For the first list of Christmas, I offer here to you: One Animoto Video (of Scrooge’s New Vision).
Check back over the next twelve days for the rest of the lists.

John Cobb has shared his work at Laity Lodge several times. His work is incredibly powerful. I wanted to play around with Animoto.com and thought I’d return to his work to see what happened. I’ve got ideas on how to tweak the video process quite a bit, but for now, this is a good first draft of a video. (The whole thing took me 30 minutes. Sweet!)
Also, I should give hattips where they are due. I first learned about Animoto from Merrie Destefano, and the French guys at the Global Christian Internet Alliance showed me how to use it well.
Fill Your Hearts With Joy and Gladness
August 5th, 2008 — inspiring
Just a reminder of what many of us have in common (from the English hymn by Timothy Dudley-Smith):
Fill your hearts with joy and gladness,
peace and plenty crown your days;
love his laws, declare his judgments,
walk in all his words and ways;
he the Lord and we his children–
praise the Lord, all people, praise!
Now you can sing those words to yourself while you watch along with Beaker.

One of the Greatest Theologians of the Century Talks about Writing

At Laity Lodge, we’ve had a close connection to J. I. Packer for many years. Every year, I get the chance to hear this man speak and open the Scripture. At first, his style seemed dry to me, but gradually I came to appreciate the incredible wisdom he has. One Laity Lodge director described listening to Packer as being something akin to drinking from a firehose.
In the first ever posted Laity Lodge video, here’s J. I. Packer describing his calling to write. (I’d be curious what you think of the video, too.)
