Either write or design

My life doesn't have a lot of "both and" in it. You can either do one thing or the other. I can either paint my house, or I can write. Not both. I can either pray about my life or write about my life. Both together has never worked well. I can either improve the design of my site, or I can write my site. Not both. So last night I stayed up tweaking the design of this front page. The new image in the title is of the collegiate range taken from the top of Mt Democrat (which I hiked with a bunch of Republicans) in June. First 14er. It speaks to me of several things:

• What is far away growing clearer with the perspective that our God brings.
• The everpresent challenge that God brings into our lives - and his help to get through them.
• Collegiate - intellectual - life. What my heart yearns for and my life so often does not allow.

More tweaks coming. In the interest of disclosure I need to add a "friendly links" section to my sidebar so that all can see who I am reading. I need to add the "who am I" document - so the anonymous web becomes a little less so. And then on to the writings and photos on this site - which could desperately use some improvement. And the css for the page doesn't look too good in Netscape or Firefox. I used to browse only on IE, but now have been using Firefox - so I need to fix this... As you probably can tell - this blogging thing has been fits and starts for me. There is a journal blog that is not publicly available that has more consistency - but writing for the world has been on again / off again. My committment now is to post every day. But sometimes it has just got to be simple housekeeping, rather than serious dialogue.
