Re: Free iTunes Card for Favorite Worship Song

Well Strangely enough it seems my wife has the same favorite song as I do. If you've not heard Beautiful Scandalous Night definitely check it out. My guess would be those time at Young Life camp definitely had an impact on making this a favorite. Check it out here http://lala.com/zM8I

Re: Using your phone during church?!?

Mark Maynard — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:41:32 -0000

I almost exclusively use my Windows Mobile smartphone (Touch Pro)when at church. I have over 10 translations included as well as commentary and concordance. I dare say I have more "biblical material" at my fingertips than anybody else in the service. I get a few "looks" from some people but when I get an oppurtunity I always explain this "phone" is not only my bible, bookstore, worship device, video viewing device and communication device as well as GPS. It is only natural for me to use it for studying the Word of God when I use it for everything else too.

My all time favorite is Beautiful Scandalous Night. Young Life had me hooked on that one years ago, but most people haven't heard of it!

Alright... There's a praise song I learned from the "Exit 10" praise band (who were based out of Louie Giglio's "7:22" service in the ATL, back in the early 2000s) when they played at Palma Sola, that has apparently been released by Chris Tomlin. It's called "Alle," but I haven't hear it done by him yet. I only know it from when it was performed it at our church. Here's the chords...

Here's how it sounds when performed...

We sang it with a male lead/female echo... and then vice versa. It was pretty awesome. :)

I'll look for it on the CD I bought waaaaay back when. I like that version better than the one I attached...

Well I know that it won't be the same as yours, but it's a song called "Nothing" by a writer named Jeff Bourque. One of the best contemplative response type songs that I've ever heard/used in a worship setting.

Also, if you can find it anywhere, the album "The Worship Room" by Chad and Jess Cates is awesome.

Re: MagicJack Updates

Paul — Thu, 07 May 2009 12:44:59 -0000

I bought a magic jack and I am very happy with it. I replaced my $45.00 per month cable phone with this little device and my phone bill is $20.00 per year now. It is also my fax # as well saving me even more. The savings are now paying my high speed internet bill. As if that wasn't good enough, I take it with me to my second home and was not only able to cut that phone bill, but it gives me one phone # whether I am home in NY or Pa. I really can't say enough about it.

Re: Florida Church IT Roundtable

Derek, I would like to attend the Roundtable, as we at Shelby have been involved since the very first one at Granger. I would like to attend as a participant and not a vendor, and wanted to know if this was possible. Please let me know and I will get registered as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance,

Yes, I definitely meant to put a link to the company, some reason WP isn't wanting to play nicely.

Very nice feature... but it doesn't work with IE6 (and maybe with other browsers).
You can use the direct url of the page!
Follow these steps:
1) change your browser's user agent string (you can use something like "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)"), close the browser and reopen it in order the change to take effect. From now your browser will be identified as IE7
2) Log in to Gmail with your account, et voilà, "Last account activity" is available on the bottom of the page. You click it and the popup opens. Save the url of this page, which will work on all browsers, then undo the changes you made to the user agent string of IE6 and restart the browser.
When you are logged onto Gmail and you need the "Last account activity" page, simply use the url you previously saved.

Yeah man, we use Shelby. Its always great to find another ShelbyUser, especially one that blogs! I'm the database manager at our church. And I wish I was going to the ISC. I went 2 years ago, but didnt get to capitalize on the networking aspect. I would definitely love to go again.

Re: Open Source Church (Part 1)

Derek — Thu, 29 May 2008 10:24:29 -0000

Matthew,

You're getting ahead of me, but good stuff nonetheless. That's my next task to survey the open source (or free) software that everyone is using and try to compile an ongoing list of good worthwhile tools and programs. I'm like you and use Google Apps throughout but haven't tried a lot of the others you mentioned, learning stuff already.

Re: Open Source Church (Part 1)

Matthew Irvine — Thu, 29 May 2008 02:25:16 -0000

I don't know about categories, but we're using a lot of open source (or otherwise free) software. Our network gateway is open source, running on a Linux distro. It's beautiful. We make extensive use of Google Apps, which isn't technically open source, but it is free. I use Clonezilla, an open source hard drive cloning and workstation deployment app. I'm using Spiceworks (ad supported, again not technically open source) for my HelpDesk and network inventory solution. I use Ethereal for sniffing out packets. For Web stuff, I deploy a number of open source packages like Moodle, ModX CMS, Joomla, etc. I'm a big fan of open source software, but I can't use it exclusively.

Excellent post Derek... just excellent. It's definitely an awesome community (or ocean) to be involved in.
