Me Brad. Me Mighty Hunter.

Me Brad. Me Mighty Hunter.

A Prayer For Justice

A Prayer For Justice

My friend Curtis had an awesome idea on his blog. He asked the question, What if we wrote a prayer for justice together? If you could pray (big) for justice, what would you pray? This was my prayer…

Facebook Flirts

Facebook Flirts

Facebook is an interesting medium because it allows you to connect with people that you have seen or heard from in years. If you’re a married couple that presents some unique situations because in many cases some of the friend requests you receive come from people you knew and hung out with well before you knew your spouse…

The Great Junkyard In The Sky

The Great Junkyard In The Sky

This is a computer-generated artist’s impression released by the European Space Agency (ESA) that depicts an approximation of 12,000 objects in orbit around the Earth. It’s pretty amazing to think that each of those specks represent hundreds of millions of dollars and serve as some important part of a communications or defense infrastructure…

Fly Like An Eagle

Fly Like An Eagle

Check out this video. The real fun starts 50 seconds in. Dang, I wish I were cool enough to have a wingsuit and throw around words like “base jump” and “proximity fly.”

One In Five

One In Five

KristiApplesauce, who lives and works in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, shared some sobering statistics and photos on her blog yesterday. “The newest statistics states that one in five South African adults are infected with HIV/AIDS. Last week we had a few people visiting and we took them to a cemetery that a few of our friends are buried in and it is staggering to see this fairly new cemetery grow and grow even in the short time we have lived here. It goes on for miles and miles…”

7 Keys To Raising A Good Christian Family

7 Keys To Raising A Good Christian Family

Today’s highly sarcastic post is my first collaborative effort. I had some ideas and turned to my amazingly witty and creative buddy Curtis Honeycutt to help me out. Keep in mind, he helped write this before he got those cool new glasses. Imagine how much more creative he is now! Rumor has it he went up 10 IQ points the day he got them.

Star Wars Lines Improved By Replacing A Word With “Pants”

Star Wars Lines Improved By Replacing A Word With “Pants”

I don’t normally forward, let alone post, these email-forward-style lists. But when Chad Twittered about this yesterday I was laughing like a teenager who first discovered the fortune cookie “in bed” joke. By now you know I’m a Star Wars fan so maybe that’s why I found this so funny…

A Blog Post Header in Photoshop

A Blog Post Header in Photoshop

I get asked a lot about how I accomplish certain effects for the graphics on my web site. I thought today I’d walk you through a very basic explanation of how to use multiple layers and effects to add texture and depth to an image. The example we’ll use is the header graphic I created for last Friday’s Valentine post. I chose this image because it’s a good example…
