It’s finals week at City University, and like any good student I’m super stressed and working my tail off, getting all my papers done and being prepared for my final tests. The cool thing about the end of this quarter as opposed to the others I have gone through survived, is that I’ve gotten my teachers’ permission to write about something a bit more interesting than whether or not Biblesoft should adopt a data warehouse. Nope, this quarter, my final papers have been about my church, Neighborhood Life Center – and how I can improve (read: rebuild) its website. When I’m done with my last paper I’ll post all of them here for you to read.

In the course of my research for these papers, I’ve stumbled upon some great sites/podcasts. I’ll compile a full list later, but for now, here’s a post I found particularly good:

Stock Options in The Kingdom of Heaven

This is an interesting article (especially for me, a computer scientist) about a man who made it big at Microsoft, then gave it all up to start a church… It’s all about that Heavenly Perspective. We get so caught up with living life day-to-day, that we can forget the real reason we’re here – to make a difference for eternity!

I found out about Mark Batterson (and his blog) after listening to Episode Two of the Creative Synergy Podcast. The interview (and the whole podcast) was very interesting – I’d encourage you to check it out (in fact listen to all three of the Creative Synergy Podcasts if you have the time).

Ok, back to work (and then my homework!).
