Accumulation of Snow

Snow this morning on the GBS Campus!

Free Antivirus & Firewall Software

Do you have up-to-date antivirus software installed on your computer? Are you SURE?

Most new computers come with only a limited subscription (several months) to virus definition updates from McAfee or Norton. Once this expires, unless you pay to renew the subscription, your system is no longer protected against new virus attacks. If you are looking for a free (quality) alternative, try AVG available on download.com:
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition (external link to download.com)

Also, for good free firewall software, try:
ZoneAlarm (external link to download.com)

God's Way or My Way

The topic of rebellion in a recent class reminded me of a powerful presentation by Frank Peretti I heard this past summer, entitled "God's Way or My Way". My Mom purchased the CD recording of the program from Focus on the Family, which is available here (external link to family.org). I also found a streaming version of the two-part program online, but am waiting to hear back from FOTF concerning possible copyright issues before posting the link.

In my opinion, this presentation is well worth the listen! If you do listen to it at some point, I welcome your thoughts/comments in reply to this post.

It Snowed Today!

Just a quick post to say today it snowed here at GBS for the first time this fall (that I've noticed)! No photo though, sorry...

Word Processing Shortcut

When typing a document in Microsoft Word have you ever needed to change:

this is sample text typed in the wrong case

to

THIS IS SAMPLE TEXT TYPED IN THE WRONG CASE

or

This Is Sample Text Typed In The Wrong Case

??

Sure, you can just retype it...but it's usually much faster to simply highlight the text and then hit the "Shift" + "F3" keys at the same time. Each time you press this combination, Word will cycle the text to a different one of the three font case combinations shown above.

A Couple of Quotes

.
Here are two quotes from Dan Glick, professor & chair of the Missions Department here at GBS:

.

"If we think there is any good outside of God's will, we are vulnerable to missing His will."

"I don't want to go through this thing called life, without the Creator of life along with me."

...and yes, the photo above has been tinted!

Thanksgiving in Amish Country

Starting last Wednesday evening I had the privilege of spending a few days over the US Thanksgiving holiday with the Glicks in northern Ohio's Amish Country. We shared great food, conversation...and boxes, since I was also helping them move down to northern Kentucky.

On the way there (and back) we stopped at Tim Hortons (external link to timhortons.com). A taste from home, eh?

I had a great few days...and Monday is also a holiday at the college!

US Thanksgiving Greetings

Last week simply seemed to sizzle by; and it's hard to believe there are only a couple of weeks of this semester remaining!

I'm planning to leave for northern Ohio with the Glicks this afternoon for Thanksgiving Break. So, to my US friends:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy (Early) Birthday Elizabeth!

Last evening an early birthday party was organized for Elizabeth. More photos from our fun evening.
