Double Exposure Photography
With all the cool photo apps on our smartphones, it seems like everybody is a creative photographer. However, these photo effects are all done in camera.

Why Your Church Needs a Mobile App
Most of us remember the saying,
“Here’s the church, here’s the steeple. Open the doors and look at all the people.”
Now, you could add,
“look at all the people on their phones.”
Let’s face it, mobile technology is everywhere you turn. Smartphones today give us traffic alerts and directions, deliver the latest news updates, send emergency weather warnings, entertain and educate us (and our kids) with games and so much more. Your church is made up of normal people, and normal people with iPhones, Android devices, or phones running Windows Phone 7 all have a new hobby – downloading and using apps.
You’ve probably seen some take out their phones when the pastor starts reading the Bible – or, like my church – the vast majority get their phones out. While at least one person in the service is probably playing Fruit Ninja, the rest are likely using their phones to look up Bible passages to read along in their preferred translation or even diving deeper with Bible study tools.
More than half a million apps have been created for Apple’s App Store alone. Mobile information access is not a fad.
So why wouldn’t you have an app for your church?
What Kind of Web Hosting Should You Use? [Flowchart]
If you’re trying to figure out where to host your personal blog or church website, chances are you’ve felt a little overwhelmed. You could just find the cheapest price, but that can be dangerous. Something I highly discourage. I’ve recently done some work on a website that’s hosted on a cheap host and it’s so slow! Now, back to the point of this post.
Should you look for dedicated hosting, cloud hosting, private cloud or managed cloud?
Confusing, right?
Even these terms will vary from host to host, depending on what kind of traffic you expect.
Hopefully, this easy to read flowchart can aid you in figuring out which type of hosting is right for you:
