WORLDS ARE FORMING

A Celebration of Fear & Trembling.

Happy 1st Blog Anniversary to Kellen at Fear & Trembling.  He has asked several friends to reflect on "A Life of Fear and Trembling in The Light of New Life."  My entry is here.  I love Kellen's intensity, thoughtfulness, and wit.  Keep up the good work, brother.  Check him out.

New Look.

It was time for a new look. Thanks to Adam for some technical help. 

Fuji FinePix S5100: So bloggable.

Many people have been asking who she is that has been taking the pictures on my site...

Fuji FinePix S5100.

4.0 megapixels.

Got her on Amazon for a great rate.

I love her and commend her relatives to you all.   Andrew Zirschky (formerly at nakedchurch.blogs.com) introduced us.   

He said: "Hands down, you won't get a better camera for a better price."

It's great for an amateur like me.

Since when...?

So. 

Today I was out running errands, preparing for the journey-to-come.  Bought rechargeable batteries and a charger for them. 

Radio-Shack-Salesman-Nathan says to Customer Josh:

"This guy charges four batteries in 15 minutes! 
You can charge these puppies over 1000 times!
THIS IS THE BEST ONE OUT THERE...you've gotta have it."

OK, Nathan.  Thanks.  So, what did I do?  I bought it.

As I drove away from my new best friend Nathan and Radio Shack, I got to thinking about the last thing he said, rolled my eyes, and sighed.

Since when do we need "the best?" 

Of course, our (my) ears perk up and we (I) shell out the money for "the best" stuff.  But, why?  Do we really need "the best?"

Tell me, friends, what do you think?  This is just a small example, of course, but I think this is important nonetheless. 

When in life do we need "the best," and when can we settle for "the mediocre?"

Let's talk about this.
