A Very Happy Independence Day to all my friends in Texas.

Time to start getting ready for the 175th anniversary next year!

I just made a new banner for the RunSearch engine (the first with the new logo). Now to see about replacing the older banners with new ones.

Oh yeah, if a board has won the BotM award anytime in the last 3 years then that board is entitled to a banner on RunSearch. PM me for the details...

After working with James Long and Lesigner Girl for about a month we opened up a board for open minds and chat called The Neutral Zone http://www.runboard.com/btimeandagain The idea is to have a place where people could say what is on their minds without worrying about whether or not it ok... We do have some limits but the launch of the board has been a great success so far :)

I guess I am supposed to try and keep this up to date :)

Working a ton on getting back functions that Runboard lost with the virtual server system. The first goal is a working chat which is done except for minor tweaks... hope people like it...

We have had some "growing pains" with the new chat (direct link is: http://www.rbbt.net/x7chat ). I gave Lesigner Girl direct access to the files and we finally managed to get it working right :)

I heard that the police in Alabama caught three college kids that burned down about a dozen churches. When asked why they did it the report said they burned down the first two churches as a joke and then burned down the rest to distract attention from the first two!!!! Maybe I am getting dense but I fail to see the joke here. As you know if you have read any of my previous blogs my own church was also burned down and we have spent the last 4 years attempting to rebuild it. During this time money and resources that could have helped over 500 families in need have been diverted to the rebuilding effort and this is from a church with less than two-dozen in regular attendance. Even when we finally manage to complete the rebuilding effort it will take another 3-5 years to get back to the level we were at prior to the fire. The total loss of almost 10 years in helping others in the name of Jesus doesn't seem to me to be a joke. What about it, can you show me anything like a resonable punch line to this behaviour?
