Beach labyrinth

I really like this.

If you have problems with the video stopping and starting, just put it on pause and allow it to buffer for a few minutes.

I'm sorry I  haven't mentioned a summertime blogging hiatus sooner.  I'll blog as soon and as soften as I can. :-)

Looks like an interesting book.  Too bad it doesn't come out until 2010 (according to Amazon.com).  Oh well, you can read some of her stuff here.

Love it, love it. 

People need to rethink what it means to "advertize."  Money is better spent tending to the needs of hurting, broken people & leaving the results in God's hands.
