Dear United Methodist Church –

Great video! I hope our denominational departments will create media like this!


Today was our second day-away here at my parent’s house in Middleburg, PA. Dad asked me to help get the yard mowed this afternoon and I’ve never been one to turn down opportunities to ride lawnmowers (glorified gokarts) around for a few hours, so we did.

As I was coming into the backyard from the front, I was once-again caught off guard at the beauty and glory of Jack’s Mountain that their church and home are nestled in front of. It was breathtaking today.

When’s the last time YOU paused to realize all that God has created around you? Do it soon!

I also severely injured a snake with a big rock today. I feel good about that since Satan appeared as one in the Bible. Almost a spiritual act – attempting to rid the property of snakes!

Have you heard about Dropbox?

Dropbox is an incredible, FREE, online service that you install on your PC or MAC to allow storage and synchronization of files!

Initially, Dropbox offers 2gb of storage for FREE! (You can upgrade to 5gb for free by referring others to install Dropbox on their computers, too)

Dropbox also offers two other paid-accounts: PRO (features 50gb storage) for $9.99/month or $99/year and PREMIUM (features 100gb storage) for $19.99/month or $199/year.

I use Dropbox every week to synch-up files from my laptop computer to computers in my youth room, our sancutary’s AV computer, and even our home computer! Saving files inside my “Dropbox” folder instantly places it at one (or more) of these locations. I’ve also used Dropbox to share some of my favorite YouTube clips with other youth pastors from across the country! Anytime one of us finds a good clip, we can download it and save it to our Dropbox folder that we’ve shared and it shows up on all of our computers automagically!

So, take my advice and check out Dropbox today!

Scared about your files’ safety? Your files are always safe. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage!

Is it “normal” (or even okay) that the first thing that came into my head when I saw this image was, “I wonder which one of my teens would be willing to try this on camera?!”

In case the image doesn’t load for you – check out the YouTube video.
