xmas letter - jodi

Peace and blessings to our family members and dear friends! We truly serve a loving, holy, and awesome God whose blessings never cease and whose goodness knows no limit!

We hope to communicate some of the ways that He has blessed us in the past year or so.

We moved from Portsmouth, Virginia to Tempe, Arizona in October, 2001. We made this rather dramatic move because Steve accepted a position doing some specialized web development work for U-Haul in central Phoenix. God's grace was abundant from the beginning. Our house in Portsmouth sold fairly quickly. In Arizona, We found a wonderful church within weeks and felt God knitting us into the body of Christ here.

In February, we bought a house in Gilbert, AZ a little further East from Tempe, in a lovely neighborhood with attractive lakes, walking paths,a park,and nice landscaping.

We really like it in Arizona especially the beautiful sunshine and drier weather. But mostly we felt that the Lord had His hand on us and brought us here to work out His purposes in us.

Jodi took a job working for Re-Mac Computers from January through May helping them launch their software training programs at two locations. It was an enjoyable job, but Jodi desired to focus on some other things and resigned in early May. Soon after that Steve lost the job at U-Haul (about mid-June), and our lives have taken some interesting and unexpected turns.

Heh. You'll have to read most of this page to find the reference (or cheat and go here), but I like Mark Byron's writing and his daily Biblical and political commentary. Good food for thought.

Accessorizer -- useful ObjC Dev Tool

[via bbum's rants, code & references] A new version of Accessorizer came out today. It is a very useful little app that, given a variable declaration, generates the various random Obj-C idioms that developers have to create over and over and over again when building Cocoa/ObjC apps. (link)

blogCal marches on

Morbus has updated his entry on iCal, vCalendar, and Moveable Type. If you're an MT hack, he needs a plug-in that strips links in a post and gathers them as footnotes at the bottom of the post.

A veritable cornucopia of blog->iCal information

Morbus has updated his blog entry with information on the linefeed issue, his script, and the fact that Mike at NewsIsFree now has Slashdot posts running into an iCal file.

blog->iCal

Jim had this cool idea to use weblog software to generate an iCal-compatible vCal file for a blog. Then iCal users could subscribe to it. I want to try this out.

I'll grant you that, Don. But at the same time, I don't think that was the point. Larry is a Christian (I'm assuming from reading his reply, and other things he's written), and the questioner was asking how, as a scientist, Larry can believe in God. I thought his reply was well said, and that's what I was pointing out.
