Snapshots & Screenshots
- 02/25/09

I have written a lot of articles through the past 6+ years of blogging. Within all of the “every day” have been a few that I consider favorites—articles that, for one reason or another, stick with me even months or years later. I’ve often thought about collecting some of those together and allowing this to serve as a kind of introduction to the site. I finally had opportunity to do just that.
And so I thought I’d offer this, Snapshots & Screenshots as a means of introducing myself and introducing what I write. It is a collection of twelve of my favorite articles; twelve of the ones I remember as I think back over the past few years. Those of you who have been reading the site for a long time may well remember some or all of those; I trust the newcomers will find something to enjoy as well.
The file is in PDF format so you’ll need the free Adobe Acrobat or another PDF reader to access it. You probably already have such a program on your computer. Feel free to pass the file around or print it if you feel so inclined.
You can download it right here. Enjoy!

Fantastic Tim. Except you left out “Why I Do Not Homeschool.” Maybe its own separate volume? :)
As a recent reader of your blog and participant in the Scripture Memorization (still an utter failure, but not giving up), I was eager to download and read Snapshots and Screenshots. Just read the first two and all I can say is “Wow”. You are a gifted writer and a blessing from our Lord above to us all. I quickly switched over to order your book, which I eagerly await. But in the mean time, I have this PDF.Blessings from Bonita, CA (near San Diego)
Beautifully presented!
This is fantastic, Tim! I am also relatively new to your site and I thank you for the opportunity to read some of your background. I think I need to take lessons from you on creating pdf’s.
Nice! Very nice.
That was without a doubt one of the finest PDF books I’ve ever seen (visually speaking) and some of your best writing.
I bet the hard copy of “The One True God” can’t beat that!
:)
Thanks.
Wonderful collection of articles, I hope you’ve sent them to your publisher - you really should!!
Nice Tim!
What a great idea and as others said, how beautifully done. This is a treasure, Tim. I agree that it would make a nice little hardbound book.
Beautifully designed. Very well done. Do you suppose you’ll look to get it in print?
Tim: Very elegantly designed. I’ve only flipped (scrolled) through it, but your use of images really allowed the mood to change for each piece. I look forward to reading through it all soon.
Can we ask, what was the “opportunity” that came up to allow you to put this together? The request of a publisher?
Very, very nice. I’ll have to print it out for some leisurely reading. Thanks for sharing. B.

What?!! No “Blockbuster Deal” ? :-)
I am glad that “Repaying A Gift” made the cut, though. That’s one of my absolute favorites.

I thought of including some of the more light-hearted fare, but somehow it didn’t seem to fit!

No, it wasn’t a publisher. I just thought it would serve as a good introduction for new readers of the site. Want to know what the site’s about? Here, read this…

Well, thank you.

I’m just not brave enough… :)
Thanks, Tim, for this collection. It has a really good graphic design. And I’ve read the last story first (was skimming, but stuck there). I’ve been to your blog for a several months, so I never saw that story before. Thanks for sharing it. “Morning Will Come” - a good message for Easter time and for all seasons of the year.
That is a great little book! Great idea! I am going to give away my printed copy to someone that I think would appreciate your site.
Fantastic little book. The repaying a gift is my favorite so far, with the Nancy story running a close second. (I’m on “The Greatest Hindrance”)
You don’t homeschool? I’ll have to read your thoughts on that one for sure :)

Feel free. Just don’t yell at me! :)
Thanks for sharing Tim…I could not help laugh at the bloody pages in Uncle Ron’s book…I still just love Working Man Hands and and I do not recall ever reading the one about Father’s Day.
I read it and even though I had read many before, it was still enjoyable!
Do I detect a bit of the Jason Santa Maria in the per-article art direction?

I’m not sure. I’ve never read his site but maybe it’s part of a wider art direction. To be honest, I searched high and low for design inspiration and didn’t find anything that fit. So I just went my own direction. I wanted to copy someone but couldn’t find anything that worked! :)
