Mac Shack II

...and round one, per my clients' (dad and Thompson) copy edit comments and worry that it looked metrosexual and read "Iran Men" (you can guess which one made that comment). I tweaked the o's previous to my earlier post.

Mac Shack sign

Sign I am doing to over the Mac Shack at mom and dad's house out by their pond. My dad's small Bible study group of fathers and sons meets out there once a week. Now the boys are all growed up! Most of them are finishing up their freshman year of college, including my little brother. I designed an Iron Men logo for them last summer. The Mac Shack is named after my grandfather, Lloyd F. "Mac" McMurtrie.

The Good Book Goes Green

This morning I was reading in Time mag about a new Bible being released by HarperCollins. It "calls attention to more than 1,000 verses related to nature by printing them in a pleasant shade of forest green, much as red-letter editions of the Bible encrimson the words of Jesus." I'm not quite sure what I think about this. Of course the primary message of the Bible is not about how to treat creation, but rather about the saving gospel of Christ, and I do not agree with eco-evangelist Matthew Sleeth's statement "that 'creation care'--the Christian catchphrase for nature conservancy--'is at the very core of our Christian walk.'" But is is interesting to note all the references to nature and gardening in the Bible. Find the full story here.
