You can set it up so that the Tweets (the messages sent on Twitter) are directly sent to your phone as a text message. I am realizing that text messaging or SMS is here to stay. In fact, I am finding myself connecting with people more through text messages than through a phone call or even e-mails at various times. When you are not able to use your phone, it is just easier to read a text message. It saves time! Think about all the time it takes to check your voicemail and then call that person back.

With the useful technology of Twitter, we have decided to use Twitter to communicate to our church members. We have started up a HMCC account.

We will be sending various announcements and reminders through Twitter. Most importantly, if there are emergencies or information that you need to know right away, then you will be able to receive it in real time through Twitter. It will be definitely faster through a text message than finding the time to check e-mail.

Be one of the first ones to sign up.

I also, made model cars and painted them for display. Bottom line, I was a car fanatic. Therefore when I saw the new $1.4 million Lamborghini Reventon, my jaws dropped.

They have stated that only 20 of these cars will be made for sale to only “friends and collectors.” Show me the money!

The Reventon has a 650-horsepower engine and it is made completely of carbon fiber laid over a carbon fiber and steel frame. They have even engineered the instrument panel to stimulate a modern jet, which is made up of liquid crystal and it shows a G-force display revealing longitudinal forces in a 3-D image. Incredible!

I just thought I would share this joy with all of you. Do you think we can rent this car out at Enterprise Car Rental? j/k.
 
 
 
Here are the pictures of the car:
 
 
 

 
This car can definitely go under a semi-truck

I envisioned this idea of airports having these mini-offices when I found myself using phone booths as my make-shift office. There is one in particular that has an electrical outlet. I have purchased an adapter which turns one outlet into three (I usually make friends with strangers this way in my travels – they are so thankful).

But they definitely have to make the area a bit bigger.

Here is a picture of the phone booth in DTW. In the future we will go completely wireless – even with charging equipment.
 
 
 

Technology and Church have somewhat of an anomalous relationship. When there is too much technology in the Church, some people get suspicious and even try to lay the charge that “we are becoming too much like the world.” When some churches lag behind, they become ineffective and lose the cutting edge in reaching a whole new generation. Do we need a balance? Possibly.

But why is it that the Church is always the last one to hop on the train? This is the reason why we have been accused of always copying the world. What would it be like if the Church came up with some of the newest high-tech discoveries? What would it be like if the world began to look to the Church for insights and ideas? We cannot let the world out-do the Church!

Check out this new technology that I can definitely see the Church utilizing for spreading the Gospel. It is called a touch-driven computer screen. Absolutely incredible!

One day, sermons will be given with a 3D holographic image of Moses splitting the Red Sea, or Paul preaching at Areopagus… or how about visiting Golgotha and actually being able to witness the crucifixion… it will be very sobering to say the least.
