I swung by today to do a few website updates of various kinds.<\/strong> There’s been a bit of a website theme in life lately, as I’ve been trying to do a few things on mine and help a few people with theirs. And my friend Tim helped me<\/em> out too, by sending me a new logo for my headache website – check it out<\/a>. He’s not only a pastor, but a graphic designer – can you beat that?<\/p>\n

Here at Finding direction<\/strong>, you’ll notice the addition of a picture to the right. I bit the bullet and updated our Gallery software, and now it’s more or less integrated into this blog. That should make certain things a whole lot easier when it comes to posting updates here. And in the case of this website, easier and quicker are words I like to hear, because it means less time at the keyboard! Now you should be able to see here when the photo gallery is updated – one less place you need to check. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

You’ll also notice a funny little bunch of words way down the main blog page on the right. That’s a tag cloud. It shows graphically what topics are most talked about here, and you can click on a word to see all posts on that topic. It’s like the categories, but more…organic. Most of the bigger topics are<\/em> categories, since they’re included. More words will be added automatically as the months pass.<\/p>\n

Offline, we’ve had some great visits with friends over the past few days. Coming up will be more of a family theme, with visits to and from aunts and uncles and grandparents and nephews and nieces. There will also be a church theme, as I will be speaking at the South Calgary Chinese Evangelical Free Church<\/strong> (about 15min SW) this coming Sunday. Then over the next few weeks we’ll be at Cremona Country Fellowship<\/strong> (about 1 hour NW), and also at Maidstone Baptist Church<\/strong> (about 5.5 hours NE). Check our Yahoo! Calendar for more details.<\/p>\n

I know, you all want to know if I’m done my course<\/strong>. The answer is still – almost. With some unexpected things coming up and some poundings from migraine attacks, I’m a little behind. But Lord willing I’ll be sending off my last assignment on Wednesday, and writing my final exam a few days later.<\/p>\n

Just when we thought things were slowing down, it looks like our week is packed with activity. But tonight Shari got invited out to see the men’s qualifying free skate at the World Figure Skating Championships<\/a>. How cool is that? So tonight, it’s the kids and I – I’d better run (and I’ll keep on running ’til they’re in bed)!<\/em><\/p>\n

Too late – Nathanael’s here and he wants to say…<\/p>\n
