I’ll post more photos when I get back into town, but here are a few images from yesterday.

Today, we went to Tianamen Square, the Forbidden City, the market, and a Chinese acrobatics show.

Yesterday, I thought it would be interesting to get a haircut, and once I made that decision, I proceeded to go all out and get it colored as well. I’ve always wanted to do bright red, so this was very exciting for me.

Today, we also visited the Great Wall and also the 2008 Olympic Park. What an amazing day! I’ll post a few pics tomorrow.

This is a new installment in a series of videos that LifeChurch.tv has done where their Senior Pastor interviews Satan to get his perspective on a subject.

I love it.  These guys are so clever.

One of the many things I love about my job is the opportunities to build out event-specific websites.  The screen capture above is from the re-launch of the Sacred Storm website to promote the upcoming Halloween production at Faith Promise Church called Home Invasion, Sacred Storm.

Even if you’re not in the Knoxville area, you can still be a part of this event since there will be three broadcasts on our Internet Campus on Sunday, November 1st:

• 9:45 AM
• 11:45 AM
• 9:00 PM

We’d also love it if you’d do us a favor and help us spread the word by sharing this event with your social networks.  I believe God will use it to make a significant impact in people’s lives.

I’m really pumped about a trip that I’m taking with several friends later this week.  More details to follow later.

Every once in a while, when I’m relaxing in my chair – reading the Bible or some other book on my iPhone, or looking at a map to find the location of something on my phone – I feel like pinching myself to see if I’m dreaming.  Technology continues to make so many advances that it really blows my mind.

And then today, I came across this video.  It runs on PCs with a multi-touch screen.  Not sure how useful it would really be, but it sure looks great!

Living in a house with two little children, this seems to happen to me all the time. I’ll take off my shoes at the end of the day to find this sort of surprise.

What did I ever do without kids?

I’m in the middle of trying to kick off an online small group using webcams for people to connect with each other.  I think it will be a great way to build community and discipleship into the lives of people who are already connecting to our Internet Campus each weekend, and several churches seem to be using this technology very effectively.

Just in case someone else trying to do the same thing stumbles across this post, I’ve put together some guidelines and recommendations into a document.  I’m sure that it will be a work in progress, but you can download it in a couple of different formats below:
