Connected Classroom: Asus eeePC 101MT
I’ve been blessed with a finance committee that sees the way that I do youth ministry isn’t really described as typical. The Space we meet in is not conducive to a computer lab, or even a “mini-lab” so we have gone highly portable. We have gone primarily with Android-Based tablets […]

There are some things I love about Rural Ministry that I just love. One of those things are “Family Parties”. As a Youth Pastor, I get invited to family functions of the youth I minister to, which means I get to interact with the grandparents, cousins, crazy uncles, etc (there […]

Tough day if you just bought a TouchPad…
News just broke that HP is ceasing opearion of its WebOS unit (Think Palm Pre) that it just purchased last year with Palm. That means no new Pre or TouchPad devices, but it did leave a window open to license the operating system. I think it’s really sad. The OS […]

Our students were the only ones from out of state, but the other churches and students welcomed them like life-long friends. I got to reconnect with friends I have not […]
