A Christmas Message

I can't think of a better way to see and hear a wonderful Christmas message than to go to the movies and watch "The Nativity Story". We were fortunate to receive some passes for a sneak preview and got to see this movie before it is released. It will be coming to theaters in December, you don't want to miss this one!

New Line Cinema's "The Nativity Story" is a dramatic film that traces the perilous journey of a young couple who must travel from their home in Nazareth to Bethlehem in order to register for a census ordered by King Herod. The trip is over 100 miles and Mary is nine months pregnant at the time, making it a perilous journey!

The movie is very well done and really gives you a good look at the hard times Mary and Joseph lived in. You can read the Nativity Story in the gospels of Matthew and Luke but seeing it on the big screen is an event that brings the biblical story to life!

Here is the link to the official website for the movie. You can view a trailer there.

Tips & Tricks

I have just finished my FREE E-Book, " Church Web Site Design", be sure to download your copy today. This book is filled with informative tips & tricks to help you design your site.

Below is a sample from my e-book. This is just one tip that you will find inside this helpful book. Be sure to get your copy today.

Tip #1: Keep It Simple

I always use the KIS method when designing web sites. Keep It Simple! There are many bells and whistles that can be added to a web site but most of them are distracting and some are down right annoying!

Here is an example of annoying. Let’s say you just moved into the area and you are searching the Internet trying to locate a church to attend. You’re sitting at your desk at work and you click on a link to check out a church web site when suddenly music begins blasting from your computer’s speakers! Now I love Christian music, but if your site is set up to automatically play music when someone opens your home page you need to rethink your design. It’s okay to have music on your site, but the visitor should have the option to turn it on if they desire to hear it, don’t make it load as soon as your page opens.

Web sites that use Flash and animated graphics may look cool; but can be very distracting and will actually draw the visitor’s attention away from the main content of your site. Let’s face it; your web site is really there to give information to your visitors. You want them to read the content and find a reason to attend your church or contact your organization. They did not search for your web site to be dazzled by your graphic art skills!
