MUST WATCH: “Move” from the creators of KONY 2012

10.9.2012 — 1 Comment

200px-Stop_Kony_2012_posterA brand-new follow-up video from the creators of the KONY 2012 video and campaign released a couple days ago.

This video is a half-hour long, but definitely worth watching.

The behind-the-scenes look at what happened in the wake of their initial KONY 2012 video is revealing and honest.

If you think you knew the story behind the KONY 2012 campaign and got your information simply by watching the nightly news, this will help give a new perspective of the days surrounding some of what took place, especially in the life of Jason Russell (the Creative Director of Invisible Children) and Invisible Children as a whole.

I appreciate the honest, behind-the-veil look at the events that took place and the way in which Invisible Children is unrelenting in their pursuit to see Joseph Kony brought to justice.

Switchfoot in Shippensburg

9.15.2012 — Leave a comment

It’s not everyday that my favorite band plays a show in my backyard. But that did happen today. And I got to enjoy the show with my wife and children!

What a treat to see Switchfoot quite literally in our backyard at the Shippensburg Fairgrounds during this year’s Uprise Festival.

We actually took in a majority of the Red set, Jeremy Camp’s set (and powerful preaching!), and ended the evening with Switchfoot.

I had my DSLR in-hand and snapped some shots:

The Benedictions Don’t Get Much Press

9.10.2012 — 3 Comments

If you’ve watched any of the Republican or Democratic National Conventions over the past couple of weeks you’ve probably missed out on the closing benedictions that, in my opinion, SHOULD have been aired on the national television broadcasts.

Each of these four prayers included here for your viewing/listening pleasure is fantastic in its own right and well worth the few minutes of listening in my opinion. I’d love to know what you thought in the comments here on the blog.

Bill Nye the Humanist Guy

9.6.2012 — Leave a comment

bnshBill Nye (of former “Science Guy” fame) once taught me cool science-stuff (no where near as cool as Mr. Wizard) on PBS during my Jr/Sr High School years. He was the “safe” scientist back then.

Recently, Nye was featured in a “Big Think” video entitled, “Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children” which can be viewed at this link. In his two-and-a-half-minute video, Nye declares some pretty heavy statements regarding the “danger” of teaching Creationism to children. He even makes a broad statement that in just a couple centuries “that world view will not exist”, and that “there’s just no evidence for it”.

I think the video is worth watching:

At present time, the video has been viewed more than 4-million times and it is continuing to gain momentum.

In this ‘digital age’ where strong statements often find their way onto YouTube with a MUCH larger audience than many other platforms, I’m pleased that the folks at Answers in Genesis have released at least two videos refuting Nye’s claims. I think, they too, are worth watching:

First, a video featuring two of the Creation Museum’s “Science Guys”, Dr. David Menton (PhD in Biology from Brown University) and Dr. Georgia Purdom (Phd in Molecular Genetics from Ohio State University).

Second is a response from Ken Ham – the President & CEO of the Creation Museum and Answers in Genesis:
