Davinci Blog Ad Boycotted

Recently, in response to the movie "The Da Vinci Code", our team has been working to build a website which would allow people to come and discuss their thoughts on the movie/book and hopefully to engage with us in spiritual discussions. Part of this initiative involved the purchase of an ad spot in theatres before showings of the movie. The ad spot simply advertized an opportunity to "Seek the Truth" with a link to www.discussdavinci.com....

The Car Situation

Well, the car situation is continuing. As you may know, we've been having on-and-off issues with Carolanne's car. I think now we really are coming to the point where we need to replace it. Please pray for us that the Lord would give us wisdom in how best to proceed. Our options currently are Buy a new car that we can customize exactly to the way we need it.

Life these days has been super busy both with day-to-day work at the office, as well as trying to fit support team building into our evenings. Essentially, I've been trying to do two seperate full jobs in addition to spending time with my wife and managing our household. Suffice to say, life's been rather rough lately, and I must admit, there are lots of times when I wonder, why it's so difficult to do something...

Preparing for Staff Conf. 2005

As we're getting ready for driving down to staff conference, I can't help but wonder what kinds of things are going to go wrong with the websites while we're gone. Things seem pretty stable right now, except for the fact that we have a potential hacker, but it seems that there are always problems which come up at the worst of times. I guess it's sort of a pessemistic perspective, to be worried about what...
