Logos Bible Software is giving away thousands of dollars of prizes to celebrate the launch of Logos Bible Software 4 Mac on October 1. Prizes include an iMac, a MacBook Pro, an iPad, an iPod Touch, and more than 100 other prizes!

They’re also having a special limited-time sale on their Mac and PC base packages and upgrades. Check it out!

I’ve been using the beta for four months after twenty years with WordSearch (no joke, I got it first in 1989 as an intern).  The quality of Logos, the breadth of their product offerings PLUS mac interface…sweetness.  Try it out today!

Like so many things in the Kingdom of God, the best things often come in the smallest of packages.  Think mustard seeds.  A Baby lying in a manger.

Truthfully, the best life-change (which is what authentic Christianity is supposed to be all about, but that’s another article sometime) happens in a small package, aka a small group.  Now the super folks at Small Group Dynamics (follow them on Twitter at http://twitter.com/SmallGroupscom)  have a new resource for small group leaders, their free online Digizine.  You can see this month’s issue AND sign up for a free subscription from this link to their website. When you sign up before August 30, a free iPad is being given away.  Now that could be really big!

How’s that for a huge help for small groups!  Enjoy and spread the word!

So I am sitting in the woods. Why? So I can supervise young men slaughtering one another air-soft style. I guess the point is to make sure the “soft” part stays in play. The truth is those kindly but gentler plastic BBs leave nasty welts at less than 20 yards.
U2 is telling me “you don’t know how beautiful you are.” They are right. When many of my words are like pellets from close range, when my mind doesn’t dwell on the kinder, gentler things; when I so defeated so often, I do wonder.
What is the answer that brings the change, that reveals the True, the beauty that is the Life I knows is in me? I am looking and waiting. Waiting is ok, but some crumbs would sure make the waiting more hopeful.
But I am still waiting.
