It worked!
Here on @ngie we are happy to announce the arrival of vlogs! Vlogs are video blog entries. My first one is posted as a welcome on a page of it’s own called: hi! video. It is very very rudimentary. For a few months now I have had some ideas sloshing around in my brain for vlogs to post here so as I learn how to do things like captions, splicing, music and fades I will be presenting to you my creations.
Tah dah! Click here to see the video. It’s nice to meet you.
What do you think about putting a voice to the words you so graciously read?

i’m definitely more eloquent in writing than in speaking, so for now i’ll stick to posts where my BFF the backspace can join me.
Alece – You are so eloquent in writing! Would you believe that for those tiny 90 seconds I used cue cards? Ha! And that was after three drafts. Knowing the analytical editor in me I said to myself before I hit play, “You are going to be happy with this. Period.” :-) It was fun! I am super excited about this new feature here on @.
thanks for being honest! for all our ministry videos, i’ve always needed quite a few takes, and the perfectionist in me still wishes i could have said things “better”. but… there’s much to be said about some shoot-from-the-hit spontaneity! i bet you could pull that off well… once you get rolling on the vlog train.
Travel by train is very enjoyable. I think I like that “vlog train”. Might work on a little logo… hm. Goes well with the road / driving / travel / car / trip theme here. The wheels are turning…
Can I just say hat I think I see something in you? No. I know I do. Girl, Christ shines through you like a lighthouse. Thanks for sharing.
Amy E. – You are blessing my socks off this evening, girl! All the glory to Him. :-) Thank you for letting me share.
Angie! You are the CUTEST thing ever! I definitely pictured you bubbly and the video proved it. :)
Mucho gusto.
Brandy – ¡Mucho gusto también! Gracias por tus palabras tan lindas. Que Dios te bendiga. :-)
Hey @ngie you did it!! Woo Hoo! I will have to say, keep making them as casual as you can. We have a pastor who is now doing this and his first one was all set up and firmal looking and he was so ‘stiff’ and it just wasn’t him! I actually typed a ‘feedback’ email and deleted it, yeah one of those, heehee. Keep yours the way you did it… REAL! Woo Hoo!!!
And while watching your “Hi!” video I was thinking.. ok mom with four kids and ministry and hubby and a house and laundry, dishes, etc… How is she doing this!??? what is was your secret! I guess it helps because right now, your kids are over 2 years old! heehee
Anyhoo, thanks for JUMPING into faith with this one and putting yourself out there for Christ!
Happy New Year!
*hugs*

Jackie – Happy New Year to you too! Keys to success (ha! if that’s what you call it.) are: outlets / distractions / fun stuff, a wonderful husband, house maid! (yes!), and, lest we forget Him, Philippians chapter four. Thanks for the good feedback. I will be keeping it real then. :-)
Okay, when I first read your blog title I thought you were being attacked by some varmin from Star Trek!! And now after reading Alece’s comment I have the song, “Come on Ride the Train” Woot, Woo!!! runing through my head…
I guess now, maybe you have a sound track! HA!
Livvy Lu – Now, I don’t know that I know that particular song… might have to do some YouTube surfing to see if I can find it so I can hear it.
I LOVE IT!!!
You’re adorable. Those dimples are so fun to watch and honestly, the smile never goes away? How amazing is that!?!?
I’m looking forward to this new venture. I think once was enough for me (in making my own). It’s a bit scary…too many nerves to pull it off on a regular basis.
Thanks for sharing you with us!!
Oh that’s fantastic! Love it @ngie! So good to see you “in person.”
Vlogs are fun. I would love to work out how to do this too, maybe something for later this year :)
And HAPPY NEW YEAR and GOD BLESS to you and DaRonn and all your family for 2009.
Michelle – Your vlog was great! Thanks for allowing me to share myself with you. It is not obligatory in the least and I appreciate your attention. Thank you!
Birgit – So glad that you liked it. I had a alot of fun doing it. I would love to see vlogs from you! Happy New Year and Blessing to you as well! :-)
Loved it! Hmmmm … do you suppose in heaven, Minnesota and Bolivia are right next door? :)
Annie – I don’t know, but with eternity to fill I don’t think the travel to get from one place to another will be such a burden. Glad you loved it. :-)
True, true. My pastor believes we will be able to travel ‘at the speed of thought.’ Sool idea, huh?
uh. that was ‘cool.’
