Ok, I’ve had a lot of people email me links to this video as (and I would agree) its a very pertinent to the ministry we do.  Check out the video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIFYPQjYhv8 or below:

One of the people sent this video link to both Krista & I and here was Krista’s reply back to them:

I know!  That’s why God has called us to do what we do!  Courtney is creating virtual interactive prayer walking websites, programming systems to send out evangelistic video’s on mobile phones, putting together a video on how a girl in Germany accepted the Lord by looking at our Huntersville NC home church website (that he help create) and listening to their sermon podcasts, and helping M’s secure data, information and emails in N Africa. (just a glimpse of our life this week)

I use Twitter and Facebook to connect with my friends
I use RecipeZaar to figure out what to make for dinner
I use Sparkpeople to lose weight
I use LiveMocha to learn German
All of these are social networking sites that I am on daily!

So skype me

Need your Help – Communications Survey

Sep 4, 2009   //   by Courtney   //   eDOT Related, Personal Life, Roes Updates  //  No Comments

Remember the fax machine (we actually still have one in the office)?  Remember telegrams (don’t admit it or if you do, say you saw it in a movie once)? Krista and I have been looking at how we communicate with the people who are interested in our ministry and our lives.  There are two major parts to good communication – the content and the method.

We want to make sure we are communicating what it is you want to know.  If we’re telling you about the technical details of an eDOT project and you want to know how Alex is doing – we’re not doing a good job of communicating.

On the other hand, if we are telling you about what it is you want to know but are using a communication method that you don’t use or use infrequently (like sending everyone faxes or telegrams), then you won’t receive the information and that’s not good communication either.

So would you help us out?  Take just a few minutes and fill out our Communication Survey .  It only take about 5-7 minutes (or if you want to, you can take longer) but knowing this information will really help us in making sure we are as effective in communicating as we can be.  Your info is greatly appreciated!!

Videos & Scooters

Ok, someone made a comment that they hoped that my recent blogs of making videos and riding on scooters wouldn’t get combined.  Something about fear for my personal safety or something.  I’m not sure they know me well enough to know that that’s just asking me to do something.  So, Kris, for your viewing pleasure – here’s my RIDE home video (on a scooter)  -  Please don’t watch if you are my mother or you get motion-sickness or both!
