Thanks for the look into your adventures! And I just have to tell you - dump Paint. Google's free Picasa is the best. http://picasa.google.com/

Stuff Christians Like - Jon Acuff : What are the best books you've ever read?

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:19:54 +0000

*The Lord of the Rings, of course. Just about every part of God's story is tucked in that one *A Wrinkle in Time. Realizing a story can be about Jesus even if it doesn't tell you it is. *Harry Potter. A masterful juggling of sacrifice and people as a mix of good and evil. And each one a fabulous, surprising story. *A Tale of Two Cities, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Les Miserables. High school english can be worthwhile. *A Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Cadillac Desert. Valuing what God gave us. *Three Cups of Tea, Mountains Beyond Mountains. Appreciating the difference one person can make. *Ender's Game, The Golden Compass, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Just great writing. *My Utmost For His Highest, Water from a Deep Well, Crazy Love, Myth of a Christian Nation, Divine Conspiracy, Love is an Orientation, Simply Christian. Trying hard to be more like Christ.

BeDeviant.com : What Are You Reading?

1. Just finished: "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan (gut-wrenching, highly recommend) 2. Currently reading: "Water from a Deep Well: Christian Spirituality from Early Martyrs to Modern Missionaries" by Gerald Sittser (both informative and convicting) 3. Excited to read: a Mike Erre book - either "Death by Church" or "Jesus of Suburbia"

Enjoying the post and comments, Justin. But it cracks me up that all your replies are in video form. I would rather read than watch/listen. Of course, now I know that you were avoiding your Greek studying to read comments :)

ChurchCrunch : Top 60 Church Blogs and Their Blogging Platform of Choice

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:09:13 +0000

Wordpress.org is great, but .com is free and easy. There's no tech or cost barrier like there is with .org. Churches and leaders should be encouraged not to let cost or lack of know-how stop them from starting a good blog.

Is EVERYONE using WP.org? Because .com use would also be interesting.

Dang. Convicted again of being a two-year-old with God.

ChurchCrunch : Sermon Browser Plugin for WordPress

Sun, 4 Jan 2009 05:40:24 +0000

Our church website uses Wordpress (http://www.pacificchurch.com). We create a post for each sermon. We embed the powerpoint through Slideshare, and use a basic podcast widget to create a podcast enclosure and embedded media player... We only have one pastor preaching, generally, so.... do we really need this? Sell it to me!

Nice look! Did the pages and pages of feedback on Carlos' updated site ragamuffinsoul.com affect your style choices? Or just scare you to death?

Howdy Los! You and John are doing fine work. I just wanted to give you the perspective of someone with a small laptop. Lots of banner, no content: http://twitpic.com/wrukAlso a personal preference.... I like banners that are different with each reload, rather than flash banners. Change makes me woozy :)

ChurchCrunch : Multiple Short URL\'s with Class

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 18:23:06 +0000

Sorry - I be lost. Is it like tinyurl, but it somehow sends one link that contains multiple links? Does it open them all in tabs? Separate Windows? Just opens a web page with all links attached? Why is this better than your own "Friday Five" summary web page with a link to your own site?

Praying for peace for Peter, and successful processing from his trip (if your experience was anything to go by). And if I could think of more words that began with "p" I'd pray those too.

ChurchCrunch : Google Alerts for Ministry

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 18:41:31 +0000

All right, John. I tried it. I set alerts for pastors in city, for churches in my city, and for my church itself... as I am the volunteer webmaster/ media geek. After leaving it running for a month, I've found: a. Three cool blogs by local pastors b. The only thing in the news about churches in our area is Prop. 8 backlash c. The only internet presence our small church generates are our own web page posts. So that was illuminating! Thanks for the idea.
