Check this out. She describes the reason this is so awesome better than I can, but if you don’t have the time to read a big writeup, just let me say this: I challenge you to watch this video and not smile. These people remember what it’s like to get lost in the moment and be happy, rather than worrying about keeping up appearances, and it’s awesome — and contagious.
This song is just way too catchy.
I can’t get over this site I heard about on WAY-FM this morning. It’s called “I am second” and is at http://iamsecond.com. It’s got video testimonies from people from all walks of life, including some celebrities like Stephen Baldwin, Jason Castro (former contestant on American Idol), and Brian Welch (former member of the band, Korn).
From what I can tell, it looks like it was done by a church or churches in Texas, and it was executed with a level of excellence I’ve never seen when it comes to a web-based ministry. This is something I honestly wish I’d thought of. It starts with a list of video testimonies you can scroll through, or you can just click on the random one that is displayed front and center when you visit, and once the testimony is over, you can see other testimonies with a similar theme, or proceed to a basic Q&A about the Christian life, with such questions as “Does God care about me?”, “Aren’t there many ways to Heaven?”, “Why does God allow bad stuff to happen?” — it provides answers to some of the tough questions someone contemplating a Christian faith might ask.
Then, to top it all off, and this is what sort of blew my mind, it provides a link to contact someone, then and there, via e-mail, phone, or live chat. According to the site it is staffed 24/7. This is the sort of thing companies do to provide tech support after you buy a computer (though even that usually isn’t 24/7), not the sort of thing we Christians do to advance the kingdom. But why don’t we? This is just awesome. Like I said, I wish I’d thought of it, but I’m honestly just thankful someone did.
[Update: They've set up a blog as well!]
Poor Peter Schiff. The guy was basically psychic and everyone was laughing him off.
Take On Me: The Literal Version
I thoroughly approve. One of my all-time favorite 80s songs.
Late last week and into the weekend, my parents were sharing with me what was an amusing development at my aunt’s house. Amusing to me, at least, at my safe distance of over 400 miles away. A young squirrel has somehow found its way into her house. My aunt is a bit of a pack rat, so needless to say, there are plenty of places for the little guy to hide. Apparently, he’s found a way into her ceiling as well and is generally wreaking havoc on her normally tranquil lifestyle. She’s really afraid of this little bugger.
So, the following are a few videos illustrating a few possible methods of dealing with the little guy, courtesy of liveleak.com and my ever-vigilant coworkers, whose timing in finding these videos was impeccable. Perhaps these will be of use to you if you also find yourself victimized by squirrels.
