For a magazine project I am working on now, I had to update a photograph of our board members, to reflect changes that have occurred since the original photograph was taken.
The original photo was shot in 2007, I believe. Even then, not all of the then-current board members were available at the time of the photo shoot. I arranged for one of my coworkers, Kenton Rogers, to take one photo without the missing members, who were added later when they were able to come and sit for a photo.
Heretofore I had been the only person in my family who had not been to the Caribbean. I admit, I’m more of a mountains person than a beaches person. When I think of “paradise” or “God’s country,” I’m more likely to envision a rustic cabin overlooking streams, evergreen forests, and rocky peaks than a sandy shoreline with waving palms. Still, in the midst of an icy, sleeting southern Illinois winter, it is not hard to dream of tropical getaways. This winter my family decided to take a cruise.
Going on the cruise meant skipping GYC, the first one I’d ever missed. I felt a bit sad about that, but then there’s always 3ABN and AudioVerse, where the GYC highlights are captured in all their multimedia glory. The one part I really missed was seeing my friends — but I got to visit other friends, so am consoled.
I just finished the first phase of a facelift of The Great Controversy Readathon website. Please check it out!
Back in July of this year, I was walking with some friends on a trail at Rend Lake. At a wide spot in the trail we stopped to look around, and I noticed this unusual flower:
On January 1, 2009, 3ABN is launching a new 24-hour channel for children called the SonBeam Channel. Initially it will be available only to those with the MOIPTV and MOPCWeb systems. One of the tasks assigned to my department was creating a logo for this channel.
Goals of the design included making it unique, appealing to kids, cheery, bright, fun, and easy to animate. We also strove for simplicity and contemporary colors and shapes.
