PC v. Mac

I have to admit something. . .lately I've been considering getting a Mac. I know, I know, some of you are saying, "What are you thinking?" Other are proclaiming, "Come. . .Come to the light!" Didn't think much about it, but a couple of our pastors are Mac freaks - most Mac users are. I have experience in both. When I was in the corporate world my first taste of word processing was on a Mac Plus (see pic to the right). It's where I learned Microsoft Word and Excel.

Later on, I moved to PCs and haven't turned back, especially since it cost less to buy a new Mac than to have it repaired. And I could fix and upgrade PCs.

But now, Mac's operating system is Unix based so it appears to be more stable. And I like it's ease of use. I don't like that they don't have a backspace key and there's not as many software packages created for the Mac as there is for the PC - Like Microsoft's Frontpage for editing web pages. I know there's other software, but Frontpage is nice and pretty easy to use. I also don't like the fact that they cost so much more than PCs.

Ran across this comparison one day and it got me to thinking about it more. Sooo. . .do I go Mac or stay PC?

Let me know what you think - in the words of The Clash, "Should I stay or should I go?"

Camp is Good!

I'm home from a week at a student camp - Camp Chaparral . I was there teaching students how God created them for a place of ministry and encouraging them to involved - somehow. . .somewhere. I was also the guest of Pam & Steve Sparks. They are wonderful friends from my Lufkin days. Steve is the Assistant Director of the camp. Better give a shout out to the staff - Hey Mike, David, Heather, Doug, Tim, Nate, Govani (spelling?) - thanks for a great week. These guys work really, really hard to make your camp stay the greatest. And it was. But I'm exhausted! I'm beginning to wonder if I'm getting too old for this kind of thing? The worship was great - thanks to the brown band ! Hey Michell, Gabi, Rooster, Noah, and #14. They'll get it. Jon Randles really challenged us with his messages - 7 Marks of a Disciple . Need a speaker that speaks truth with wisdom? Get Randles. College or students. He's good. But the late nights and early mornings - WHEW!!

Question for You

I was listening to one of the local radio stations - kwyq, The Way FM, this morning on the way to the office. They were asking the question, "If you could live in a totally Christian community would you?" Responses varied. I would be interested in knowing what you think. So. . .I pose the question to you. . . If you could live in a totally Christian community would you? Why or why not? I can't wait to read your responses. Mike

Favorite Cereals

As I was scarfing down a bowl of Total I was thinking about my favorite cereals. Cereal has always been a part of our family - it didn't matter whether it was grabbing a bowl before school and sitting with my Grandpa as he at a bowl of Raisin Bran after church on Sunday nights. Growing up I had my faves. I would still eat them, but me and a lot of sugar in the morning is no bueno. As many of you can attest, it's not like I need more sugar! So I also have favorites now. Here's my list of favorite cereals: Then Cap'n Crunch - the original and all-time favorite, and breakfast with the Cap'n - how do you beat that? Frosted Flakes - don't get soggy in milk Peanut Butter Crunch - Cap'n Crunch and peanut butter, what's not to like? Wheat Chex - add a banana, mmmm. . .mmmmm. . .good! Now Total - good for you and doesn't get soggy too quickly Kellogg's Low Fat Granola without Raisins - good all around cereal Wheat Chex - still like me a bowl o
