You might have noticed my site went down the week before last.
I was hacked by an overseas network trying to use my site for phishing. Fortunately, the security measures at Bluehost spotted the ruse and shut things down before my site could be used.
That said, I spent a couple days on the phone with a website security firm out of Chicago, cleaning the site, and setting up ongoing, instant monitoring to prevent it from happening again. Whew! I was finally back up and running, until…
Last week, a Windows update crashed my PC (I know, Mac fans, I just haven’t taken the leap, yet…). Fortunately, all my files were safe, but all my programs had to be reinstalled–in the scattered “down moments” between life and life happening.

Two Lies We Believe About Success. Jeff Goins shares some great thoughts about two lies you’ve probably been listening to your entire life. You might be surprised by what they are.
The Least of These. This is a short video (12:51 min) of a devotion given by my academic advisor at Knox Seminary, Steve Jeck. I love the simplicity of the message; and I loved the simplicity of his delivery. Check it out.
Jesus is the Hero. If you miss this truth, you’ve missed the point of the Bible. Dr. David Prince offers excellent insight into how we should be reading the Bible.

Be blessed and have a great rest of your weekend.
Glad you are up and running.
