9 Marks Interviews I just finished listening to this excellent discussion on the history and discipline of the local church, via 9 Marks. Stacy and James, if you are reading, I my site meter tells me you do indeed read, you need to listen to this interview. It really goes well with a number of issues we have been discussing and implementing as a church.

A Frivolous Friday Has Returned: The Capranica Villa Almost Finished

None of the exterior landscaping has been done. We’ll wait ’till it gets over 100 degrees around here before we begin that part. Right now it is WAY too comfortable. So here are a few pics of the house thus far: The Front of the Villa The Front Door and Dining Room French Doors of the Villa. The Villa’s Entry The Villa Living Room Mrs. C’s study. The Villa Bedchamber. Mr. C’s study. I’m sure most everyone who reads this blog (all two of you), do not care about the progress fo the Villa, but, the two times a year my family reads this blog, the’ll want to see it. I can’t show you some of the other rooms, because they are not even close to being finished and I’m afraid that there would be murder in the Villa if I posted them. So, until next...
