As you might already know, I regularly use Firefox as my browser of choice. The lastest version of Firefox (3.0) was made available to the public last week, and there have already been nearly 18 million downloads of this project (NOTE: Firefox 3.0 may be downloaded here.).

Regular readers of LutheranTech know that the focus of this blog tends to be on technology, education, and ministry. But there are times when larger ministry issues are on my mind, spurring thoughts that I believe might have value for the larger group of Lutheran educators. Clearly there is a great deal of angst in our country over rising gas prices and the entire economic picture. Lutheran schools, especially those who are almost entirely tuition based in their funding, are feeling the pinch as they seek to maintain enrollment targets and meet budget strictures. However, it is during unsettling times such as these that opportunities for ministry and service often emerge, and Lutheran schools, churches, and related ministries are uniquely prepared to respond to those who are unsettled by life in 2008 and looking for a firm foundation in uncertain times.

 I've started playing with a service called Diigo, which appears to be a combination of several social networking ideas, such as Ning and del.icio.us, with steroids added. The site is much faster to render than the other previously listed services in my tests, which is remarkable given the richness of the features found in Diigo. As a result, I'm finding it to be fairly overwhelming. There are so many interesting tools and uses that it is difficult sorting through the utility for education, professional development, and ministry in a focused way.
