Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there will it lie

When I see this, I’m embarrassed at myself for every excuse I’ve ever made in life. This dude is going hard and he’s got it harder than most of us but he’s not letting that get in the way. Wow.

Pretty funny, huh?

Steve Jobs gives a commencement address at Stanford about dropping out of college. A bit long (at 15 minutes), but an excellent video to watch. Check it out:

YouVersion for webOS is out! Here’s some important information about the YouVersion Bible app for webOS and a promotion that Palm is running that could help earn Youversion some extra funding for improving not only webOS but also other mobile Bible apps. From Scott Magdalein, LifeChurch.tv project manager below…

YouVersion has a huge opportunity to make serious waves in the WebOS space in the month of June…with your help. Right now Palm is running a contest to see who can pull in the most downloads before June 30. It’s been running for a few months already so we’re late to the game, but I think with your help we’ll be able to bump up into the top 21 apps range. The prize money we win will go back into development of our mobile platforms to stretch the reach of the Bible to more and more people.

What You Can Do
The best thing you can do to help YouVersion rise in the ranks is to SHARE! Here are some ideas for ways to share YouVersion with your friends (Palm users and everyone else, too).

• Tweet it or post it to Facebook – Just a simple tweet like, “YouVersion’s Bible app for Palm Pre & Pixi is competing for $100,000 in Palm’s Hot Apps contest at http://palmhotapps.com/details.jsp?packageid=com.youversion.palm! Download it now to help it win!” … or something. Feel free to shorten that URL.
• Blog it – If you’re the blogging type, write a quick post telling your faithful readers how much you enjoy the YouVersion Bible app for Palm and link them directly to the app at http://palmhotapps.com/details.jsp?packageid=com.youversion.palm.
• Suggest it to friends on Facebook by sharing our YouVersion Facebook page with them – http://facebook.com/youversion
• Good ol’ email! – Send the link (http://palmhotapps.com/details.jsp?packageid=com.youversion.palm) to your friends that would be interested. Let them know that all they have to do is download the app for FREE to help support the GLOBAL distribution of FREE Bibles!
• YouTube – For you brave video-friendly folks, record a YouTube video of yourself and your YouVersion Bible app on Palm. Video is powerful and can be really compelling.

When you do any of these things (or ALL of them!) send me a link to your post or blog or tweet or video, and YouVersion will share with the rest of the YouVersion community to help spread the word. To keep up with the progress of how the YouVersion app is climbing in the ranks, go to http://palmhotapps.com/index.jsp (right now we’re ranked 171 in the free section).

So, if you or someone you know is using a webOS device (palm pre, pre plus, pixi, or pixi plus), download it now AND also let your friends know. Send them to this page to get the link: http://samuelfebres.com/blog/webosbible or give them this bit.ly link: http://bit.ly/webosbibleapp

The competition ends June 30th. Let’s go! Let’s get the most downloads possible, and win $10,000 or even $100,000 for YouVersion mobile app development!

Yesterday, as I was over at a friend’s house, a small bird flew into his sunroom and was trying desperately to get out. It kept flying into the glass windows, not knowing or understanding why it could not get through.

It was quite sad really. As we tried to round it up and get it to fly outside, the poor thing started to look exasperated and so tired. He was breathing heavier than I had ever seen a bird breathe before. Angel finally caught it, took it outside, and held out his hand outside so that it could fly away but it didn’t.

I think it was so scared and so tired, that it could no longer move. For a while it sat with its eyes closed and just heaving with its beak open.

We decided that it was probably thirsty, so I turned out a water hose and got my hands wet. I went up to the bird and allowed some water to drop into its mouth and the bird closed its beak and swallowed. This was what it needed. I gave it some more water dripped from my pinky and it kept drinking. His eyes re-opened already and his breathing seemed to grow less rapid and normal.

I decided to go inside and grab a small cup of water to make it easier to drink water and before I knew it, he had flown away.

I’m sure this bird was terrified of these humans that were coming after it, seemingly to attack it or hurt it. When we grabbed it, it was carried outside and we waited for it to fly away. We gave it water, which helped to restore it, and when it was ready, it flew away.

I think we can be like that with GOD sometimes. The very thing we need, is the very thing we are terribly frightened of and fight so hard against, doing our best to get away from it. The thing is, He doesn’t come to kill us or harm us, but to help us out of circumstance or situation we’re in, to give us water, and help us to fly. How much better would it be if we just let Him carry us to where we need to go instead of resisting Him?

If you’ve ever been Rick-rolled, and by now, who hasn’t, then you should enjoy this. If you haven’t… this might not make a whole lot of sense, but it should help a little.

You see it on twitter, Facebook, any other online destination that semi-matter. The world isn’t perfect and full of so many problems. Oil spills in the gulf, fighting in Jamaica, a Gizmodo editor’s house door bashed in by police because he paid $5,000 for and broke a stolen prototype 4G iphone. So many issues, that sometimes it’s hard to get the word out to everyone. We NEED to get the word out. But there are so many great causes to support online, how can we limit ourselves to just one or two or even three at a time? There are just way too many causes that need our support.

I have a solution for you. Using the power of the twibbon, a twitter ribbon (available for Facebook as well), you can now support ALL the wonderful causes in the world with just one twibbon.

With this twibbon, you can let the world know that you truly care and support their cause, because you support ALL causes. Not only that, but you can encourage your friends to do the same. So what are you waiting for?! Support everything now!

Add a twibbon to your twitter or Facebook account.

With the advance in technology, these soldiors could not tell the man was carrying a camera?

“It’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle.”

Despicable. I cannot think of anything else to say not only for the actions, but for the attitudes and contempt for life. I did not see a battle in this video. I saw a massacre.
