Bible Stuff

I'm kind of tired of hyping scrapbook stuff...let's talk about the Bible...

I am reading 2 Chronicles about all the kings after David. Basically most of them were lame, although some had their moments. After Solomon there was Jerboam and Rehoboam. Now Jerboam controlled the Northern kingdom but there was one problem. Everybody was supposed to go down South to worship in Jerusalem at the temple. He was so threatened by this that he made a golden calf and told people to hang out at home and just worship that. How lame can you get. My pastor says this is akin to just doing what's spiritually convenient instead of making the extra effort to 'go to Jerusalem' to get the real thing.

Then you have Rehoboam. Now he was right after Solomon and the people asked him basically if he would be a decent guy. His older advisors, said, treat your people right and they'll serve you. But all his friends said the people were a bunch of whiners and he should come down hard on them. He unwisely chose to listen to his buddies and ran his mouth and a lot of the people rejected him.

Both of these fools should have listened to God and done what was right but they had to have it their way and it cost them big time. Now how many of us, including me, have to do it our way and fall on our face. I will be the first to raise my hand.

Layered Templates

I found some good tuts on layered sketch templates (these are also popping up for elements too).
