Free Bokeh Worship Backgrounds

So last night, when I was hoping to go to sleep, my mind turned into creative mode, and I created these “bokeh” style worship backgrounds. Thanks to @mediamilitia for the images. These are available in three different sizes for you worshiping needs: 1920×1080, 1366×768, 1280×1024. Links are below for the downloads. I would love to hear what you all think of the backgrounds, and I plan on having more available soon. Share these with all your friends! Also, if you would like a custom size, drop me a line on Twitter!

Life without Telecommunication

Well early this morning while I was running ProPresenter3 for Men Fraternity at Kearney eFree Church, I spilled my coffee. Now lets first say that this coffee was actually really good, so bummer point number 1. Secondly, my Blackberry Tour was right in the path of this coffee cups dumping of its wonderful coffee, bummer point 2. I instantly removed the battery and tried to dry off the phone, but it was already fried.

So no phone for me today and I won’t have my new one ’til tomorrow afternoon or whenever it arrives at work. THis is going to be a great time for me to learn how to not depend on my phone. For those of you that know me well, I use it ALOT. I have had months where I send and receive 22000 text messages, use loads of data, and am always on Twitter and Facebook.

Have you had to go without your phone or something you can’t seem to live with for a day or longer? I would love to hear your stories, because well all I have for communication is my Macbook and iPod touch. Thank God for internet! Lets hope the internet doesn’t go down like it did in a South Park episode recently. If it does, I know who to call ;) . Missed the episode? See it here.

Have a great day everyone!
