Hmmm... some thoughts ... I find it interesting inblog world the thoughts that people express. Sometimes thoughts that I have never heard people express before... Eventhough I think I knwo them well enough to knwo that they may not really think what they are expressing.

So this is interpreted [with me twisted head] in several ways...

1. People don't really share what they really think until they sit in front of the safety of thier PC and publish to the world what the world cannot refute to them directly but only through the subversive world of the text to screen web.
2. People steal ideas from other bloggers and regurgitate them on their own blogs so that in their circle of friends it would seem that they came up with the idea. Gosh I wish I had that idea guy hidden in a cage in my attic that I could get the ideas and post them to the web first for all the world to be amazed at my wisdom as well as my stunning good looks.
3. WE have this intense desire to belong ... even to a thought process or ethos so we desperately want to identify with thoughts and ideas that make us feel we are significant in this massive world of millions of others blogging away through life. So we have these thoughts 'I blog becasue its bigger than me' I blog to something bigger something beyond me yet I am significant in the grand scheme because I get to contribute to it. And so we 'pray' to the blog god...

Hmm ok I go to far... Just a thought... something to consider....

No doubt that the first church to ever use an overhead projector was very innovative. At the time it must have been a very novel idea. It allowed us to sing without hymnals and songbooks; it allowed the pastor to make draw illustrations and write down bullet-points, and… it allowed children to make strange shadow contortions. Okay, the latter wasn’t the main reason for you to invest in an OHP.
"The media screen is the stained glass window of the 21st century.
Electronic media are ‘the digital campfire’ of the 21st century."
Use of the Overhead projector is widespread in churches today. It’s a pretty safe bet that every church has at least one Overhead projector. The church is quickly also becoming the only place where OHP’s are still in use. All around us, in media, advertising, the corporate world and academia, video-projectors are replacing overhead projectors. Connected to a laptop a video-projector is a far more professional tool. It allows the presenter to make sharp presentations, and to incorporate clips of video, thus radically increasing the impact of the presentation.

Gery michalski is a goof!!!
Wow Here we are. Thoughts for the day. The Church today is definitely in transition and how are we preparing ourselves to transition with it. Its amazing to me how many leaders in out nation just do not understand the importance and significance of the emerging trends in technology and it interconnectedness to the growth of the church.
