I have meant to comment on this (but as you know, I have been occupied ). I wanted to tell you how awesome I think your Archiplego branding was. It could truely have a lasting impact. Cheers!

I have to admit I’m sometimes amazed you are just my little brother. Intriguing and very well-expressed ideas — thanks!

Your very last statement sounded rather contradictory to me, however: “Me filling the measure of my creation isn’t so much having children as it is becoming like my Father in Heaven.” Heavenly Father’s a FATHER, so doesn’t becoming like Him involve having children? Or are you just giving Mom more excuses as to why you don’t have kids yet? (Hee hee)

I like your point, Russ, about the difference between identity and personality. That is DEFINITELY a problem in our society, especially among youth, I think. Maybe you could explain further on that issue. I’d like to hear it.

Reading your posts, is somewhat a time tunnel for me. When you describe your neighborhood, I am twisted back to my days in New York, and I almost instantly crave lox, and real bagels. Small tight communities of folks who don’t know each other well, but have somewhat the same ideals in regards to most things. The smells and noises of New York haunt my mind, and I miss it with an almost physical ache at times.

I am not an artist, but I do appreciate it. I love logos. I love letterhead. I have several favorites, and I hate it when companies re-vamp and try to improve something that is classic. I am jealous of your ability to create such statements.

We have a nature park that is near where I live now. It is a wonder. On my first trip there with my Webelos scout group, I remember the guide trying to explain enviornments that exisit with in enviornments. One comment from a scout was, “I am a really small part of God’s creation” Taken aback by the words of a ten year old, I mulled over them, for quite sometime. On the way home, I tried to express, what you have written so eloquently stated here. That we Are God’s greatest creation, and we can do no greater justice, than to become like him.

Thank you for your post~ and for the ones that have preceeded it.

Nice post! And I like this week’s typeface.

I just now realized what the Nine Moons are. Duh.

Yes, I’m amazed at how much of an impression the color scheme, tones, font, and images of a weblog make on the reader. When I come across a really nice weblog, I’ll click back and forth between theirs and mine, saying, “d*mm*t, why can’t mine look more like theirs?”
