My friend Brook James says this gets him more traffic, mainly nerds like him and myself. (putting Star Wars in the title). I don't care about traffic, obviously, since I haven't blogged in over a month. I just wanted to see if his hypothesis is correct. If so, really funny. There will be a new and real blog post on here tomorrow. If you still come to my blog to see if I've posted something new I commend you for sticking around.
Here are my iPhone Apps. The first page will not change, but I will probably mix some of the others up.
Ready or not, church on-demand is here. What do I mean by this? There are more and more churches who are doing church online, which in turn means there are more and more opportunities for people to hear God's Word. I believe this is the most important piece of it. If you are doing Church online, are people hearing the Gospel and are people given a chance to respond to this? If not, why do you do Church Online? With web 2.0 possibilities I believe the Church can reach more and more people. One major question I have is, how do you keep your church local while also taking it global? I think this is something that is learned on the go. I am not sure there is a generic right answer for all. It's something that I think each church is going to have to figure out on there own. Anyways, I love the Church presence online and what it can accomplish. I can't wait for the day when youth services are broadcasted online. I think this is something our youth can enjoy, but I think it has to look different than Church Online looks for adults. I would love to sit down with some youth pastors and talk this through. What does Church Online for Youth look like? How do you draw youth to it? I have so many questions and so few answers. I feel many blog posts coming on about youth and Church Online. Who wants to tackle this with me? This would be a great job. So, if you are looking to do youth online I would love to talk about it.
In what ways are you taking care of your online community the same way you are taking care of your offline community? Obviously some things can't crossover to the other, but there are definitely things that do. What are those that do?
I love the church, absolutely love it. I could sit down with you and talk ministry all day. Whether it's media, youth, small groups or vision. I will not talk singles ministry with you other than to say do away with it. Over the last 2 years I have been a chaplain for a private Christian school here in Orange County. That time is coming to an end. The last day of classes was today and finals are next week. Not only is school out for the summer it is out for good for me. I have decided not to return for another year. There are a couple reasons for this and if you want I can explain it to you if you really want to know. This was my decision. It's just time to move on. I love the students and staff and will miss them very much. This being said, I am obviously looking for a new job. A job in ministry. Whether it's in the Church or a non-profit or a para church organization I am searching and praying for what is next. If you want to pray for me that would be awesome. If you know of anything, especially in Southern California, please let me know. My resume is to the right if you want to download it. Thanks for listening and thanks for hanging in there with me over the last 2 months of no blogging.
I took a couple months off from blogging. It was nice. It allowed me to read more and and not worry about coming up with a post. Well, that hiatus is over.
I have not blogged in almost a month. Why is this? I am trying to find my niche. I am guessing my niche would be what I am passionate about. Is that what your niche is on your blog? Here is what I am passionate about in alphabetical order: The Church, Social Media, Sports and Web 2.0(which is kind of Social Media) So my question is what does this look like as a blog? Help me. Please give me your ideas and how I can create a blog based on these things. I like writing, but have hit a road block the last couple of months. Part of this has to do with me trying to find a new job I guess. Anyways, what are your thoughts?
If you are a college basketball fan like myself, then you know that the tournament really begins in October when teams are allowed to hold official practices. Odds are that your team is already out of the tournament. The field is down to 16 and by the end of this weekend will be down to the Final Four. My team by the way is Oklahoma State. We put up a good fight against Pitt, but our inability to rebound over their guys really hurt us in the end. All the other stats were pretty even except for the rebounding margin. So, who is your team? Who do you follow all year round? Or are you the fan who only follows during the season? Or the fan who only follows once the tourney starts? Who do you have winning it all in your bracket, and who do you want to win it in your heart?
I meant to put this on my blog a while ago. This summer my wife and I went to see "Dark Night" at our little move theater here in Dana Point. We were waiting in line and at the front was Magic. I'm a hug basketball fan, not a Laker fan, but I loved watching Magic play when I was little.
I received my degree in Broadcast Journalism and found a couple of videos. The first one is on my friend Kenny's youtube page and the second is on mine. They are a little embarrassing and if you know me they may be a little funny. Enjoy. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-Z8I87IkTA] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsRYF0T5G3Q]
