Hello world!
This is the first post in our newly set-up blog site. I switched to wordpress (PHP / mysql) set up because the entering new stuff is way easier! We will be posting anything from devotionals to Linux how-to's, local business reviews, what's happening in our lives, etc. I suppose it will be sort of a typical personal blog site, but we hope to do good things worthy of the name that we get to bear (ie not to waste our time or your time). One thing is for sure; we are very grateful to the Lord Jesus for His name that we bear!
