I’ve just added a screenshot to my design portfolio for work I did for kirkyouth.net
Kirkyouth is the youth ministry of Kirkplace Church. This website is hosted for free at www.wordpress.com and is a basic customisation of one of their free templates.

Close followers on twitter would know that one of my favourite cafes is at the Carriageworks in Eveleigh. The Carriageworks is more than just a cafe, it’s a “a bold new arts centre, dedicated to the development and presentation of the contemporary arts.” The building is over 100 years old and was originally used to build trains. So it’s a cool combo of old school with new school. I took Rowena and Sam there last week and got some good (for a mobile phone) photos in one of the warehouses.

Hey party people. Good news – we have the internet back at home! 2.5 months without it was a little bit inconvenient. I don’t want to use this blog to publicly shame our old internet and telephone provider (if you’re looking for internet and want to steer clear of them, ask me in person), but it’s worth saying that TELSTRA have been super helpful in getting the phone line working again and TPG likewise have been rockin the suburbs getting the internet flowing again. Woot. While on the subject of corporate advertising – we’ve recently changed mobile companies to VODAFONE. I have that free nights and weekends to other Vodafone peeps. Let me know if you’re also on Vodafone.
That’s my selection from this month’s Smashing Magazine desktop calendars.

Graham Stanton wrote a great post today about some of the dangers he’s found since using twitter. He paraphrases 1 Corinthians 6:12 – ‘Twitter is permissible, and may even be beneficial; but I will not be mastered by anything’ and then outlines his strategies for not being mastered by twitter. Here are his four points:
4. Missing what’s happening because I’m telling other people what’s happening
3. Being constantly occupied with thinking I should be tweeting something profound
2. Mistaking Twitter for the Bread of Life
1. Living my life for the praise of men

Failing to thank God is one of the symptoms of sin and rebellion (Romans 1:21). It follows, therefore, that part of repenting of sin and turning to God is being thankful to God. Colossians (in the Bible) has a thankfulness thread that runs through the letter.
Paul is thankful to the Father that the Christians in Colossae have their faith in Jesus (Colossians 1:3). He then encourages them, as those who’ve been forgiven by God, to likewise give thanks to the Father (Col 1:12). Presumably, part of their conversion to Jesus was shown in thankfulness, hence Paul urges them to continue to be overflowing with thankfulness (Col 2:7).
In chapter 3 they are then urged to “be thankful” in response to the peace that Jesus brings (verse 15). In the next sentence they are to teach and sing with thankfulness to God (verse 16). And then finally, the section closes with a verse that suggests that thankfulness is to be an all-consuming characteristic of the Christian life: “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (verse 17)
Be thankful.
