Series Visual Concepts

Here are a couple of visual concepts I’m developing for another church for two of their upcoming sermon series:

Lunch in the Park

Surprised Leona the other day with a midday lunch in the park. She’s been working hard getting ready for school to start on Monday, so I thought she needed a nice change of pace.
Apple soda in crystal glasses really dressed up the sandwiches and chips…
Beautiful day; beautiful company.

What Kind of Name is That?

This week our last name came up in a conversation between a friend of ours and someone we’ve never met. When our friend mentioned our name, the guy she was talking to responded obnoxiously with, “Leckie? What kind of name is that?“
What the whatzit? I haven’t heard a line like that since [...]

Notes From My Nightstand

I rarely read only one book at a time. Usually, there are four or five on the burner at any given time. Here’s a snapshot and a few quotes (emphasis mine) from a few of the books I’ve been reading lately:
“The Pursuit of Holiness” by Jerry Bridges

“Introspection can easily become the tool [...]

Blog Lag

I’ve gotten a little behind in my blog reading…

1,306.  That’s the number of posts of blogs I’m subscribed to that I haven’t yet read.
Generally speaking, I love Bloglines.  It helps me follow a lot of blogs without having to individually go to all of those sites.  (See the sidebar for subscribing to my blog, by [...]

Cool Scratch

On the day of the “freezer fiasco,” I was sawing some wood and a stray chunk “attacked” me.   I prefer, however,  to tell people that I acquired the “cool scratch” in a cougar fight.
Don’t give me away.

Lord of the Freezer Flies

Call me “Lord of the Flies.” Or rather, call me “Lord of the Freezer Flies.” But before you go getting all theological on me and start freaking out because you think I’ve just admitted to being Beelzebub, allow me to ‘splain. No. There’s not time for that. Let me sum up…
I [...]

The Truck In The Way

The other day, I stopped to help a guy who had run off the road. His truck was in the ditch and there was a small cut on his forehead as a result of his accident.

I tried pushing the truck from behind while he put his foot on the accelerator, but it was soon [...]

Matters of Metal

Turns out it wasn’t the fan motor after all. It was the “fan wheel.” Somehow it shifted and busted and there we were without a/c. Well, the air is now working in our house again, and last night was one of the best nights of sleep I’ve had in a long time.

And [...]

Retro Post: Thoughts On Spiritual Growth

Here’s this week’s “retro post” from my old blog:
I’ve discovered something about spiritual growth and maturity that really isn’t that profound. It is, however true:
“Knowing and not doing” = Pride, Bitterness, or Both.
OR
“Doing and not knowing” = Pride, Bitterness, or Both.
I believe this basic “formula” is true with rare, if any, exception.
Have you [...]
