So, do the free stuff sites work?
I get questions a lot about the free sites I do (like this one), and whether they work or not. The answer is yes, but with some conditions… 1. You have to do your homework. Read Reviews. Not all are created equal. None really have a great reputation, but some better than others. (I’ll get to [...]
A night of community…
I had the pleasure of being part of a community outreach that our church hosted last week. We called the event “Fireside: A Night of Community”. Overall I think the event went really well. The leadership team put together a chili cookoff, we had Jeff Anderson (@JeffAOfficial for those of you on twitter) lead us [...]
ASUS Padfone – I like it.. a lot.
Phandroid has a great video on an upcoming device that just maybe could change how we do the whole phone/tablet equation… http://phandroid.com/2012/01/12/hands-on-asus-padfone-is-it-a-phone-tablet-or-both/ Share this:EmailFacebookPrint
Not really covering CES, just reading about it…
I m not one if the 140,000 press members and others at CES (The Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas this week. I have been reading press releases and blog posts. There are a few notables, however. Ubuntu Linux powered TV iRig Stompbox (I would love to demo one of these!!) Vlingo Voice Assistant [...]
Question of The Day: QR Codes
Are you using QR Codes in your ministry? If so, what are you using them for? Some Ideas: In our youth ministry, we use one on a label pointed to a GOSPEL presentation. Personally, I use one as my Twitter profile pic, that points to MinistryPlace.net (See Image..) I would love to hear what [...]
I know you are out there…
I know you are out there. Maybe You are a Youth Worker that has been told you are too young/old/boring/playful/whatever to effectively serve in youth ministry. Maybe you have been sucked into church politics without even knowing it and you are now paying the price. Maybe you’ve been bullied by a youth parent/deacon/elder/Sr Pastor/whoever. Maybe [...]
Random iPhone Thoughts: HTC Smackdown Edition….
I was reading this article yesterday, and it got me to thinking…. “Why do I see a bunch of 40 and 50 somethings with iPhones? Here are my answers: 1) They are reasonably affordable 2) They (usually) work without a lot of fuss. 3) They have a lot of advertising 4) Their high-school age/college age/20-something children [...]
Local Traditions and Festivals
What local traditions do you have where you serve in ministry? There are couple here that I never could have imagined before living in Indiana. For Example: The Newport Antique Auto Hill Climb – A bunch of people bring in modified (some more than others) autos to climb a big hill over Labor Day Weekend. [...]
What can the Church Learn from HP and IBM?
Newsflash, IBM no longer makes typewriters. HP has (mostly, we think?) killed off their mobile device/WebOS division. Both have taken bold steps in the last several years. They have let go of things that do not fit their goal (making money). We can learn a lesson from this in the church. I remember as a [...]
A Prayer for Today.
Lord, Guide each of us that trek in the trenches of youth ministry. Help us celebrate the breakthroughs with Teenagers and their Parents. Help us completely rely on You in good times and tough times. Refresh us through your Word speaking to us. Help us boldly proclaim your Word through our actions and our speech. [...]
Random Video Post…
