Today we celebrate Fourth Week of Lent

"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:16-18

Reading Red Letters 2.0

Monday, June 8th 2009

As you can see, the talented Leanne Wildermuth has completed the new look for Reading Red Letters – and man, did she do a fantastic job or what?!

The thought for this new design came from the practice that churches have of changing their altar hangings, robes, etc. with the changing church seasons.  I thought “wouldn’t it be really cool if my blog could do that?”  Then I found this neat plugin by Scott Lenger called Liturgical Year Themes.  I knew that I wanted Leanne to do the re-design (both because she does beautiful work and because she did my original design), and she was adventurous enough to give it a try using this plugin.  I think it turned out pretty snazzy!

I’m totally going to steal the screenshot Leanne has up on her blog so that you can see a little preview of what is to come throughout the year:

Thank you so much Leanne for all your hard work and for allowing me to change my mind several times!  I am thrilled with the way that things turned out, and I can’t wait to change seasons!!

This post is being re-posted on 7/7/09 – I had a backup malfunction and lost 3 months of posts, and so I am re-posting them through my findings with Google Cache. I did NOT delete the comments, I just have no way of restoring them. I am sorry if you commented and it is lost!
