Ok, that might be a bit of an overstatment. But there was big space news this weekend. SpaceX did manage to get the boosters to seperate successfully ( after 3 failed attempts) and will go down in the history books as the first private company to make it to space. It seems NASA has some compitition. Congrat to the SpaceX Team.
You can read more about it and check out some pix over at the Wired Blog. Now you know where all those paypal fees went…
Check out the video highlights below.
The next step will be for congress to contract with them to efficently double the cost of the space program. It worked for the millitary!
Ok, ok, that was cheap. err perhaps that was a poor choice of words…..

Relationship Blogging – Rich Tatum
This afternoon, I attended an interesting session about Relationship Blogging by Rich Tatum of http://tatumweb.com/blog/. He had some good summary’s. He talked about Dave Winer, Scoble and a few other well know bloggers. (Glad to see the inside looking out and recognizing ideas that work. Lets face it, Thats often not the case in Ministry). Here is a few bullet points.
Blogs need to be about :
- transparency
- authenticy
- conversation
- connections
- personal
- intimate
Why are Blogs different different :
- Personally Written, rarely vetted
- often raw, emotional, and assertive
- More Like letters than articles
- Occasional and timely
- Controversy friendly
He followed the relationship of a number of bloggers to show how relationships are built and dialogue occurs.

Have you ever wondered how many people have lived throughout time? It’s a difficult process, but the Population Reference Bureau have at least given their best guesstimate. 106,456,367,669 is probably a little high considering the age of this earth, but who knows, there have been a lot of baby’s born throughout time. It’s amazing to me to know that God knows every hair and has a purpose and a love for every single one. Heaven is going to be a big place even if only a fraction make it. It’s going to be an awesome place with many people to talk with. Think of all the different people throughout the ages you will get to meet and talk with learning first hand what it was like during their time on earth. I hope and pray that all who read this post now and into the future will be in heaven some day. If you are wondering how to get to heaven, click on this link to enroll in free bible studies.

Whether you believe Global Warming is real or not. If you are a Christian though then you should be aware that God created this earth and that we are probably not doing our best at taking care of it. ( Genesis 2:15)
Several months ago a PBS Special with Bill Moyer presented a series on the environment and the connection to the evangelical movement. It’s called “Is God Green”. You can watch the entire series online as well as many other closely related topics on the environment. I’m very impressed with the coverage and material that Bill Moyer documented. Even though some love to politically take sides based on such environmental issues, this series though takes a different approach strictly from a Christian perspective.
