the Harbour

Did you miss me? ;)

I've completed the lion's share of my server upgrades. All that's left are a few minor tweaks. So if you see something that I'm hosting that's not working right, please let me know so I can find the problem.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog

(I know - you all though I was dead, didn't you.) ;)

Randy, apparently you need to have a talk with your friend Andrew Jones. He's posted something on his blog about the virtues of a spa as the ideal location for discussions about house churches. Specifically a spa in Austin.

In my "Bible in a Year" reading, today's passage seems somehow appropriate:

[Psalm 140]

The Harbour's blog site has made the big time! TallSkinnyKiwi included a link to it in his most recent posting. Congrats, Randy!
