agaWHAT?
a·ga·pe (αγάπη): unselfish, benevolent love, born of the Spirit.
Agape discerns needs and meets them unselfishly and effectively.
The projects, services and commentary on this site are part of my agape try, a lifelong effort to love God and love people by rightly using the time and abilities He has leant me. As a husband, father, engineer, farmer and/or software developer, I have found this stewardship effort to be often fraught with contradiction. A wise and sustainable balancing of roles has seemed to elude me. Yet I want to keep trying, trusting that if God blesses and multiplies the effort, it will become agapetry, a creative arrangement motivated by benevolent love.

When I saw the name Agape, I recognised that this was the Greek word for spiritual love, along with eros and filio. A great blog name that stops and makes you catch a moment of awareness …

Kevin, everyting about this site makes my heart smile. Not only have you provided me with an exact type of plugin that I’ve been looking for, your entire message speaks a life I am trying to live myself. THEN i saw that you’re from Michigan… triple-win!
Keep up with what you’re doing and know that God is using you to bless others.
Grace and peace!

Kevin: Even by the standards of Wordpress developers, the Role Scoper plugin looks like an amazing act of generosity! Chris

Dear Kevin,
As a way of thanking you for Role Scoper, please accept this tip of advice: try using Google Analytics to track usage patterns in your website.
Looking at your code I saw no reference to Analytics, so I guess you probably use the standard Analog, AWstats or Webalizer programs for statistics. Do keep them for comparison purposes, but try Google Analytics for a process-oriented perspective (that I haven’t found anywhere else). As your site seems to be having a pretty significant amount of traffic, you will most certainly benefit from this data.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
Alfonso
