Here are my top 10 stars of last week. For those who are new to reading this blog, this is a post I normally do on a weekly basis that I haven’t done in a while so I thought I would bring it back this week. Each week as I go through my rss reader…

Major Fender Bender, Fender Guitar That Is
Here is a question for you. What do you do if you are in the thrift shop and you see a ridiculous deal on this? Well, if you are me, you grab it fast! Opportunity almost never knocks when you are ready to receive it. It is more like a neighbor, who, having something very…

Do You Participate in Pingback or Trackback?
Are you generally a user of the system or are you an active participator in the process? Using a pingback can have several benefits for you as the one who uses the link, but it also benefits the person or company you are linking to when Google comes around to index all the relevant pages.…

The Reddest Red Found in a Flower Bloom
Some images just jump out at me when I see them in nature, this one I loved because of its deep color. This will be posted as my first image of the day on this blog. I love contrasting colors in nature and two of the best (in my opinion) is when you can find…

Administrative Note on My Blog
Just to notate this date, all blog entries prior to this were moved over from a blog Deborah and I kept under a different title, but for the same purpose as this blog. They are not daily posts, but still what we were doing in LA at the time.

Does a Church Really Need a Website?
I have been working with church websites since I first became a believer around 1995 and offered to do website work for a large church in Birmingham. Of course, this was long before churches decided that having a web presence was just as important for them as it was for the local civic center, and…

What is Your Blog or Internet Business Worth on eBay or Sitepoint?
This question comes up quite a bit, but when you are talking about individuals businesses or blogs, not a corporation, the simple answer is, probably not as much as you think. Certainly not as much as you have put into it. One of my favorite things to watch is Buy it Now prices on eBay…

Music Can Be the Soul of Worship, but Can Led Zeppelin?
I can’t imagine worship without music. There are some Believers that do not feel music has a place in the church, or if it does, it is of one form or another. I view music as a gift from God, but I don’t just listen to one genre of music, I have a large collection…

Slipping Into a New Home at the Marina in Orange Beach
We have been at slip E-12 for about a year now and it was not the most comfortable place for our sailboat. It was a little small and we never could get the lines tied off correctly to keep her from smashing into a pier once in a while when the winds or wakes peaked.…

Pressure Washing a Sailboat in a Gale Warning, Really
Before we left from our other home, we had planned on using this weekend down at the boat as a cleaning weekend. We were trying to beat the Spring breakers who were arriving soon, along with all the regulars for the summer. We were hoping to hit a slow time in between Spring break, snow…

When Batteries Explode, Remove Them and Return to Walmart
We came down to the boat this time to find that we had a little battery issue, one didn’t like being charged over the last few weeks and just blew its top (or side as it looks). Most boats and sailboats have a battery compartment and we have three batteries on board. One starting battery…

Visiting a New Church Called Cornerstone Church in Auburn
Some days feel like a new beginning on a diverted pathway where the bend in the road has been met and a new direction is started. Not a path that will eventually meet back at the original road, but a new direction that has not yet been carved. Sometimes visiting a new church can give…
