I was very excited to find my copy of Adobe CS3 when I got home from work on friday. I was not expecting it so soon. It is a major upgrade for me. I only had Photoshop 6 and Illustrator 9 before. (PC Version) I was forced to keep an 8 yr old PC kicking around just to run them. Finally I can get rid of that hunk of junk.
I haven't had much time to play around with it yet, But i did manage to change the default Icon set to a more visually appealing
Replacment Set that Adam Betts has developed.
The new features are amazing, although I haven't had time to try them. But since Ive been using very old versions, I have a lot of catching up to do.

I heard an excellent quote from the movie
Amazing Grace Last week. I don't know the exact wording, but basically, after the two lead characters are sprinting barefoot in a field, they stop, and one of them asks,
"How come you only feel the thorns in your feet when you stop running?" Which leads to the conclusion:
Don't stop running.This went tightly with something I believe God has been speaking to me about walking through personal healing, and overcoming some our our weaknesses and struggles, which is that the healing process begins, when we start doing those things we cannot do. You know, we've all heard that to overcome our fears, we must begin to face them. I think it is the same with any area of life. We learn best by doing, not be reading it in a book, or being taught in a lecture theater. We will find ourselves changed, when we finally start stepping out, and believe that when we do, God will give us the ability to walk on water. By the way, this goes hand in hand with the message Pastor Brendan preached tonight.
Im sure this is very inspirational, and will give us all some courage, for the next day or so. I know what it is like to actually walk this process out, and most of the time it is just that: A Process. We need to constantly be in prayer, asking Jesus to give us the strength and will power to do it every day. Remember that he power works best in our weakness.
Lets at least be aware of this, and begin asking for his help. And when we feel the thorns in our feet, let that be a reminder to start running again.
