Well I have been wanting to blog about this for awhile now but I was held to secrecy, but for good reason. We wanted the artwork to be a surprise to a lot of people. This was my very first CD layout and I hope not my last. I liked how it turned out. We wanted to capture the scope of the event in our auditorium and Annie Tao did a great job of capturing some great pictures of the night. I believe they communicate the message of a live cd and that it was about worship and not a cool band (which they were). Here is the front and back (the outside of the digi pack)(click to enlarge):

I have decided to at least try to post once a week and as an attempt to do so I decide to do a small short weekly ramble about random things. Since it is christmas week this week I wanna ramble about the saying “It’s the thought that counts”.
I usually laugh when I hear people say that. I mean have you really thought about those actual words? It is a very passive aggressive way of saying “awe you tried but no, I don’t like it. Thanks anyways.” I personally would never want to hear someone say those words to me after I gave them a gift. Just lie, and when I leave throw the gift away. Better yet use the “It’s the thought the counts” gifts, keep them in a box regift or use as a white elephant gift or something.
Wait for it…

This past weekend we continued our Renew holiday season by focusing on our spending. It was an amazing weekend with a powerful message. A message that I believe struck a cord with our church body.
We started by promoting Advent Conspiracy, an organization asking people to rethink how much money we send on gifts and asks us to spend more time with each other. Their promo video does a way better job explaining it than I do. Check it out:
