istockphoto.com is a great resouce for art when you're looking for something just a little different than the everyday free stuff online. Bought this nice piece of art for this weeks message there. Making the most of it and using it on the blog as well.
Upside- plenty of high quality graphics in just about any format. Downside- they're not free, not expensive, but definitely not free.
Hard not to envy the pastor who approaches Christmas, or any message for that matter, with a staff person in charge of setup and design... must be cool. But, if your working environment requires you to learn to do your own design- they're a bunch of really good sites with some excellent art and it's all a whole lot cheaper than even the workman's comp for the extra staff. Struggle is, everyone has to live with less than pro graphics... not to mention the extra time and learning curve.
Text in this mid-Thanksgiving- pre-advent weekend is Isaiah 9:6- "For unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given." Talking about beginning Christmas with a decision. You can listen in to the message at Central Community's Media page.
Looking forward to celebrating Christmas in the days to come- I like the focus on one very special day in our spiritual life -it's a good thing.
Merry Christmas!
Eric
Check out the song of the day on the side bar - a little "belief" music from Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks... and you can never get too much of that!
