As of a few hours ago, PreacherMike is fully live, serving you posts and comments from its brand new servers at a new hosting company.
Sadly, due to an upgrade in the software we’re using here, the old “template” is no longer compatible, so we’re going with a different look. There are a great many advantages to this new layout, which I’m sure you’ll discover as you play around. The key features are the LiveSearch option (just type and wait and see the results appear like magic!) and the LiveCommenting. Also, there’s a new little section which shows you the most recent comments on various posts.
One feature you’ll probably want to take advantage of is the new ‘Subscribe to Comments’ option. At the bottom of the commenting window you’ll find a place to check a box if you wish to be updated on future comments. This way, you enter your email address, and if you want to follow a particularly interesting post or discussion, you’ll be automatically notified of updates.
As with any transition, there are likely to be some potholes or speedbumps, so feel free to leave a comment with any “issues” in the comments section of this post.
Peace,

I could tell something was different the second the blog appeared. Looks good!
It looks sorta like someone else’s blog I saw recently…
=)
Glad to see the blog back up and running, Mike. Been trying to get in touch with you this week. Hope things are going well for you.

Reminds me of a line from the movie The Fifth Element -
“Reconstruction, Complete”
works pretty well, I think -
“Maintenance, Complete”
Okay … maintenance complete … now give us the good stuff
I like it, but keep thinking that picture is backwards! It may take awhile, but surely I can adjust to the change.
Good job, GKB!
Steve,
That was SO six months ago!
Welcome to the new world! Or is it the brave new world?
Peace.
All is right in the world! Thanks Mike and GKB.
I don’t know why you changed whatever you did with your blog, Mike, but it’s looking good.
Just one comment. I was reading your profile and of all of the things you mention there, you failed to mention writing anything about Reese. Surely you’ll be writing something about her in your profile. Although babies DO change a lot very rapidly so it would be hard to keep up with her as she changes and grows.

Hey Mike:
I like your new look. This is my first time to leave a comment but I am a fairly regular reader. I do enjoy your blog, your thinking, your faith, and your courage.
I hope we get to take a class together again soon. I am about to finish my M.Div. Equivalency and start the D. Min. on June 8. Looking forward to several more years of hanging around with you guys in the summer and the New Year. It blesses my life and minstry.
Peace,

Mike!
When are you gonna post about the playoffs? C’mon, give a shout out to the Spurs on your blog man!

p.s. We should get lunch sometime.
Unique optical perspectives when viewing your banner.
When the pic was reversed with the cross to the left of the group, it looked as though the group was going up the hill toward the cross in worship. In this new perspective it gives me the impression the cross is leading the group rather than being stationary and visited. Both perspectives’ messages are powerful, at least imho.
Am I the only one with nutty vision here? It wouldn’t be the first time I’m out there alone. LOL
