Google IMAP = Win / Win

I live in Outlook and I really like the way it's laid out; maybe Microsoft conditioned me, whatever, it works for me. That being said, if you're an Outlook user, you can understand why I don't like the Gmail interface.... I've used it for a long time now but still it's lacking and it's rather slow.

So today I decided to give Gmail's IMAP service a shot. Now I love Gmail !!!

The setup was easy and they have nice screen shots.... and here's why I love my Gmail now:

• It is so much faster
• I can create folders and pull stuff into them - it uses Googles Tags but it works flawlessly
• I can drag things out of one account and into another
• It keeps my email on the server
• I can send from the Gmail account in Outlook

Here are the instructions if you want to try it for yourself.

Tippmann A5 Upgrades

I picked up a new Tank for my paintball gun today. It's a PMI carbon fiber tank. The carbon fiber is really lightweight and yet it holds 4500 PSI. Also this tank  holds 68 cubic inches of compressed air, so I should get roughly 900 shots off a tank of air. Compressed air is much more stable than C02 so the overall accuracy should improve greatly.

I also picked up a J&J Performance Ceramic coated 16" barrel not to long ago.

Here's some pix of the new tank and the new barrel on my gun. Can't wait to get out and shoot it  :)

iGoogle Web History

Look, I try to resist, but I can't. Google just keeps on churning out the right things, even before I ask for them. Web History is just one more thing makes me love Google. If you're using iGoogle your search history along with the links you've clicked on are now stored so you can retrieve them quickly. Ever been at home and wish you could find that thing you searched for at work, now you can and see the links you pulled out of the search return. Check it out.

Why I love GCC

The Christmas eve church service was simply amazing this year. If you didn't get to be there, you can see it online. Click here and then pick Let It Be Christmas at the bottom.... enjoy!

Calling All Atheists

....and anyone ever Marginalized by Christians and by Churches, I would just like to apologize and admit that I've certainly been more of the problem than the solution. I hope you'll find it in your hearts to forgive me this Christmas season.

This season of great joy is often the most bleak for those alone and hurting. It's my prayer for all reading this, that you'll find peace and comfort and hope this Christmas. And if you find yourself surrounded by those who love you, may you understand the greatness of this gift and value it as you should.

Peace

Beatles Christmas

We kicked off the "Let it Be...Christmas" series this weekend. It was a wonderful opening of our 2007 Christmas program. It was also the first weekend with our new Studer Boards which have amazing clarity. What an exciting way to bring the story of Jesus to a culture that has found church to be irrelevant to their lives. Mark Beeson gave a wonderful message about fall of man and the path of forgiveness. Bravo!

Here are some pix off my phone.... sorry about the quality:
