I recently finished overhauling our church website.  I decided to drop the freebie deal that our denomination provides (which is a good deal, by the way), and post a leaner, simpler, easier to navigate site.  It funnels all prayer requests to our staff, automatically updates its church calendar from my computer (yea Mac!), and honestly looks friendlier than the format we had before (no offense, web developers in Springfield).

I am loving simplicity lately.  I am finding that the more we simplify, the easier it is to focus on and accomplish what’s important.

I was listening to Dino Rizzo’s podcast yesterday, and he was talking about this very thing.  He said that he loves drive throughs and pay-at-the-pump, and he never longs for chaos in his life.

Dino, my brother, I offer you a heart-felt “amen.”

What I find, though, is that everything tends toward chaos.  We must be intentional and strategic in our efforts to make things simple.

What are some areas of your life that you can simplify?

(By the way…  if you’re wondering, I used iWeb to create our new church site.  Talk about simple.  That’s why I love Mac!)
