My buddy Brad Zimmerman (the mastermind behind the video-visuals at SETAPART ’07 – the Wesleyan Youth Convention we just had in Orlando) has just finished putting up the first episode of his new vidcast called, “Church Media Design”. The first episode is entitled, “Countdown to Launch”, and includes tutorials on building a countdown timer in both Adobe AfterEffects as well as the new stand-alone program, The Countdown Creator.
The production value is all that I hoped it would be and it’s nice to have a friend like Brad who is willing to share things that he knows that I wish I knew!
Brad is looking at the podcast as a ministry – giving back to those of us in ministry who need all the help we can get.
If you’re interested, you can stream the first episode TODAY on the website – www.churchmediadesign.tv and eventually subscribe to its RSS feed to download into iTunes!

My mother-in-law saw Mike Huckabee’s book at the Christian bookstore and immediately thought of me and bought it for me. I finished it in three days.
I read things about Mike Huckabee that I never knew. The book revolves around the word “Character”. Huckabee talks about the character that he has and why it’s important to make strides to keep one’s character of utmost importance.
The book was written before Huckabee’s public run for Presidential office and gives great background on where he came from, what he believes, and what he feels a Christian-perspective of politics should be! It’s really fantastic and a quick-read!
We returned home this afternoon from a few days in Warrens, WI at the Wisconsin District “Getaway”. We had a blast!
We enjoyed meeting up with old friends and even making some new ones! For some reason we were in a handicapped room for the two nights and the shower (above) was awful short for ‘ol Stevan.
More pics here.
Ella missed us, too, but she had a trouble-free couple of days without Mom and Daddy thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Garrett! We arrived home to a happy-house and a clean-house, too!
Awkward moment of the weekend was being kissed on the cheek by Rev. Mark Wilson! Apparently my grandmother had asked him to “pass it on” after seeing him last week in Florida! Thanks Grandma!
