Christmas Experiment

This is a bit of a social experiment, so feel free to pass on it, but I wanted to see what the real power of social networking is.

If you are reading this you are either a follower on Twitter or one of my 500+ friends on Facebook.

As many of you know I do a lot with media at my church. My biggest problem is that the machine that I do most of my "homework" on, an ancient Powerbook G4 867Mhz has finally decided to kick the bucket. I unfortunately do not have the liquidity at the moment to outright purchase a new machine. As I do not have a sufficiently fast machine to do videos and audio at home, the quality of the work I do suffers. 

So what I have done is create an account on Bestbuy.com for what is called a Pitch-In Card. What I am doing is I will be adding funds to this card as a placeholder to purchase a new Macbook Pro that will be dedicated to media work. If you feel led to help, the minimum contribution is $5, but you can donate as much or as little as you like. you can find the card on Bestbuy.com under Gifts, and you can find it by searching my name, or by following the link I will supply and searching my name.

This machine will ultimately allow me to increase the scope of both this blog as well as make all of the media that we do through First Baptist to reach a new level of concurrancy and quality!

As I said this is an experiment, and know that the funds will be held until such time as I can purchase a machine that will fit the needs of my ministry within the church!

I appreciate all of you looking at this and passing it on, because even if you do not donate to me, you can use this yourself to create cards for birthdays and such!



Thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
