RUMOR: AT&T to offer 3G via internet

Just read this over at www.modmyi.com:

Late last night our friends at Apple Insider reported that AT&T customers who reside in poor service areas may soon have the option to pay $20 to obtain unlimited calling over 3G using their own Internet access…

Man that would be awesome! But with AT&T already being so expensive there is no way I could afford another $20 a month.

Introducing YouVersion Live

As you know if you’ve been reading my blog or know anything about me, I LOVE technology.  I am a huge fan of www.youversion.com. If you have never heard of it or used it you’re missing out.  As the community of user continues to grow you have access to God’s word but also many people’s different views of scripture. They can share a video, picture, link or text about a verse that they think relates to that verse.  Definitely go sign up and add me as a friend. My name is TIMLEM on youversion.

Now this next part really excites me.  YouVersion announced yesterday that they are introducing a new feature called YouVersion Live.  This will enable churches/conferences to share bible verses/notes live with people using their mobile device or laptop.  It also enables them to particpate by answering polls and other interactive features.  I know it will be a while before we get to this point (especially in SouthWest Virginia) but imagine a day when we no longer have to print bulletins instead we pull out our phones and have access to the notes and scripture. I already do this using Evernote on my iPhone during church.  Rather than taking notes on some piece of paper and going home and losing that piece of paper (I hate keeping up with paper – I learned that bad habit from Greg) I can just take notes in Evernote and then when I think what was that verse Jimmie mentioned last year in that message about pain, I can just search for it and find it instantly. (longest sentence I’ve ever written)

Anyways, see the video below for a sneak peak from ChurchCrunch.com:

Taking care of the customer

I love it when companies understand it’s all about the customer.  I could go all spiritual here and say the Church needs to be all about Jesus and reaching the people he dah dah dah, but I won’t.

I just recieved this from Netflix:

Netflix Email

So I’ll enjoy my %3 off my bill and once again sing praises of Netflix and how awesome they are.  I love being a Netflix member!

What other companies have you seen that go out of their way to take care of the customer?

Have you experienced or seen true poverty

Watch this video if you can handle it. If your heart doesn’t break and you don’t feel motivated to do something then I’d check the status of your heart. I am praying that one day our culture will wake up to all the easily curable problems humans are facing all over this world and will step it up.  I am thankful for Bono and his work and others who have great influence and are using it for something other than making money.

We have been sponsoring a child through compassion ever since I heard a girl’s testimony who a compassion child and the difference it made in her life. Please if you can afford $30 a month sign up below.
