A little bit of news about this blog. It is going to be down starting late Sunday/early Monday until probably Wednesday. Lots of changes will be taking place during that time. If all goes to plan there will be a whole new look to this blog. Nothing should change with your RSS feeds, so look for a post on Wednesday.

Rose and I are extremely grateful for all the gracious feedback we received from my post on Thursday. We received a lot of Facebook messages, phone calls, blog comments, and emails. Thank you friends.

News

• Billboard fail.
• Why a Republican is leading the charge behind gay marriage in California.
• You too could be on the great show Glee. They’re using social media to add to their group.
• 7 traits of highly successful bloggers.
• Famous atheist, Christopher Hitchens, recently came to Portland to do a debate on atheism and Christianity (great stuff here, but I have to complain that the person debating him was a Unitarian minister who hardly even understood Christian doctrines).

Grace and peace.
