"You Suck at Photoshop" is an international phenomenon. It's witty, irreverent, hilarious, and is also excellent education on Photoshop usage. Enjoy, even though you suck.

Via LIfehacker, here's a set of Photoshop tutorials that looks pretty comprehensive. Compare to You Suck at Photoshop, which is clearly funnier.

David Fitch looks at the complexity of making converts and disciples in the missional church and a post-Christendom world. Is the Gospel too small? Is it too big?

Fantastic little story about simplifying your home.

We just spent a LOOONG day on Saturday going through our garage. One truck trip to the dump; another truck trip to the charity donation center. I've got one shelf of stuff to put on Craigslist (those items which I think are worth the time and effort to try to sell).

I have a few more things to think through – the box of saved guitar magazines and photo magazines that I refer to occasionally; the rack of CDs that I want to go through and see if I've ripped the interesting stuff from.

I also have another round of frenzied activity that has to happen in my office. One more guitar is going on sale; thinning out the book herd; rearranging the desks to be more efficient.

Also I could *really* use a good rolling tool chest, if anybody reading this wants to donate one.

Read, contemplate, and implement.

“An end-time army has one common purpose — to aggressively take ground for the kingdom of God under the authority of Jesus Christ, the Dread Champion.”

Maybe we have been telling the wrong story. What if instead of a sci-fi thriller, we are supposed to be telling a love story?

Documentary about women and mothers as artists. Looks like it's going to be excellent – released soon.

Good, truthful, a bit sarcastic and fully witty. Thanks to Adele Booysen for this one!
