UB In Miniature

I was given access to the roof of Central Tower in downtown UB today. I spent about an hour taking various shots of Ulaanbaatar. I also applied some “tilt-shift” effects to the images to create the illusion of miniatures. The images are on my Flicker page.

Together Through The Bible Returns

Tom on the Together Through The Bible SetAfter being off the air for a few months because of my medical leave, my weekly Bible teaching program, Together Through The Bible is returning to air. Today we recorded eight episodes of the 26 episodes planned for the 2009-2010 season.

I’m especially proud of the new set for the program, single-handedly created by Eagle TV’s Art Director, Ganbataar. What you’re seeing in the picture is nothing more than styrofoam and glue with some granuals mixed it for texture. It took Ganbataar a couple of weeks to put everything together. He did an amazing job.

You can see a larger image of the set on my Flickr page by clicking here.

Pastor-to-Pastor Podcast

Today I am the guest for the PreachItTeachIt.org podcast. Our discussion revolved around missions, Mongolia, and the unique challenges Mongolian culture poses for missionaries.

Not Quite Arizona, But Welcome

Not Quite ArizonaAn unusual sunrise in Ulaanbaatar this morning. Color! It was -21 F and about 8:35am when I took the shot from the balcony of our apartment. This image has been tweaked to rid the effects of the usual air pollution, which surprisingly, was far less than normal. Also welcome!

Mongolia-Web Hacked

Mongolia-Web.com, one of the leading English sites about news in Mongolia, fell victim to Islamic hackers today.

Great Times

It can be very theraputic looking at old photos. Also old videos.

This is from our 2006 trip to Terelj with the Eagle TV staff for the annual retreat. One of the news editors put this together for us. It’s got a few hilarious moments: Our girls doing sumo, Whitney “taking down” my assistant. The last half of the video contains some great countryside footage by the video guy.

I was about 40-45 pounds heavier than I am now.

Enjoy.
