I just discovered a cool plugin for WordPress that the Desiring God blog is using. It is RefTagger by Logos.

13 days to go

I am going to lay my cards on the table up front. I love my iPhone. Like many other happy iPhone owners, my iPhone continues to surprise me on a regular basis at how well it meets so many of my needs (and even some wants). I am a Mac user so almost every other smartphone or pda that I have ever owned has needed some third party help to lasso my calendar, address book, and other personal information together across all my digital platforms.
These are a few of my favorite things…
Sitting here contemplating the things that I enjoy in my life, I can’t help but think how much the simple things of life bring the most pleasure. Sure I enjoy all the nice gadgets that technology brings but spending an October Saturday outside soaking up the crisp Autumn air while getting the yard ready for an impending winter brings reflection and a sense of throttling down that I don’t normally experience in my hectic day-to-day living.New Blogger Appearing Soon!
