Pay for music/movies? Teens say, No Thanks.
July 25, 2010In a recent report on music week 55% of teens said they don’t intend to pay for acquired through the internet. I think we are living in a world where people want content for free. The problem is that it isn’t free. People put their life and money on the line to make a cd or movie. I do think in the next few years we need to rethink what copyrights mean in a digital era.

What I am listening to.
July 23, 2010Johnny Cash is a genius. I just saw a documentary on him and was blown away by his life. I purchased the cd, American VI and was amazed by his song Redemption day. Check out the lyrics,
I’ve wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who’ve gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It’s in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing
There is a train that’s heading straight
To heaven’s gate, to heaven’s gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day
Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It’s just an image often seen
On television
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren’t listening
There is a train that’s heading straight
To heaven’s gate, to heaven’s gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day
What do you have for us today?
Throw us a bone but save the plate
On why we waited til so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of great
There is a train that’s heading straight
To heaven’s gate, to heaven’s gate
And on the way, child and man,
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day
It’s buried in the countryside
It’s exploding in the shells at night
It’s everywhere a baby cries
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

Great T.V Show!

Why are Youth Ministry books so lame?
July 21, 2010I have been looking for a great youth ministry book for awhile. Honestly, I feel that once you have read some of the basic youth ministry books then its time to move on to something that is a a challenge. I don’t want another help book for youth ministry. I can run a program fine. I can deliver a youth talk great. Because of this I haven’t read a youth ministry book in a long time. I was looking back at my library and I still think one of the best youth ministry books is The Godbearing Life, by Dean and Foster. I was at a Christian bookstore today and was saddened with the choices for youth pastors. It felt pretty limited, and that is why I just walked by the youth ministry section. Is there other great books for youth ministry out there?

Why I love apple.

Great quote from a writer at wired magazine below,
“I’ve been at the Infinite Loop campus a few times and yes, it’s all true. Obviously, that’s a rental. Or he burned it after wearing it.” [Wired]

Best Movie of the Summer (so far!)
July 19, 2010Checked out this movie on friday. It is epic. Probably one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Don’t go see this movie to see an action flick. It is a movie with layers. Christopher Nolan is a genius director. I was wondering how he would out do The Dark Knight, but this movie is just a master piece. You need to check this film out. I think I might go see it in IMAX.

great music video
