9 Random iPhone/iPod Touch Apps (...that I...
This is just an Uber Quick list of apps that I have and really like. This is not a full review but more of a list to provide some things for fellow iPhone/iPod Touch users to look in to. Some are free, others cheap, the rest not. Some of these “expensive ones” have free versions but the reason I listed the non-free version is because of what it offers above the free version.

Help Build a Youth Center
I’ve always dreamed about building a youth center. Since I’ve arrived in Eastern Montana, it has become painfully obvious that there is not enough for students to do. That is one reason that Montana has one of the highest underage drinking rates in the nation and Eastern Montana leads the state of Montana. In my town there is literally no where for students to hang out that is geared...

What to do with all those Pictures...?
Check out the Video at the End!
I have too many pictures. However, despite having thousands of pictures, I hardly ever use them. Occasionally one or two of them find their way into some brochure, web page, or some other medium, but that still leaves, in my judgment, far too many of them just sitting in cold and dreary isolation.
That’s where Animoto shines its light of hope and gives...

Upcoming Blog Posts...
Just wanted to jot some planned blog posts I’ll be working on:
One will be a tutorial on upgrading a Macbook Pro hard drive and giving a quick look inside.
Another will be 10-ish iPhone apps I absolutely love. This list will be a varied list so there will be something for everyone.
A Philosophical/Theological type of look at Creativity and the Human.
I plan on trying to do a weekly (or...

Iranian Elections
I’m not a constpiracy therist by any means but I can’t help to wonder about Iran’s latest election results. According to the polls before voting day, the margin between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (current president) and Mir-Hossein Mousavi were close but after the ballets were counted, Ahmadinejad came out the winner with over 60% of the votes, a outright huge margin. So, you have the...

Top 10 Resources for the Church Media Guy
I don’t pretend to be an expert on Church Media. It’s not my professional job and I technically don’t have any professional training or education in the field. But, the advantage I do have is that I am the sole person responsible for the media aspect of our church and I end up designing a variety of projects for our church: Sermon PowerPoint slides, business cards, videos, websites, and much more....

What to do with Tumblr?
I’ve been mulling over what I want tumblr for? Should it be a blog on specific topics or cover a broad arena of topics? Should it be more of a scrapbook of my life and thoughts? Should it be a portfolio of differing art/design work, videos, and sermons/lessons I’ve done through time?
Not sure. I would like to use it…just not sure how?

Camp was Great. Need mas Sleep. Do Hard Things!
I was a little nervous about this camp. This year has been way too busy and too many things were left unplanned. To add to that, to be speaking AND making the videos AND to run all the media put a large work load on me, it was nearly impossible to spend time on my messages at camp. Every night, before I spoke, I forced myself to go for a quick drive and I always said the same prayer: “God,...

God's forgotten Wrath...
I don’t mean to be picky. I’m really not a fire and brimstone type of guy. I fully believe in love, grace, forgiveness, and mercy. However, I was preparing a sermon on “Anger” and one of my main ideas is that anger is not a sin but often times is the right response because God has made us in His image and when that image is attacked (let us say in another, as in a rape,...

Is He Safe? - C.S. Lewis
Mr. Beaver: Why, Daughter of Eve, that’s what I brought you here for. I’m to lead you where you shall meet him.
Lucy: Is – is he a man?
Mr. Beaver: Aslan a man! Certainly not. I tell you he is the King of the wood and the son of the great Emperor-beyond-the-Sea. Don’t you know who is the King of Beasts? Aslan is a lion – the Lion, the great Lion.
Susan: Ooh! I’d thought he was a man. Is he – quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.
Mrs. Beaver: That you will, dearie, and no mistake, if there’s anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they’re either braver than most or else just silly.
Lucy: Then he isn’t safe?
Mr. Beaver: Safe? Don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King I tell you.

Yet another Social Networking Site to Keep up...
I must admit that I am impressed by both the simplicity and ability of tumblr. I’m able to blog, upload my graphic design stuff, share videos that I’ve made, follow people, and more. It’s a simplified combination of Twitter, Facebook, and Blogger.
BUT, with that said, it’s frustrating that the type of site I’ve been waiting for has taken this long to cross my path....
