Video Update for Mad Church Disease

needed a little break from writing and got to thinking about you guys…GOTTA LOVE THE YOUTUBE FREEZE FRAME…goo. They all looked like this. ::sigh::

by the way, if anyone has any secrets as far as making their internal mic on mac book pros work a little better, please share. i know i’m kind of quiet naturally, but i was talking pretty loudly here! my input settings are maxed out in system prefs and i put the volume at 150% in iMovie…you’ll still have to turn it up to hear me….so, help a sista out?

    You look beautiful on the video, thanks again for praying for all of us, that was so sweet. Some of us are praying for you too. On a totally random and unrelated question, when you told Los “do the water diet, what is that? I am a fat ragamuffin now and I need all the “edge” I can get to compete with him :)

    Yeidy, thanks…

    The water diet…drink a full glass of water before, during, and after each meal. Timing is key. I did this and lost 40 lbs and have kept it off (for the most part). If you click on the weight loss category on the right, you can see my journey!

    I wonder if Anne is talking about the Master Lemonade diet which is used just to clean your system but not really effective to lose weight.

    I don’t know what made me think of that only that the ML diet has been used to “cheat” in diet competition because you will lose tons of weight so long as you don’t eat until after the weigh-in.

    BTW, the freeze frame is awesome. That should be your Facebook profile pic ;)

    In all seriousness, this book needs to be written. Anything I can do to help, call on me.

    Haha…nope…you can pretty much eat anything you want on the water diet. It is just designed to help curb your appetite…when we’re hungry, most of the time, we’re actually thirsty and just don’t realize it!

    It’s been fun to be part of the journey, in prayer and correspondence. Thanks for including us and inviting us in to the creative process – it is a privilege. You’re doing a great job, and are now in the home stretch, so be encouraged and finish well. Can’t wait to see the book in print and flying out of the shops.

    Way to go.
    I can’t imagine how that feels…to be almost completely done with something that has been in the works for several months now. Many congratulations to you.
    You seem very, very sweet. I like your little videos. Keep ’em coming.

    and thanks for the reminder to rest.

    Anne…to fix your mic I think my simple two step solution should work. 1. Sell said Macbook Pro on Craigslist or eBay. 2. Buy a PC. There…problem solved!

    ;)

    Oh, heavens no!!!

    Anne,

    I’m fairly new to your story, but I’m excited about the work you’ve done and the plans that God has for work. Please keep us posted.

    Fixing the microphone on your Mac iBook in less than 10 steps.
    1. Shut down computer.
    2. Put computer in it’s little Mac carrying case.
    3. Load yourself and your Mac into your Toyota Prius and drive to the nearest landfill.
    4. Park at the landfill.
    5. Get out of the car and begin swinging Mac carrying case over your head like a rodeo cowboy swinging a lariat or David with his sling as he faced Goliath. Make sure Mac iBook is in case.
    6. Release Mac carrying case strap and allow the Mac’s centrifugal force to carry the bag as close to the horizon as possible.
    7. Get back in your car.
    8. Drive to Best Buy.
    9. Purchase a PC and promise to never switch teams again.

    Didn’t realize so many PC people read this. I am going to have to start using IP blockers…

    Kenyon and Bryonm need to be spammed.

    Sorry for the capital letters.

    My husband, a video producer, says, “Tell her to get an external mic. That’s the only way to get quality audio.”

    I heart my mac!

    Now the husband has more suggestions. He says you are welcome to email him if you want tips on making good video podcasts. He’s got mad skills – and he’s super nice, too.

    I just stumbled onto your blog and your info about “Mad Church Disease.” Could not have arrived in my life at a more appropriate time. The end is about to arrive – and, after 30 years of serving in “the church” I think I’ve had it. Not with Jesus. Not with God. Not even with most of His people… but with “the system” we have created that seems to eat people alive. Thanks for the prayers and I will look forward to reading more from you!

    I’m so excited to read this book. If your authenticity comes through in the book like it does on this blog it’s going to be a great read.
