BE HERE NOW (Video)

10.11.2010 — Leave a comment

One of my “worship arts” heroes is Blaine Hogan. He’s a creative director on staff at Willow Creek, a small church in the Chicagoland-area.

I was a fan of his before I knew he was on staff at Willow, too. Jess and I were fans of his acting performance on one of our favorite shows of all-time, Prison Break.

This video he just released was a creative collaboration between him and a few others that was a part of the Global Leadership Summit at Willow Creek this year. I was eating my lunch today when I saw it. Time slowed as I watched it and soaked it in. Watch “Be Here Now”:


I have always been a fan of creative-uses of media in worship settings and this is one of my new favorites!

I’m a wannabe survivalist.

10.7.2010 — 1 Comment

If you know me, you know of my slight obsession with real-life Survivalists, Bear Grylls and Les Stroud. These guys have been challenging me from the comfort of my couch to get out and not only survive, but THRIVE amidst the dangers of the great outdoors.

Today I stumbled upon a new creation by Bear Grylls – it’s a collaborative-creation between Bear and Gerber (makers of all things ‘sharp’).

Check it out and tell me this wouldn’t be the coolest Christmas gift, ever.


Wanna buy one? They’re available at Amazon.com (of course)!

God plays with lasers? (video)

I love this timelapse video of the Northern Lights by National Geographic. Reminds me of a laser light show. Quite breathtaking on video. I can only imagine how much more it would take away my breath in person!

The Northern Lights are one of nature’s most spectacular visual phenomena, and in this time lapse video they provide a breathtaking display of light, shape, and color over the course of a single night in Norway.

How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:24

Sunday Review | 2010.09.26

9.26.2010 — Leave a comment

Today was a great day all around at First Wesleyan of Shippensburg! I taught on the topic of “words” this morning with a realization that we are people of “words” and need to be people of The Word – God’s Word. His Word is perfect, our guide, and alive!

I showed a clip from the NPR/Radiolab video, “Words” and also finished the sermon by reading Rob Lacey’s 2-Minute Bible from the Word on the Street paraphrase.

We had guests from Kittany (PA), Newark (DE), and Hagerstown (MD) today at First Wesleyan!

This evening 40+ of us gathered back at the church for a fellowship dinner. We had a wonderful time building relationships with each other! I am so grateful to be a part of a church family that enjoys getting together “just because”! It was refreshing to gather together tonight just for the sake of building relationships with each other!

I uploaded a bunch of photos from tonight’s gathering on Facebook.

FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE – “We No Speak Americano ft. Cleary & Harding”

9.25.2010 — Leave a comment

One of the things I miss about leading a weekly youth group is a segment that I invented called “Found it on YouTube”.

Since I currently don’t have the outlet of showing my latest favorite “found it on YouTube” videos to a youth group, I will still plan on sharing these viral-wonders via my blog.

First up: “We No Speak Americano ft. Cleary & Harding”.

Haven’t done much research yet, but these two are apparently Irish dancers who have a lot of time on their hands.

Enjoy:
