Do You Know About PicMonkey?

Do you know about PicMonkey.com?

It’s a great, (and I think) relatively new, online photo editing site.

AND IT’S FREE!

I don’t know about you — but as a ministry leader, I regularly find myself in situations where I’m wanting to add text to an image, create poster (that doesn’t look like it was created by a 3rd grader), manipulate photos to enhance a webpage, etc. — but have lacked the expensive software and/or know how.

Well, thanks to PicMonkey.com, that’s all changed!

People from all walks of life with all different kinds of aspirations are increasingly entering into seminary as an opportunity to work out their “callings.” What about you? Could seminary be right for you? Making that determination is as simple as taking a breath.
