Bits and pieces, 2/3/05

Looks like I’m finally on board the digest-post wagon train :-)

**************

I guess we’re in for 6 more weeks of winter (at least...); Punxutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday. So would’ve Western-NY Wayne, had he dug his way out of the snow.

Turns out that Martin LaBar not only shares my appreciation of C. S. Lewis, he shares my enthusiasm for trees! Whaddya know. He’s written an ode to them. He's reflected poetically and Biblically on the significance of leaves as well.

Neil Uchitel links to a lengthy article from Leadership magazine that gives a horrific yet revealing account of a pastor’s sexual addiction. Actually, the physical, mental, and emotional dynamics involved are similar to any addiction, or sin. I think I will write about that sometime.

Rusty Lopez has launched a new blog to display his photography, called Imago Articulus. Seeing his photos all together like that really impresses upon me their boldness, cleanness, clarity, and intensity. (I kinda like them, too ;-) )

He manages to get nice composition, nice effect, great contrast, and all the grey-tones in this shot.

Last but certainly not least, today’s prayer for GodBlogCon: location. Apparently, due to tremendous response, a new facility must be found for the conference.

Also please pray that the Guiding Core Values of the conference will be realized:

*Simplicity
*Relationship
*Inspiration
*Practicality
*Diversity
