletins, but then the copy machine displayed a message about […]

Application Notes Application When I was a kid, I was fascinated by the story of the Titanic. Not the James Cameron movie that was only recently surpassed as the highest-grossing movie of all time, but the actual Titanic. Even if you don’t know the details, chances are that you at least know the main gist […]

Is anyone else freaked out that this is the last week of February, 2010? It doesn’t seem right that we’re in 2010, much less that we’re almost two whole months in! But here we are, and here are some thoughts about yesterdays service! The morning started off on a little bit of a scary note. […]
