What a ripper billboard

Monday, March 20th, 2006

Driving from the Gold Coast to Brisbane I see a billboard placed strategically across from the Beenleigh Tavern by local Christians. The sign says “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Read Your Bible”. This last month the sign has been supplemented by another billboard, advertising clothes. What do you think?

My sister, living in Waimate in the South Island, New Zealand, took this photograph of a tornado passing by. It’s taken through Heather’s dining room window.

Moon Landing Mission Visuals from Midnight Oil

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

Midnight Oil Productions, the collaborative efforts of Jason Moore and Len Wilson, has released their freebie of the month. It’s an image designed for worship contexts, featuring the words, “Made For A Mission”, with a moon landing graphic in the background. The free download comes as a collection of files in PSD format (Photoshop) with editable layers, and in four Bitmap files suitable for blank background, teaching background, song background and theme slide.

A pdf file gives four ideas for use: 40 Days of Purpose, Calling, Dreams and Transformation, complete with Scriptural references.

They suggest using a montage of astronauts preparing for their mission from Apollo 13, as well as using music such as “Walking on the Moon” by the Police.

The font used in the PSD file is Federation Starfleet, which can be downloaded free from a number of sites.
