Nashville, Tennessee's, Fellowship Bible Church is well known for its size and also its "Spot," a place where members can access computer stations or the WiFi connection. However, going wireless at the "Spot" was a double-edged sword. Any person on the computers or toting a laptop could access any Web site or online program, allowing possible problems to occur, such as email spamming, cyber-bullying, and members being temped to look at inappropriate material. Fellowship Bible Church solved these challenges using new filtering software. Ethershield, from InternetSafety.com, allows managers to block 35 categories of Web sites, as well as instant messaging applications, chat rooms, and peer-to-peer file sharing programs.

Summer is a season of kicking back and enjoying the sun and the sand. So how should teens pass the lazy days of summer? Some youth workers may seek an alternative to mindless popcorn films. Smaller, independent movies can provide substance even amid the silliest of summers. What’s one inventive programming possibility? Recreate your own blockbusters. When all the videotapes in their store are erased, Jack Black and Mos Def decide to recreate famous films in Be Kind Rewind. This relaxed comedy celebrates filmmaking as a communal project.

I love my cell phone, my video iPod, my laptop, my Internet connection and all the technology that makes them work. I love that I’m constantly in contact with friends, family and colleagues, that I can take my work with me wherever I go, and I never lack for entertainment. Still, there are times when I crave the solitude of being out of touch so I can be lost in my own thoughts for an hour or two.

I recently had the privilege of speaking to a group of teen girls at a Christian recovery center for youth coming out of addiction. I say it was a privilege because I may have been ministered to just as much as they, if not more. I have to admit I was a little intimidated when I first walked into the room. It wasn’t that I hadn’t prepared, but I was thinking, “What can I say as a man to speak into the hearts of these young women?”
