Resurrection

at 02/21/10 8:21AM

After more than a year and a half of lifelessness, I felt it was time. Yesterday I made a momentous decision and with loving hands, some new pull cord, a little WD40, and too-many-to-count attempts to start, I brought life back to my lawn mower. I then mowed down the unusual tares that were taking unfair advantage of my St. Augustine grass that has suffered through this most unusual winter. Quite satisfying!

congratulations on your resurrection. :-)

Ha ha! Gene did the same thing Friday! It looked like plumes were growing in our yard!

Yea, I shoveled snow this morning.

That makes me want to sweep off the doormat in front of my apartment.

semi-regularly. Every other month whether she needs it or not.

Tell Wanda I am sorry. I do not listen to the messages, that is Sterlings dept. Things have been so crazy around here that I have let alot of things slide. I remember now Allison mentioning that she had called but it just went right out of my mind. I will try to get in touch with her tonight.

by mockinbird at 03/09/10 3:23PM
Tell Wanda that Allison cell# is 630_301_8090

She is getting married April 30th and they are planning a Texas honeymoon.

Got your card when we got back. Thanks for the beach picture while we look at the thermometer sitting at -3.

by mockinbird at 01/02/10 10:50AM
Stayin' warm?? With my new gloves and boots our mid teens temps aren't feeling too bad this evening. Supposed to take a big dip down this weekend now that the snow is over. That's the deal, it has to warm up enough to snow, but then, BRRRRR

Thank you! I had found the church where Tom preaches on line and called and talked to him today. After giving his number to Koko, I emailed him at the address the website provided, but I'll go ahead and email him at the one you gave me, too. Thanks so much!

Tomorrow's the Day

at 12/16/09 11:44PM

Today was my last official day at work for 2009 as I will be burning vacation for the remainder of the year. Consequently, I will dashing out early to do my Xmas shopping. Wanda handles the bulk of "our shopping" because, let's face it, she is better equipped having tons more of the shopping gene than I do. I get to buy her gifts from her 2-page, small font, Gifts for all Occasions list. We both have these lists on the desktop of our computers to make sure if one of us gets the bug to buy the other one something that we have a good chance of buying them something they will actually want. Score one for me as this was my idea.

Merry Ho Ho to you all.

You score two points for that flash of brilliance.

by deblue at 12/17/09 2:00AM
And it sounds like Wanda loved the idea..."2-pages, small font"...haha! Enjoy your lengthy vacation with the family.

by aleta at 12/17/09 8:52AM
Alex and I are SOOO making that same list! Thanks for the idea!

by whipsmile at 12/17/09 10:24AM
BRILLENT!!!!

by mockinbird at 12/17/09 2:55PM
It is funny you should say that. Jill does not like it that we are naming the baby Jenna Joayn. She always says "we can't call her that. That's my gramma's name." So Jill, on her own decided to that she would call her Jo-Jo. I kinda think it's cute.

by mister_c at 12/22/09 11:54AM
It was nice to bump into you at Wal-mart the other day! i hope you get your Sudoku and KenKen (sp?) books for xmas! :)

How Do I Create a Web Site for our Congregation?

at 11/12/09 4:26PM

How do I learn about how to create and manage a web site? I looked at on-line courses at the local community college and they were $3,000. I thought about just buying the software and reading the book but that sounds too mechanized and not terribly creative. I understand about registering a domain name and paying a service to host the site, but how do you take the first step toward making it happen?

Also, what features do you find most useful on church web sites?

HELP!!!

Jeff Clark, one of our deacons, has done ours. If you like - and no one on here gives you any tips - I can put you in touch with him.

by aleta at 11/12/09 4:36PM
http://www.avenuenchurchofchrist.org/

That's the link to ours.

by aleta at 11/12/09 4:39PM
I still have the files from an old website I did for the church in Clute a long time ago. It was just kind of a shell model, but it had the basic info.

What to include: Address, phone, email, meeting announcements, meeting days & times, what to expect, invitation to visitors, and date the site was last updated. Many churches post the names of the elders and regular preacher(s). On your additional pages, you might have directions to the building, sermon outlines or downloadable content, some historical information on the local group, and some helpful links. Let me know if you need anything.

by deblue at 11/13/09 7:32PM
So sorry, yes safely arrived and now on her way home.
Bubba wanted you to know he weighed 180 this morning.
I hate him

by mockinbird at 11/28/09 3:43PM
I can't even picture you without a stache

by mister_c at 12/01/09 1:18PM
yes

by mockinbird at 12/04/09 3:09PM
Found your page from Josh and figured I'd comment.
Don't spend money on software. Find a website you like, right click and select "view source", then check out google for some HTML tutorials and mix the two. If not, you should spend the money to hire someone to do the work.

by madtomkidd at 12/05/09 5:34PM
Yeah, definitely don't pay money for building the site.
http://www.w3schools.com
is the best site web design site that I've found. It's free, too.
Anything I can help with is free also.

by deblue at 12/06/09 2:50PM
of course :)

by mister_c at 12/09/09 2:25PM

They just don't write 'em like they used to

at 10/15/09 8:57AM

by aleta at 10/15/09 9:19AM
Oh thanks alot, now I'll have that stuck in my head all day.

by mockinbird at 10/15/09 9:25AM
Happy Birthday!!!! I was wondering, do you keep Wanda Jo up to date on the goings on you read about?

by mister_c at 10/15/09 2:39PM
unfortunately, I was thinking singing bears and pizza

by mockinbird at 10/15/09 3:04PM
NO!!!! Chuckie Cheese and the mechnical singing bears. You take your kids there for birthday parties and such. Do they have those in Texas?

by mockinbird at 10/16/09 3:00PM
