I like the header on this web site. A detailed photograph with interactive elements that link to his portfolio, Twitter, music, etc. The mouseovers make it navigable. Overall, well done and a nice little showcase of his talent.
Unfortunately, when I first found it, I really thought that the header was the only thing on the page. There is no indication what anything lies below it, unless you happen to notice the scroll bar on the right. I was on my laptop, which is a 15.6″ widescreen. Here’s a screenshot of how it appeared in my browser window:
Christianity and democracy go hand in hand. In fact, true democracy is the child of Christianity. Both emphasize the dignity of the individual. Both make the person to be more important than the state. The rights and powers of the central government are given to it by the people. The state is for the citizens, not the citizens for the state.

The great danger to our civilization comes not when subversive movements appear — but only when our people relinquish their former ideals, disavow their former beliefs, and accept the new philosophical ideology!
….
The real difficulty today is that the higher, nobler, worth-while things of life have been taken away from us. We have relinquished them and have received nothing to replace them.
….
The twentieth century has made much progress scientifically, hygienically, mechanically, and materially. But — while doing so we have surrendered our basic beliefs, relinquished our cherished ideals, seared our modern consciences, and well-nigh damned our immortal souls.

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn’t there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That you would take my pain away
You would take my pain away
I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crooked lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands
When you walked upon the earth
You healed the broken, lost and hurt
I know you hate to see me cry
One day you will set all things right
Yeah, one day you will set all things right
When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands
Your hands that shaped the world
Are holding me
They hold me still
