With great joy, I would like to announce the complete new redesign of the labri.org website.

After going through 4 different models, and many pieces of paper, I created one that I think will help L'Abri Fellowship's online presence through functionality, usability, design and ease of use.
I have had to recreate every single page from code to graphic and have made a model that will be easily updated and easily refreshed. It's about 100 pages and it was a fair amount of work. But now using CSS and some other technologies, I'll be able to update to update the site with much more ease.

Please have a look and enjoy the new site!!

"Thinking about the mundane; the hum-drum of daily living. Life is not less than this, but always more. Seems to me though that most of the time our lives are made up of the not less, and not the more. There should be both a level of acceptance and dissatisfaction with this. Accepting that this is daily life and dissatisfied that we don't yet see God face to face. All the while hoping that God injects the more in what we do. We shouldn't be consumed with the not less as the injections of the more also need to be in evidence. If not, I start scouting around for ways to escape where God has called me to live. "

living with fresh air, originally uploaded by mdshivers.

This chalet just signifies a lot to me. First it was my brother's home for a long time and second I spent lots of holidays here. third waking up and seeing this view in the morning will just really make you humble. and for me really demonstrate that there is a God and that he is creative and that he finds natural beauty a good thing.

In loving memory, originally uploaded by mdshivers.

Pat and Max are friends of mine that I met in Swizterland when I lived there. During breaks from school and work- I would stay with them. This was a wonderful time for me and really enjoyed their home away from home. Pat had such a spunk about her- just amazing.

They were a team- two peas in a pod. They have a loving family and really Bible believing people. They showed me so much about daily life, marriage, and good values.

Pat was diagnosed with Cancer December '05. She was fighting very hard and was coming out ahead. Unfortuntely though, she lost the battle.
She past away last weekend and her memorial was yesterday in Konoflingen, Switzerland.

What a sad time it is.
