We have made it to Chiang Mai, Thailand!  This is where ELIC hosts the Annual Thailand Conference for all its teachers and leaders in southeast Asia.  It’s a time of encouragement, training, worship, and relaxing before heading into the next semester.  I, for one, am incredibly honored and blessed to be here; and see and [...]

36 hours after my family celebrated Christmas, I had the privilege of traveling to Penza, Russia with SpokenFor (A non-profit organization helping orphans in Russia and around the world) and an incredible team of 59 people.

(Fun back story:  Dawson McAllister was the founder [...]

But, the main new feature I want to highlight is the Props layer.  This layer lets you import graphics/logos…etc into the software, and it sits on top of all other media, until you [...]

Stephen Proctor, Brad Weston and I had some fun outside NewLifeChurch in Little Rock, Arkansas.  I mean…why not?!  Giant building…a few projectors…
