• The Arizona Republic ran a story on how some Christian organizations have pulled their business back from Go Daddy, the domain registrar and host, after the recent super Bowl ads. There is nothing in the story that is surprising but the acidic tone in the comments section seems extreme. Admittedly, the people who post in the comments section are not a true representation of the population but it is still amazing at how some people perceive/spin things. ~ link
• Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary (Newburgh, Indiana), one of the pioneers in theological distance education, has applied for accreditation with DETC (Distance Education and Training Council) (.pdf). DETC is recognized by both the US Department of Education and CHEA -- which will make students eligible for financial aid and will add validity to their degrees. Trinity has had a somewhat tumultuous history in trying to achieve various kinds of accreditation. But this looks like a good and appropriate fit.
• Taking a cue from his predecessors President Obama has created a White House office to help religious organizations compete for federal grants, has installed Joshua DuBois, 26, as its leader, and has established a 25-member interfaith council to advise him. But it is looking like there will be more strings attached to the money than in the Bush administration. ~ link
• I'm sure that there are people thinking otherwise but I had absolutely nothing to do with picking the colors for the PIBC center in Yap. The locals are just naturally creative and artistic (or maybe Shrek green was the only color paint available on island). ~ link
• Dan Whitmarsh, sharing what he has discovered at the Covenant Midwinter Conference, notes that there there is now a Covenant church in Boise, Idaho. ~ Dan's post | Common Ground Covenant Church
• Cheryl and I were fortunate enough to join the visiting international pastors for lunch at Sam Choy's (great food at a good price) and then the tour of Underwater World. Tammy Anderson, a friend from LCG, is a terrific underwater guide! Standing in the tunnel as the sharks, turtles, and rays go overhead, literally inches away, is awe-inspiring. So many incredible creatures!
• I sealed the grout tonight. The tile job is finished!

All my domain names are registered at GoDaddy, including cornerstonecov.org. You just can't beat the price for the service. Some registrars, such as Network Solutions like to tell you that you get so much more for paying $25/year compared to GoDaddy's $10 which is an outright lie. GoDaddy's customer service has always been top-notch in my experience, plus, I've NEVER paid full price for a domain or renewal. There's always some code to enter that they either give you via email or from retailmenot.com.
Congrats on the tile!
