Wordle of Luke's Gospel

Check out this link. This site will take any text you give it and will create a collage of words, sized based on the frequency of their occurance. This is the entire Gospel of Luke in the TNIV translation. I think it says a lot!

What is "Under Ethiopia" ?

When I was youth director at St Mary's in Victoria, BC (now "The Open Gate Church"), I started meeting with the youth kids (who are all in college and some married now) after school on Fridays at the local Starbucks. There were so many of us, that we often took up most of the store (at least most of the chairs) and so I would try and get us to sit as far away from the other patrons as possible. Where we always sat was in the corner UNDER the wallpaper advertizing Starbuck's ETHIOPIAN BLEND. So, the group time was called, "Under Ethiopia" and it was really just a time to say anything (a lot like this blog!).

What is "Po" ?

When my wife and I started dating I told her that I had aways been bummed by the fact my name couldn't be shortened -- I had always been envious of Matts and Robs and Dougs. So she shortened my name, though somewhat unconventionally, to Po. And it stuck. So if you are in my wife's company, don't be surprised if she calls me Po. And, for heaven's sake, please don't think she is calling me Poo. With a baby in the house, we have plenty of THAT already, thank-you-very-much!
