The guys from cellhelmet pitched their case/plan on SharkTank last night.. They didn’t get a deal.. the reason being (I think), the Sharks don’t get it. Each of them said the same thing.. “if I break my phone, I’m going to go to the store, and buy a new one.. I can’t wait 3 days for a new phone”.. thats a typical multimillionaire speaking. I, however, am not a multimillionaire.. and I can’t just go and buy a new iPhone, so the ability to have my iPhone replaced for free (or close to it) speaks to me. The Sharks simply are out of touch with the market that the Cellhelmet guys are working with, and I think thats one of the main reasons they didn’t get a deal.

I’ve been an avid fan of Paul Baloche for a number of years, really since I started leading worship, about 10 years ago. Paul is someone I would easily call my friend and we haven’t actually met yet! He and I do have a friendship online.. but not one of those “he’s one of my 5000 friends I never talk to”.. we actually talk a lot.. He’s one of the most relatable guys I know, and his passion to see the church worship is awesome.
Cue the LeadWorship Workship.. but I’m not going to tell you about it.. I’ll let Paul..
The LeadWorship Workshop is going to be awesome, and if you are a worship leader, you really need to be there. If there is someone who can teach you about how to be the best worship leader you can be, it Paul Baloche, as he’s celebrating 20 years as the worship pastor in his church. He has written more “hits” that you are singing in your church than I can possibly list here.. To list literally just a few.. “Your Name”, “Above All”, “The Same Love”, “Open The Eyes of My Heart”, “Glorious”.. and trust me.. this could go on and on.. but, I know Paul will read this, and he doesn’t want it to be about him.. he wants it to be about ya’ll.. because thats the kind of guy he is! The LeadWorship Workshop is also a place you can come, learn, and connect with many other great leaders.

I am always amazed at what we can do with technology. As you all know, I’m a big fan of tech, and how we can use it. But today I found something absolutely amazing.
What you are about to witness is the first ever music collaboration to take place between earth and outerspace! How cool is that… and it happened between The Canadian band, Barenaked Ladies front man Ed Robertson and the Canadian Commander Chris Hadfield of the International Space Station.
Their song, “Is Somebody Singing”(aka I.S.S.) , was officially commissioned by CBC Music and the Coalition for Music Education for the upcoming Music Monday celebrations, the annual initiative championing music education.

As you look at your walk with Christ, is it just smoke and mirrors? Is it all about pointing at yourself, and putting the attention on you, just like magic. Or is it a true miracle? Are you living or him day to day, loving him? Acts 8 shows us how Simon went from wowing people with his Magic, to living a true life of Miracles.

Are you using your gifts to make yourself seem great, or are you using them to build up the body of Christ? In 1 Corinthians 14:1-12 we read all about the importance of using our gifts to point to God, not ourselves.

Just thought I would share this useful tip with everyone. I’ve been looking for a free WebDAV for months, and every time I find one, it seems they change their business plan and start charging for their service.
If you’re wondering what I use a WebDAV for, it allows me to save files from my iPad to my box.net cloud service, or you could pay for dropdav and save those files to dropbox. You see, I don’t have the latest version of Mac OS X on my MacBoom, and because of that, I can’t run iCloud on it, which means when I save files in Pages on my iPad, the only way to get them to my Mac is either to email them to myself (oldschool), or to use dropbox or box.net cloud services… But you can’t send files from pages (on your iPad) directly to these services.. This is why you need a WebDAV. In pages you can “share to WebDAV” just like you would share to email.
Because box.net allows you to do it for free, I’ll provide the server info for that, but if you want to use dropbox, and don’t mind paying a few dollars a month for dropdav, you can just put in their server address instead.
Assuming you have a box.net account open Pages on your iOS device then select the “plus” button in the document window.
Then select “copy from WebDAV”
The server address is “https://www.box.com/dav”
Put in your username and password, and your good to go.
You can now upload documents directly from Pages to your Box.net account. All you do when you’re done typing a document is press the wrench in the upper left corner, then press share and print:
Then press copy to WebDAV and select the folder you want it to go in and you’re done!
Pages also gives you the option to convert the document to PDF or Word format or keep it in Pages format when it copies it.
And if you’re like me and you had a folder on dropbox that you wanted to move over to box, so you could manage it all through WebDAV, check out “backup box” a free (up to 10gb) automatic file transfer service!
Striving to live like Jesus.
