Clinging to the Face of a Sand Grain

At times it is healthy to pull back a bit and get a new perspective on life.

At this point our “mighty” Sun is practically invisible. Think about your dreams. Fears. Successes. Failures. They’re not likely to register a blip. But shouldn’t this realization also free us? God created everything we see and everything we don’t see. God also knows—and loves—each one of us. Our lives and decisions matter deeply—just not in the way we normally think.

Easter Sunday Videos

The goal of my latest video project is to show people a snapshot of life as a follower of Jesus. What is prayer? What is grace? How are relationships impacted by the gospel? How is God’s Word constantly changing my thinking? Growth is a process; the Christian life is one of constant repentance and perseverance. I hoped to convey these ideas in the videos. My subjects are real people from my church community and more importantly, they are friends. I’m happy to be able to tell their stories.

Visually, I drew inspiration from The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On, an elegant and simple video. I thought I could realistically pull it off with my basic setup. Can you spot the similarities? I made production mistakes too, of course. Some clips suffered from lack of light, causing noise in the darks. This problem was especially evident in the second video. But it was a great learning experience.

Edward R. Murrow on TV

Edward R. Murrow on the medium of television, in a 1958 speech:

This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance and indifference. This weapon of television could be useful.

How is the battle going in this day and age?
