Free Desktop Wallpaper Calendars: May 2011

Resources Collection cover image

With a new month comes a whole new batch of desktop wallpapers, lovingy crafted by some of the readers of this blog. They are all free for you to download, enjoy and install on your computer, iPad, iPhone or other device. Enjoy!

A few notes: 320 x 480 is for your iPhone; 1024 x 1024 is for your iPad; your desktop or laptop may take any of the other sizes depending on your monitor size and a host of other considerations. If you’re not sure of the size, just find one that looks like it would be pretty much the same size as your screen. Generally you set one of these are your wallpaper by clicking on the link to the image, then right-clicking on the image (once it’s open) and selecting “Set as Background,” “Set as Desktop Background,” or something similar.

Holiday at the Sea

Created by Anna Cirlot, Gautier, MS. I took this photo on a mini vacation with my family last week and kept thinking about this quote as my toddler danced through the waves at sunset. How many of us really understand what God is offering us in Christ?

May

Created by Harold Sikkema from Hamilton, Canada. This watery garden consists of photographs of water, pouring into my bathroom sink; arranged, mirrored, colourized — and inspired by the dreary wetness that will spawn dreamy wildflowers.

Those Whose Hearts

Created by Eric Novak from Chicago, IL. The story of the prophet Hanani in 2 Chronicles is very short- basically he speaks God’s message, is thrown in prision and we don’t hear about him again until 1 Kings when his son is mentioned. However, Hanani’s words are a strong encouragment to the modern-day Christian.

He Is Wonderful

Thanks to all of this month’s designers! We’ll be back in June, and this will (hopefully) be even bigger and better. If you are an artist, photographer or graphic designer and would like to participate next month, just go ahead and contact me and I’ll tell you all you need to know.

    While I am committed to reading and reviewing Christian books, I also enjoy reading a steady diet of books published for the general market. I suppose my interests lean toward history, but I do read other books as well. Here are a few of the titles I’ve enjoyed over the past couple of months.
