If you were stranded on a desert island what book of the Bible would you bring with you and why?
I finally chose Psalms. Laurie chose James or Isaiah.
Leave your comments below. You can even do it annonymously if you must.

From the Chris Bell campaign:

Looking for a good honest place for movie reviews? Check out my friends the Mungles at Mungleshow.com.
Matt’s an 89.7 Power FM veteran and he still hosts an indie Christian show that’s broadcast to various stations around the country as well as online and on podcast.
He and his wife have also begun an audio and video podcast for their weekly movie reviews.
Good stuff. Drop him a line and subscribe to the podcast.

We had another great Lighthouse21 brainstorming session tonight.
Met at Rockfish, enjoyed some great conversation and just discussing the future.
We’re moving full speed ahead with starting the ministry again, mainly with an Internet presence to begin with.
We’ll be streaming programing 24/7 with music and several different shows.
I’m psyched.
We’re looking at doing a varied music station with your typical Christian bands as well as those not so typical Christian bands. The ones that diss the labels, but are still out there challenging our faith. Faith-based radio — not Christian label radio.
What bands/music would you want to hear on it? U2, Coldplay, Kanye West, R.E.M.?
We may have a special house/techno show. We’ll have movie reviews from our buddies over at Spin 180 and more.
We’re also about to kick the video show back into full production and we’ll be streaming our video show online as well.
It’s going to be a blast!
Did I tell you I’m psyched?
Watch the progression over at Lighthouse21.com.
And if you’re interested in sponsorship of the radio station or video show, give me a shout. We’d love to talk with you about your organization and sponsoring Lighthouse21.com.

Today’s assignment, what would the soundtrack to your life be?

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

Here’s how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.

I’ve had some Mac fans e-mail me bragging that at least their laptop batteries don’t blow up. Better check on that.
Apple announced a recall of a number of laptop batteries today as well.
Both Dell and Apple’s batteries were manufactured by electronic giant Sony.
Sony has also made batteries for Toshiba and Fujitsu. While I’m sure not hoping my Toshiba battery explodes on me, I do need mine replaced if Toshiba plans to follow suit.
