I like the passport stamp background and the Indiana Jones lookalike on the header. Original theme by RedFly. Since WPThemeGallery offers the theme for download from their site (among many others), I am not sure if this is a copyright violation or the author allows the distribution.

Deacon Jim Konicki from Deacon’s Blog Discernment in the Blogdom of God* Or, can blogging make me a saint? By Rev. Deacon Jim Konicki The world of faith blogs is fascinating in its depth; and in what it, as a tool, can allow you to accomplish. Faith blogging has unlocked the world of faith to seekers and researchers in levels unprecedented since the great efforts at Christian evangelization that occurred between the 15th and 18th century. There are several aspects to this depth. The Personal and Public Nature of Faith Blogging As […]
