Start The New Year Off Right
Wow – what a crazy last week this has been. I hope you had a great holiday and are enjoying the beginning of 2010. One thing I recently did was to sign up for one of YouVersion’s new reading plans. I encourage you to check them out, too. I also use and read the Bible on my iPhone – their mobile version is sweet. Happy New Year!

NewSpring’s Christmas Opener
I’m a friend to and huge support of Lee McDerment. I think he’s the most gifted, creative and innovative worship leader in the country. I absolutely love when he leads worship (he’s the one on piano in the video). Here’s NewSpring’s video opener for their Christmas Eve services.

Merry Christmas Friends!
I know for many of you, dear friends in ministry, this is an extremely busy time of year. I pray that you would be able to enjoy Christmas, enjoy your families and get refreshed between Christmas and the new year. Get some rest, friends. I’m taking the rest of the week off.
Below is a picture of my precious family taken this week. I’d appreciate your continued prayers for my wife.

Free Christmas Motion Loops

After two years of creating quality content as eight20eight, they decided to change their name. Now known as Soul Refinery, they will continue to create quality media that they hope will ignite the heart and refine the soul.
To celebrate the change and launch of soulrefinery.com, they are giving away two free Christmas motion loops.
While you can find their content wherever quality videos are sold, they hope you’ll consider supporting us directly by visiting soulrefinery.com. There you’ll find their entire collection, including films that feature stars from hit TV shows as The Offce, Community, Reno 911, Saturday Night Life, and others.
They also now offer the entire motion loop and countdown library that they recently purchased from our friends at Eleven72 — revamped and available in HD!
Please visit their new site today and let them know if you have any questions or comments. CLICK HERE TO ADD FREE LOOPS TO YOUR CART
Jack Bauer Interrogates Santa
You must know that 24 is one of my all-time favorite TV shows and I think Jack Bauer is the man. Enjoy.
