I Heart Video-chats

I love Skype (username: RugglesCreative).
I can chat with my brother (above) and friends back in Fort Wayne even though they’re 2 hours away. The kids get to show Grandpa and Grandma a new outfit they just got or the latest acrobatic stunt even though we’re 5 hours from them. We get to stay in touch [...]

(ht: CakeWrecks)
Hey, my eyes are up here! Don’t you know it’s rude to stare? Even if the baby shower cake is modeled after the mom-to-be.
I think this cake would liven up your average baby shower. I mean, just watching a room full of women in flamingo capris and sun dresses trying to compliment, much less [...]

You Know You’re Churched If…

Weekend Design Watch: I’m Good, I’m Gone

I may have a different taste than most when it comes to music videos but I thought this new music video from Swedish indie pop artist Lykke Li (wiki) was pretty amazing. The costumes, choreography and stop-motion photography captured and held my attention right to the end.
As an added bonus, if you like this video [...]

3 Ways To Become A Generous Giver

On Wednesday I wrote about poverty for the Blog Action Day. I’ve found that most people by nature want to give to those in need. We saw that during the tragedy of September 11 or in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. However most people will tell you that they’re already stretched to their financial limit [...]

I’ve Been Churched

My Review of ‘Churched’ by Matthew Paul Turner

I received an advance copy of Churched in the mail a couple of weeks ago and was anxiously looking forward to reading it. I knew it was going to be good because only great writers get to use their first, last and middle name on the book cover.
