[Video] Kids Explain Cloud Computing

February 18, 2011 in Media, Random with 0 Comments

If you’ve recently started reading this blog, you should probably know that I usually (but not always) break from the normal worship and spiritual related topics on Fridays and post other stuff. A funny or creative or informative video or other cool thing I’ve run across on the Internet.

This week, I ran across this cool video of kids talking about cloud computing. It’s quite well done and actually quite informative. If you’re still not sure what the “cloud” is, take a look at it. If you are an old pro at the “cloud”, it’s a good idea to watch it anyway. The insights and perspectives have bearing on the future of life and ministry (see, there is a spiritual/worship connection).

P.S. I previously wrote about the Dropbox service and how great it is. Check that post out here. If you’re not using Dropbox, you should consider it. Use this link to sign up for free, and we’ll both get a space bonus.

What is worship…really?

One of the things that’s not clearly spelled out step by step in the Bible is how to worship. For us in North America, that’s tough because we like to have processes and procedures clearly spelled out. If we do this, then this will happen.

As a result, we’ve created some definitions and mythos about worship that may not entirely capture the fullness of what it is. We read the desire of God that we express our love, devotion, gratitude, thanksgiving, and appreciation through worship to Him alone, but we don’t always grasp the expansive nature of that.

Despite not giving us a step-by-step list of how exactly to worship, the Bible does give us a ton of insight into the actions and attitudes of acceptable worship offered to the Creator of the Universe and Redeemer of our lives.

I came across this over at ExperiencingWorship.com. It’s a thorough review of the different Hebrew and Greek words used in the writing the Old and New Testaments as it relates to worship, praise, and so forth.

If you’ve never thought about that, check it out. It’s incredibly enlightening. If you are familiar with some of this, take a moment to reconsider how these things are played out in your life.

Go here to read the article. This is one you’ll probably want to print, save, bookmark, share, whatever.

How are you worshipping?
