Tombstone Generator Site

Here's a site you may want to use to get people to reflect on lives and how they live it. Tombstone Generator allows you to write your epitaph. What would you want people to remember you by? What, on the other hand, would someone else who really knew you write on it?

An iCard Generator

Here's a site you'll like. You can create free e-cards (here called i-cards) and send them to friends or even yourself. I send them to myself all the time to use as visuals in powerpoint/blogs.

Here's one I created to promote the idea of developing the discipline of listening to the Word of God for the ipod/postliterate generation.

Mr. PicassoHead

Bring out the artist in you. Here's a unique site which allows you to create different artistic expressions on a canvas (presumably in the style of Picasso, but in the manner of Mr Potato Head where you stick together the different parts of the body.

My picture here ( created in just 3 minutes) illustrates James 1:19 where we are called to be slow to anger and slow to speak, but quick to listen. After all, didn't God give us one mouth and two ears?
