Having learned a little Node.js in the last year, I recently tried my hand at the Gulp build tool. If you know some JS and want a flexible build tool, this is a great option for both front end and back end projects (or, in my case, both at the same time).

First of all, I would like to say a THANK YOU to all the people in the service of our country who have worked hard to protect us. My thoughts and prayers have been with you this day.

This March I purchased a MacBook Pro 13” and replaced my 1st Generation Moto X with a shiny iPhone 6. Within 2 months I put my iPhone 6 on eBay and bought a 2nd Generation Moto X. Why? Mainly because I prefer the Android operating system and the Moto X’s low-power notification screen display.

We always hear the phrase “falling in love” and “falling out of love”. It is very common even within Christian circles for people to assume that love is an emotion: something that happens (like a lightning bolt or a chemistry experiment). It is perfectly reasonable to reconsider a dating relationship if it is certain one will not be happy if the relationship grows into the lifetime relationship of marriage. However, many marriages miserably fail because of the assumption that if the associated emotions are missing, then love must be absent, and therefore the lifetime commitment made at the wedding should be reconsidered.
