Simplifying Life

I am what Hauge [a professor at APU] would call A Lifer, someone who has been raised in the church. Consequently, I have built up this mass of Theology, which I try to live out every day. It is mentally draining. I have begun to think to much. Now, don't think I am saying that theology is bad, it is necessary. I had forgotten why I was doing the things I was doing. I was caught up in the rules and routines of life and had forgotten why I was living. Simplifying... That seems to be the only solution. I am trying to get back to the roots of what it means to be a Christ follower.

My faith is not the only thing undergoing a refining and pruning. I have been trying to simplify my art. I just can't get enough of minimalism and simplicity in design. Here are just a few pieces I have found. They are so simple yet the simplicity of the design does not detract from the power of the message.

I challenge all of you to think about why you do what you do... and Simplify.

Obama is Everywhere...

Okay... So, Obama has been our president for a while. I might just be a little late (like a year), but I wanted to share this with you. Whether you voted for him or not... you have got to admit this is pretty hilarious/awesome.

You can "Obamify" yourself. What!?

That's right.

"If you liked the red-white-and-blue look of the Barack Obama “Hope” poster designed by street artist gone viral Shepard Fairey, Dubi Kaufmann has made a plug-in for Photo Booth that allows you to “Obamafy” your photos.

With over 4,450 downloads and counting, just about any photo you pop into it will take on iconic status. Still, Obamafying yourself won’t get you elected. As Kaufmann says, the free app is 'an exercise in pop culture and is not part of any campaign nor it is an endorsement for either candidate.' "

just look here and check it out...
