Several programs, mostly messengers and chats, I think, have a feature that allows you to keep them on top of your screen. No matter what you pull up or load, you can always keep the program in front of the others. You will always see it. No other program you have running will be allowed to cover it over.

When you choose this feature, it means this program is the most important of all at that moment.

Seems to hold a nice spiritual analogy.

Whatever you may be doing at the moment, whatever "programs" you may be running in your life, no matter how many jobs you have piled up, keep the Lord Jesus on top. He can stay always in front of everything else. You will always see him, even when something else is loading in the background. No other item you have running will be allowed to cover Him over.

I take it that's what Jesus meant in Matthew 6.33 about seeking first the Kingdom of God. Get it out in front. Don't let any other pursuit obscure its place in your life.

But you must "click" on Jesus. You must, to put it more appropriately, decide that he will be your priority. Every moment. Regardless of the activity.

If you need to consult the help section on how to do this, let me know. I can give you some pointers.

We're still getting adjusted to the place here, a few more pieces of furniture to mount, rugs to lay, that sort of thing. But I thought to put you up to date on what's happening.

Greg says he'll be able to write more now the GA List is gone. Jimmy needs about six weeks as he is moving from one non-virtual house to another.

Jeff Jenkins, who has written several articles for Forthright, will become a regular. This week another Good Soul or two should also answer our invitations in the affirmative as well.

Barry is still pounding out those great articles he always does. And Phil ... Anybody heard from Phil? Maybe it's the time of the year for Phil to travel abroad on one of his teaching trips. So we'll not mark him off. Yet.

And I'll try to pitch in with a morsel now and again.

So there you have it. Good people writing good thoughts for good hearts. Stick around, bookmark us, sign up to the e-mail list to keep abreast of new articles and features.

We want to go straight to the Cross. Every time. We hope you'll go with us.
