Hey Wayne! Well I have had the intentions to start it for a while now, but, yes, we just launched it a few weeks ago. Thanks for visiting and I think I still owe you a cup of coffee soon. P.S. Please keep your devotionals coming brother!

Margaret! Great question! Well, My cell phone has a pretty good digital camera on board. I am hoping to get a better phone/camera combo when the iphone comes to verizon, but I won’t hold my breath.

Barry,
Love the article about Girl Scout cookies! You have a great, humorous writing style, somewhat reminiscint of Dave Barry. By the way, there is a Barry Hill Road out here – could it be named after you?
