Mid-Week Service Friday (Tomorrow) at 7 PM.


The Mid-Week Lenten service, which did not go out on Wednesday, will be on Friday at 7 PM Central. More below.

I pushed 30 orders of The King James Version out the door today, metaphorically speaking. Amazon has a good method of getting author's copies out quickly. All these are the usual suspects (That is from Casablanca - "Round up the usual suspects.")

That is not the complete lists, so there will be more tomorrow, God willing. We had two large gifts specifically for the KJV Project, so everyone is covered and then some.

RESI after Vimeo

Vimeo was a good transition after Ustream, which finally kicked us under the bus, because they were prehistoric in video services, picking it up from the founders.

That was push-button streaming, very easy for us to do.

Vimeo used to be a quality producer but they seem to be aiming at only the big customers. We will use them a little longer until we have the RESI hardware sorted out.

I learned about the RESI hardware first, and I think they will be good about avoiding twirlies and blackouts. 

The Logitech camera was not even close to doing the job, so I am looking at an HDMI video camera whose signal can be converted into SDI for the RESI encoder. HDMI cameras start at $500-600 and we already have the money. The converter is about $70. I am not buying anything until the technology men in the congregation discuss it. One member is quite familiar with the HDMI video camera, which his wife uses for her work. Until today I did not know about HDMI video cameras.

Another benefit of RESI is that they will send the live video to the blog, using the embed code. They will also send it LIVE to YouTube and Facebook at the same time. That will make it easier for some people to see it live, and we will have two storage places. There is also a RESI library function, which we will use.

I did not know IBM/Ustream would force us into the 21st century, but I am glad this happened. 

Thank you, everyone for helping get the complete KJV book published, for your encouragement and cooperation.
