So what’s been going on since then? The biggest news is that we found out, we’re expecting again! We’re 22 weeks now, due the first week of January, but how our pregnancies go, I’m sure the baby will be here by Christmas at the latest. “The baby.” It’s a boy, which we just found out last week, so I really need to get used to referring to him as a he.

Other than that, everything else pales by comparison. Just trying to figure out as always what the Lord wants for us, and doing what we can to glorify Him and repent when we fall short.

Until next time…

(That’s the sound of me blowing the dust off of the blog… I’ll be back soon.)

And, be sure to add Kubecki.com to your Blog Network as well.

• No more Google Reader links or Del.icio.us links – I got bored with having these in the sidebar.
• I fixed the search results page on the new theme, so when you search, you no longer just see title, you actually see the text that your search hit on. Here’s an example.
• I updated some of the software that runs the site (WordPress plugins for you techie types) so that it runs faster. (Again, for techie types – changed some of the plugins that built dynamic scripts, CSS, etc. based on configured options, to static pages. I don’t change the configuration enough to pay the performance hit.)
• I now have a “Now Reading” section in the sidebar, if you’re curious what I’m reading. Most of the time it is guaranteed to be out of date…

Have a great weekend…

In the meantime, some site news:

• New look. What do you think?
• The site is now iPhone and mobile friendly. Thanks to Jerry for testing the iPhone version. (You don’t need a special link, just visit www.kubecki.com from your mobile browser.)
• I’ve added, per request, email subscriptions. See the sidebar on the right.
• I’ll be updating the blogroll soon.
• I’ve got a cool search engine in the works for searching many of the sites in the blogroll, as well as other sites I’ve found useful. More news to come on that one.

Several folks have asked how Shannon is doing with the pregnancy. She is doing very well, and we appreciate everyone’s prayers. She has some back pain, so pray specifically for comfort, as well as continued good health for both her and the baby. We’re now into the 2nd trimester, so praise God for his blessings!

Thanks to Doulos.

I do have a few things in the works, though:

• I’m about to finish up a book study with a friend – Disciplines of a Godly Man, by R. Kent Hughes. As soon as I’m done with that, I’ll be posting a review.
• As I said, small groups have started up again for our church. This year, the small group I’m in is studying Hebrews, and this year, I have the honor of taking the lead in the teaching. I plan to blog through much if not all of this book, but I’d better get started soon before I get too far behind the schedule…
• Right now, I’m in the middle of about 5 books, a bad habit of mine. I’m hoping to finish up some of those and get reviews posted soon.

I also, of course, want to post more on things I see in the news. And sometimes, just to post on silly stuff, like the fact that I finally got around to making one of these.

According to the site that does the ratings:

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:
death (6x) hell (1x)

By including that information above, the counts for “death” and “hell” jump to 7x and 2x respectively. Actually, 8x and 3x because of that sentence. Anyway, I wonder if that bumps me up to PG-13?
