It’s December, the start of the winter quarter. Time for me to update the theme on this blog.
As is usual, it’s not much of a new theme – all I did was replace the images.
This theme is a tribute to the NHL, which stands for either No Hockey League or National Hockey Lock-out
Anyway, here’s a slightly new look. Expect some tweaks in the days to come.
From the breath of God ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.

And if you don’t get it, here’s a link: Carcassonne by Rio Grande Games.
He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and there was no one at war with him during those years, because the Lord had given him rest.

It’s June, the start of the summer quarter. Time for me to update the theme on this blog.

When day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could.

or, How to Double Your Website Traffic in 3 Easy Steps
This post will tell you how to write a guest post for Stuff Christians Like. Jon Acuff has already listed some hints on what to write in a guest post, but this post is going to tell you some additional details on how to do that.
Step 1. Come up with a good idea.
Step 2. Write a 500-word humorous essay on that idea.
Step 3. Email it to Jon (his email is listed in the link above).
It really is that easy, but there are some other details that might help – things I’ve picked up over the years.
These tips are not guaranteed to get your guest post published on SCL, but they might help.
For example, Jon and I both wrote about meal-time prayers. But he wrote about which meals deserve prayers and I wrote about the reason for a prayer.
Same topic + different take on things = different posts.
Yes, Jon will clean the post up a bit, but if he is choosing between your guest post and someone else’s similar guest post, my guess is that he will pick the one that requires less work on his part.
This might not work for all people, but I write my SCL guest posts differently than I write my own posts. Posts for my blog are drier, so I try to be more entertaining in a guest post. Something along the lines of “what would Jon write?”
But guest post are for variety, so don’t try to mimic him. Which leads to the next point…
Jon is known to tweak or add things to guest posts, so if he thinks a current topic deserves a cameo in your guest post, he will make it so.
He usually sends a “Thanks for your guest post” reply first, to let you know that he got it. Then, once he knows that he will actually use it, he sends a “I loved it! It will go on SCL in a few weeks” reply.
If all you ever get is the first email, then your guest post is languishing in purgatory.
Because that is why you’re writing, right? No? You just want to help others? That’s not a very sustainable business plan. (of course I’m joking here. I don’t have a business plan either)
I did this the first time, but I don’t bother with this anymore. Maybe if I had a product to sell or a goal in mind, I would do this more.
That’s all I have to share with you today. Help out Jon and write a guest post for him.
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

Now that it is June and the kids want to wear shorts even if it is only 50 degrees outside, it is time to update Some Blog Site’s background photo.
This is of the oldest child, carrying a bucket of water from the ocean at Myrtle Beach last year.
You rule the swelling of the sea;When its waves rise, You still them.
