Little help here?

So I’m trying to figure out exactly what this blog will look like over the next couple of years. I’ve committed myself to putting some serious time into RLP. I thought maybe you could help me think about this.

News from my Other Job

Many of you who read this blog know that I've had to take a job on the side. For ten years or so I designed websites along with my job as pastor of Covenant Baptist Church. I picked up some writing and blogging income along the way and stopped doing web design for a time, which was nice.

But our family has some unique health issues. Just keeping us insured and purchasing our medications is now more than our house payment used to be. But I'm not complaining. We have insurance and medication, which means we're better off than many. So I've gone back to web design. This time working for a great company, Jethro Management. It's good honest work, so I'm glad to do it.

I did feel a little bad about losing time for my writing, which I have. But the truth is, if you must write you will. And if you're not driven to write, then you won't, even if you have all the time in the world.

I feel a little funny doing this, but the truth is, I need the work. So if you need a website, particularly if you want one that is easy to maintain and can integrate seamlessly with social media, please contact me. Or give my name to anyone who does. I'd appreciate it!

Okay, so I'm excited this week because two of my projects went live. Both are Drupal content managed systems, both make use of RSS feeds and social media for fresh content.


The first is AlzCare, a company that runs specialized care facilities for Alzheimer's patients. We had an outside theme designer do the Drupal theme for this, and I did the graphic work.


The second is Woodland Baptist Church, a church here in town that is, like my own church, associated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Their pastor is a friend of mine. I did all the work on this site, including designing the Drupal theme.

I managed the process for the building of the Woodland website, and Gordon was so great to work with. I highly recommend him. If, by the way, you click over there and see any weirdness, it's most likely from me messing around with the back end of the site. I'm getting my feet wet!

I live right around the corner from Woodland. I think the bluebonnets on their property were the only ones I saw this year.

Nice looking site!

Astounding

That is astounding that your health costs are more than the cost of your house! Though it seems like web design is a fantastic choice for a job on the side because it is in so demand. I'll pass your information along! casino online

My Latest Book

turtles I’m proud to announce that Turtles All The Way Down came out in November of 2009. This was my first experience with the Consafo model of social media community publishing.

2000 copies were printed. We sold well over 500 as advance purchases or in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This paid for the printing costs completely.

Purchase at GracefullThings.
