I FINALLY finished the GBM website. Although as time goes by, little tweaks here and there find their way to my desk. This site has kind of a web 2.0 feel with the solid colors, transparent windows, and striped bottom. I’m still using flash, as I am continuing to learn CSS, HTML, Java, and other such things. Eventually, I would love to move away from a flash site altogether. But right now, that is what I know.

Check out the GBM Website

To put it simply…I have become busy yet again. April saw a lot of time working on a new site for Pastor Connie, and beginning development on Pastor Berteau’s new website. Both of those have become major projects in themselves.

Gladly, I have finished Knowing the Word’s website AND store. I am very happy with the way they turned out. I admit, I didn’t design them from the ground up. Instead I used WordPress for the main site, since the focus is a radio program with regular updates and with added plugins, I also gave it audio playback and podcasting support. The store was created using the open source shopping cart, oscommerce because of it’s ease of setup and use.

I have been helping Matt get ready for the missions trip to Nicaragua, which they are currently on as I write this. That was definitely a blast, even though I didn’t go this year on the trip. This is the first time I haven’t gone on a missions trip when I was around at the inception of it’s planning. I wish I could have gone, but alas I could not.

The reason is that for almost a year now, I have been looking for a full time youth pastoring job. I had a few openings that I interviewed with. Some in person, some over the phone. But so far, nothing has come about, other than waiting. It’s one of the hardest things having to wait for someone else to get the ball rolling once you go through an interview. But God knows what He is doing and will put me in the right place at the right time. Of that I have no doubts.

In a nutshell, there is the last 3 months. At least the important stuff.
