Centrallix and Stewardship
The first thing you should know, Centrallix has the potential to replace the thousands of dollars that any one mission agency spends today on management software. In many ways, the continued success of this project is an issue of financial stewardship within the Christian community at large. Yeah, that’s a huge statement.

The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. James 1:17 (The Message) This verse out of [...]
Still workin’
Well folks, this is probably going to be the default theme for a while. I have not had a lot of luck getting a custom one working and it’s not real attractive having an ugly broken theme for newcomers – or even old-comers! Stay tuned… more interesting news to come… I promise!
Still workin’ on it
Still working on things here as far as getting the wordpress theme straight, however, I would like to extend a special thanks to Corey who just helped me get the css header straight. More to come eventually
