A Holy Site

The church website is well on its way. I received a tonne of content to add in over the past few days, and have been duly overwhelmed.
It took nearly a year to get everyone to agree on what to do. We got caught up in font types, background colours, programming jargon, server issues, budget discussions …. (you get the idea).
As a result, I spent most of the time designing, redesigning and re-redesigning the website – not just as mockups but real HTML pages, only to find out that the purpose had changed in the meantime and the simpler layouts couldn’t cope with the added content. It was a case of having too many cooks.
But now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! So: this new site won’t be very colourful. So it won’t have lots of eye-catching animated gifs which move across the screen. It won’t have midi music that plays immediately upon loading, and I dare say every page will now look consistent and have a nav bar. Working on it now makes me happy.
In fact, this is probably the only worthwhile thing I’ve done for the whole year.

    Some of you have seen me through my darkest moments, when I rejected the Light, thinking I could carve out my own destiny. Temptation haunted me, causing my life to spiral out of control. But I now know the true path, and I trust in my Shepherd to guide me through the Valley of Darkness….

    Today’s sermon was the last in the series on [Ecclesiastes](http://ebible.com/bible/ecclesiastes). It’s a sobering book which can sound pretty depressing, summed up by the phrase “Everything is meaningless!”. This tone of despair sounds strange as it comes from King Solomon, who you’d imagine was the smartest, richest King of Israel. He realised all his accomplishments would…

  • Matchmaker

    God has a sense of humour. And matchmaking skills, to boot. A few months ago, a new church mate joined my Bible Studies group. We hadn’t met her before, but a few of us had seen her singing in the choir. She was either referred, or felt drawn to, our group, perhaps because we were…

  • Antisocial

    Nobody ever said it was going to be easy, but this time I’m really feeling the brunt of it. Giving testimony and being asked to help at Alpha just upped the pressure – don’t think I’m any ‘better’ than any one of you, because I still have my ‘down’ moments and I’m experiencing one right…

  • Confirmation

    I got confirmed today – this time in Church, by our Anglican bishop. Fortunately he didn’t ask us any trick questions! I feel confirmation is more a man-made tradition, so I was less excited about it than my baptism. Nonetheless, I learnt more about the church’s history and practices in catechism class. Anyway I won’t…

    So, the battle has begun again. I have reason to believe that we have been followed onto the new premises. Just an hour ago, I put on a Christian music CD. Everyone else was fast asleep in their rooms. My Sony CD player has lasted for twenty years and does not usually stop by itself….
