If you are as graphically challenged as I am when it comes to logo design, you might check out some of the free graphic generators online like cooltext.

I do have one you could take a look at if you’d like. Where do I send it?

My six-year-old daughter played soccer for the first time this year. When I suggested she move around a bit on the field, she told me pointedly she was “defense.” When I told her to go help the other “Defense” player, she put her hands on her hips and said “Dad… have you ever even played soccer?” I’m in trouble.

As for my two nephews, well all I’ve got to say is that they have kept me laughing and kept me convicted ever since they were old enough to talk! It’s amazing what comes out of a kid’s mouth.

Finally, responding to RV’s post, we often lose perspective don’t we? Even some of the “big stuff” that we’re sweating pales in comparison to those kind of life and death issues. At church Wednesday night I realized that when we say that God is all-knowing that it means that He knows I’m going to fall even before I fall. And He is faithfully there, laying the groundwork for not just the fall, but for the recovery as well. If we can only focus on the aspect that He’s already at the recovery, it would make the fall seem not so bad, huh?

Everyone else:
That cloud of darkness … it’s gone. Just had a great conversation and I’m smilin’ again. My plans .. well, they may or may NOT come together … but at least I got some communication on the matter, which is all I needed. Praise God, He is so good.

am getting ready to have a whole day to myself…Brent is running a sound stage at the fair and my kids are doing yard working at grandparents place. ahhhhh….tam-time! i’ll be working on my book…DO pray!

and are you telling me you DIDN’T cuss??? psh!

tams last blog post..Fill-In-Friday

Jamie – I didn’t know people REALLY listened to those old podcasts. Sorry I don’t really do them anymore, maybe I should. I’m glad you’re recycling them, though.

Sounds like an awesome day for you!

For me … I wrote this post a couple of hours ago and published it with a feel-good smile on my face. Since then, a big cloud of frustration, anger, confusion, and some other nasty emotions have come over me. Well, for one .. my internet @ the house is down, which pretty much screws up the rest of my Friday unless it gets fixed. For two, for some things I can’t really divulge … today was the “last chance” for some things I was really excited about to come through, and they didn’t work out … leaving me frustrated, confused, fighting anger, bitterness … having arguments and vain speculations in my mind. I know that’s not a good place to be, and I’m working on getting it out of me (typing it and confessing it are part of that process) … so pray for me.

I’m praising God for healing my dog of a terrible case of kennel cough. Almost lost him, but for God! Thank You Thank You! My little JoJo .

Im taking an awesome course this summer! We are just finishing up week three of five. The Institute of Contemporary and Emerging Worship Studies, being taught by Dan Wilt. WOW! (http://www.theworshipleader.com/)
I’ve never thought as many thoughts as I have over the past three weeks.

My best time with my new iPod is with the instrumental Worship Interludes music threads on Fred’s blog and also the Highest Praise Worship blogs. Now that’s what an iPod is for! It gives me an opportunity to pack a little bit of Heaven in my pocket, and listen in any time I need a touch of “home” to carry me through the day.
THank you, Fred!

Jamie Burnsides last blog post..This is a Test Posting for My Own Practice

1. My whole team from work got laid-off on Monday
2. I’m working on a new contract leading a new team in an industry I know nothing about (I don’t even think I’m faking it well, anymore)
3. I’ve been praying for maturity, and He’s answering my prayer – and it’s hurting (this actually has nothing to do with the layoff)
4. I’ve realized this week just how task-driven instead of people-driven I get, and how it hurts folks (a lot of the maturity issues)

It’s actually been a pretty rough week, and I’m so glad it’s Friday and almost over.
