iPad, i love you

 iPad, I love you. There are so many facets to your nature. 

Movie iPad: I never knew I could do it, but now when I need a break, I can watch Dr. Who on iPlayer from a rooftop in Camden Town. iPad, because you are so lightweight, thin and airy, I can watch movies on you anywhere there's a signal. You are sleek, and cause us to consume in ways we knew not how to, iPad. 

Sensei iPad: you are like a great karate instructor.  I can now swoosh through dozens of apps in a nano-second with the iPad claw technique. I am the stronger for it, and for working with you, iPad. 

Creation iPad: You have taught me a new way of writing, iPad.  With a very simple, bold style, discarding the need for grammar and correct spelling altogether. The early french cave-dwellers would love you, iPad-- just bashing out stuff on a screen must be so similar to the wall paintings they once created. You are instinctual and primal, iPad. 

 

Planet Aslan

At Bath City church. Conference on the prophetic.

Enjoying it with tons of Grace.

A lot of times I get to these things and get really cynical. 'Been to many conferences and it's usually the same old deal: lots of worship, visions, basic teaching on how to speak prophetic words.

But what's cool about this one is it is more of a school, where there is practical application and you get to know one another.

In the middle of all this I am going deep with a book called Planet Narnia, about CS Lewis' medieval tendencies and the interplanetary, cosmological depth of the Narnian Chronicles.

Lewis had great vision- the very planets sing in Narnia!

Greater vision + the prophetic is a great way to kill off cynicism, which was the first personal word a fellow conference-goer gave me the other day.

How to Combat the Lizard Brain

The last few months I've been enlightened by the books of Seth Godin. His work is really speaking to me, as I combat the Lizard Brain and work to ship my films on a timely basis. Since Lakeland twin films are overdue, the push from Seth is helping the delivery.  

Another author/teacher I've been listening to is Victor Lorenzo, who although controversial in his views toward the formal church, is just brilliant in combatting the day to day battles of life.  You can find some podcasts of his here. 

It takes a Village, and some popcorn

Some friends and I watched sequences from my Lakeland Film last night. Big lesson: it takes a village to make a film. Yeah I've got my artistic vision that does lead and inform the film, but it's the audience that matters, ultimately.

Being that revival culture is not always easy to comprehend, it is taking some time to communicate concepts like being slain in the Spirit, the ecstatic tangible presence of God, getting drunk in the Spirit in a way that a wider audience can get it.

But we'll get there.
