The Texas Board of Education voted last week to modify its textbook requirements regarding evolution and intelligent design. Here are some links for those interested...seems the decision is pretty split and pretty political (as in, it looks like nobody really wants to take sides in this vote). I'll get around to commenting on this topic at some point. Until then, I give you the news (and remember people...respectful)...

"I wonder, do you know Him?"
I first saw this video at Watermark Community Church one day when Melissa (my girlfriend and best friend) and I went. Check it out, and head to Iginter Media Group for more...
First post...
For those that don't know me...here is how it goes...
I have been wanting to do something like this for a while. I like to write, and I think I have been blessed with a reasonable ability to do so. I have blogged about music before...and Harry Potter...and the Dallas Mavericks...and about wanting to write a book. (Yes, I wrote about wanting to write. I'm strange like that.) But for the past few months...maybe even a year or so...I have been really compelled to take that talent and creativity and use it to further the Kingdom. That is one of the things I think can offer back to God. A little corner of the web, devoted to Him, providing a forum of sorts for thoughts, and discussion, and questions, and (hopefully!) hope and encouragement.
At some point, I'd like to think that many different topics will get discussed on here...not just things on my mind...but on yours as well...or your friend's...or whomever. Let's try to keep it tasteful, and respectful, as there will almost certainly be some different views expressed. This can be a good thing...for me, and for you.
HUGE IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER ABOUT MY WRITING STYLE: I am a huge fan of the ellipsis. You will see "..." all over the place. I type as I think, and my thoughts pause or get interrupted frequently. Hope that isn't a beating to you.
Second post coming up soon...
