No more SVP

After many months of evaluating and managing, I have decided to discontinue the use of the Synapse Visual Productions name. While I will continue to do contracted web work, I will no longer be doing it under the umbrella of SVP.

It all boiled down to the fact that with my job and ministry load (the latter of which hasn’t been much, but still), that I need to focus more time and energy on these things. Outside web work and design will continue under the tmazon.com name for now. It has been a fun and educational ride. I shall definitely miss it.

My dad

Let me begin by saying that I absolutely love my parents. They are both amazing people, and I am truly blessed to have them in my life. This last week was one of the most difficult weeks for them. I thank God that they are godly people, and they rely on Him to take care of them, because He sure has.

I did it again…

I know, I know, I said I wouldn’t do it. I tried really hard not to. But I just couldn’t help it. Things can get a little busy in my life…and they did again. So what did I do? I haven’t posted in almost 3 months. 3 months of nothing. Did I fall off of the planet? Did I lost internet for 3 months? What…has happened…

What is lacking in our churches?

We think of judgment, death, guilt, shame, etc. But that is quite the opposite of what it really is. Repentance is the door to freedom in Christ. Only the power of Christ can set us free and make us holy and wholly like Him. But we can only gain access to that power through repentance.

Do you Twitter?

Twitter. A global community of friends and strangers answering one simple question: What are you doing? Answer on your phone, IM, or right here on the web!

Heard about this on a podcast…It basically let’s the world know what I am doing. Do I care? Do I want the world to know what I am doing 24/7? Well, not necessarily…but I can see how something like this can be attractive to teens.

Teenagers are always looking for attention, for their voice to be heard, to be noticed. While I myself may not be into Twitter much, I can only imagine the countless number of teens that would take advantage of such a thing. Plus, it’s kind of a great way to get deeper into the minds of teenagers.

I’m gonna give it a spin for a bit, see how I like it.
