“ In God’s word we always find fasting connected with a very troubled spirit or a very anxious heart before the Lord. So a reason for fasting is not something you choose on the spur of the moment. Rather the reason is a consuming one. In a sense, it’s not something you choose, so much as something that chooses you, because it’s that important.

» When Fitness Means Life or Death

Are you fit enough to save your own life?

That’s the premise of a new reality show from Discovery Health that premieres tonight. Called “Fit to Live,” it’s based on Dr. Pamela Peeke’s book of the same name and raises the question of whether you have the strength, endurance and agility to escape a natural disaster, flee a burning building or pull your family from a wrecked car.

USB technology is merveilleux!!!

This is where I stake out with my laptop to study at school. This is a really comfy chair at the end of a long hallway. It’s facing a sunny window too. It’s my study chair.

Video Project Idea

I have been given an assignment to visually represent the notion of a database via moving image. It being January Prayer Month at my church, I thought about the hundreds of prayer requests that pass over the altar during the successive weeks. I have the idea of taking all of the prayer requests at the end of this month and making a curtain/matrix to convey the idea of a database. Each request represents the hopes and aspirations of an individual as they cry out to God. This raw emotion fueled by faith is the energy perhaps that I will attempt to portray through a written monologue, the matrix being the backdrop of the video. I even got a confirmation when I logged on to a online bible, the scripture below appeared…

“

7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

— Matthew 7:7-8

» I Love Typeworkshop

A website provided to me for my typography class, a really engrossing website!

Spacing in typography is very important. It can make or break the reading rhythm.
