Returning to the moon, going to Mars, and the timing of dreams

9 August, 2009 By Yvon Prehn

The moon landing memories that were a frequent theme in media stream surrounding the 40th anniversary of the moon landing revived interest and discussion about returning to space. The discussion appears grand and glorious. Frequent references are made to the human quest for adventure and exploration of the heavens.

The quest for adventure and exploration of the heavens does seem to be an innate part of human nature, but  as I listened to the arguments for the return to space, it seems though the desire might be valid, the timing is off. The inappropriate timing of our expectations, demands, and dreams can cause us no end of frustration and mistakes. I thought about this when these stories about returning to the moon brought to mind a little poem I've kept for over forty years. It is a poem that has often reminded me of our glorious future when death will be no more and the planets our playground. Let me share it and then what that has to do with the timing of dreams....

What is honestly unfortunate—communication channel pride

29 July, 2009 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

7-29-09 the quote below appeared in USA TODAY in the article: “Governments tap into the power of  Twitter.” Tom Watson, a Labor Party, blogger said:

There are some very bright, digitally enabled civil servants who unfortunately have to write these documents for their bosses. . . who still get their secretaries to print off their e-mails so they can read them.

This situation is can be repeated in every office, governmental, educational, religious, in probably every nation in the world. No disagreement there. But here is what does bother me, not only in this instance, but also how this applies to our technology interactions  in church communications. [Read more...]

We are unlimited in our potential to share the gospel message; what are we doing with it?

13 July, 2009 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

Charles Spurgeon, in his introduction to Lectures To My Students, wrote:

Should this publication succeed, I hope very soon to issue in similar form a work upon Commenting. . . . . I shall be obliged by any assistance rendered to the sale, for the price is unremunerative, and persons interested in our subjects are not numerous enough to secure a very large circulation; hence it is only by the kind aid of all appreciating friends that I shall be able to publish the rest of the contemplated series.

I often talk about the incredible opportunities available to us in communications today, but the the reality of that statement struck me as never before when I read Spurgeon's words.

If I want to communicate something today, I do. I can blog. I can write for my websites. I can write, design, typeset, create a book and publish it with lulu.com. I can record a podcast and create a video at my computer. In minutes I can make these communications available to the world.

Spurgeon did not have that luxury. [Read more...]
