The Website That Just Won’t Die

OK, I really should be too embarrassed to show this to anyone – but hey, Sunday’s sermon was on being ‘real’ so here it is… I just found out that one of my very first websites is STILL out there on the web, even thought it should have died YEARS ago! I created this page back around 1996, and last updated a few links in 1998 when I started at Village Church, even though I had ceased to use the site having my own domain by then, but I was still using the dial up service. I haven’t touched this site since 1998! The company I was with, GNN.com was bought out by Flash.net, later by Prodigy, and then… I can’t even remember now. Anyway, I dropped the dial up service when it was still Flash.net, and my personal home page was http://www.flash.net/~kdbweb Tonight, following a strange train of thought (a common practise of mine) I was wishing I still had the web page I had made about my experience in open heart surgery years ago. On a whim, I typed in the old URL and PRESTO! My old webpage appeared! And yes, so did the heart surgery story. I…

Thought this video was pretty cool. Wish I knew how to download a video from YouTube, but below is the link. MAKE SURE YOUR VOLUME IS UP! ARE YOU READY?!? This is an awesome video.

Subscribe to Kidologist dot Com!

Welcome to my blog! I am often asked how to SUBSCRIBE to my blog. There are two EASY options. 1) Get my posts in your e-mail just send an e-mail to: updates @ kidologist.com You will be added to the list. Pictures are included in the e-mail as imbedded images you can see if you are online, but they are not attachments. 2) OR, if you are a serious blog reader, is to set up a free BLOGLINES account and read all your blogs on one easy webpage where you can see what blogs have new posts and read them right in bloglines, or click to open any blog in a new window. I find this the best way to read blogs since I can save a blog I come across and not have to worry about remembering it or forgetting to check it again someday if it is of minor interest to me. To subscribe to Kidologist.com in bloglines you’ll need my RSS FEED address, which is: https://kidologist.com/pkblog/atom.xml 3) Of course, you can always do both. :) Let me encourage you to use the comments, it is always nice to hear from friends and family (or complete strangers) via…

Introducing the Senior Pastor Cam!

At our pastors/elders planning meeting last week, we came up with a great idea that is sure to sweep the country! As our church is growing, we are talking about the options for handling growth and the possibility of a video-venue service – live music/etc. in the gym and then the message from the pastor on screen from sanctuary. (Just in discussion mode, VCBers, no set plans yet) ANYWAY, someone mentioned that to make the video sermon enjoyable to watch, it would be important to offer several different camera angles rather than just one static camera showing one boring view from the back. THATS WHEN IT HIT ME! I blurted out, “THE DAVE CAM!” I slipped out to our Kids Church backstage and retrieved a helmet mounted webcam that I hooked up several years ago for Kids Church (where what/who I looked at appeared on big screen!) and returned to the serious pastor/elder meeting and plopped it on my boss’s head. Pastor Dave modeling the prototype “Dave Cam” I tried to convince the group that this was a fantastic idea! Not only would it create a great alternative view of the service, but it would provide a view of the…
