Putting the Passage of Amendment 10-A for Christians Worldwide in Statistical Perspective
Back in August of 2006 I created the blog “Eyes Right” as a Christian team blog where I (and others) could share posts related to Christianity and our walks of faith. Since that time, I’ve generally shared posts focused on religious, spiritual, and specifically Christian topics there rather than here on my main blog, “Moving…

Lessons Learned from Finger Puppet Theater on Vimeo

This video by Nick Vujicic (“Are You Going To Finish Strong?) can help anyone get some perspective on their life and day, as well be inspired.

Online video editing with Kaltura and Stroome
Following up on my browser-based video editing experiments with Jaycut earlier in the week, this evening I used the website Stroome.com to edit a short, four minute video about an outreach project of our local church in Edmond, Oklahoma. Stroome uses the open source Kaltura video editor, and this was my first time to use…

Message for Oklahoma Christians: Muslims are NOT our enemies
This evening at our church’s annual congregational meeting, a leader of the mission committee stood up and talked about a recent trip he’d taken to Uganda. He commented that this time, he noticed more Muslim mosques in the towns they visited, and said this was evidence “the enemy is advancing.” I almost fell out of…

Green Screen Effects in iMovie 09
Last month fifth graders in the Sunday School class I teach at our church recorded both still images and video to create a “remix” of a music video by the group, “Go Fish.” To seek formal permission for this remixed version, I posted the video as a YouTube response to the original music video. I…
