Isn’t that the way you feel some days? A Perfect Mess?
It’s how I often feel after leading weekend worship for the 300-1000 people at either of our two church campuses.  I plop down in my car, peel off my nametag, and rehash all the mistakes that happened during the worship experience.  “What a mess that [...]

This video on sharing faith really struck me as funny, but also as sadly true.  Many of us fall into a couple of traps in terms of sharing faith.  In the first camp, people try valiantly to talk about faith, but fall into traps like using Christianese terms, words that you’ve heard in church, but [...]

I know the 4th has just passed us, but please view this video.  I hope this video touches your heart.  I know many people have ambivalent feelings about the war, but we need to remember that those who are far away are real people, real fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters.  All of them [...]

So here are the first three of GodTube’s Top 10 videos of the week. You can watch all three if you like (#8 about the Pulpit/Grill device is pretty amusing too), but the first one, #10 is what I thought was most intriguing- and not just because it’s one of those cute kid videos.

Do you like magic?  Even if you don’t, I think you’ll find this video interesting.  And if you can’t quite figure out how it works and you want to know, check this one out too.
 
Now I’ve loved magic since I was a kid and even dabbled in it for a little while, but it’s not [...]

As I was trying to make my pick for this week I was looking at some interesting videos and then a forward came into my box.  While it came too late for me to post last Wednesday, I think you might enjoy some of these Father’s Day tribute videos posted on Godtube.
These first couple of [...]

When I read something about this video, I checked it out right away and came away feeling a little disappointed.  I had a hard time concentrating on his words while also watching the visuals.  Some of it seemed kind of jerky.  Some of it seemed kind of simplistic to me.
But then I watched it again.  [...]

This may be the best video yet. I was laughing throughout it. (By the way was anyone else reminded of Michael Scott in The Office by this guy?) It has a number of angles though.
First, have you ever dealt with a person like this? Someone who basically thinks his or her [...]

Do you love standing in the midst of the change explored in this video?
I do. Maybe, it’s because I love history so much and loved reading about the Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, etc, but there’s something fascinating about living in a generation that is on the verge of a major shift in history, especially [...]

Always Wear Sunscreen.
Does anyone remember when this song/speech came out? It’s hard (at least for me) to believe it was almost 10 years ago now, addressed to the class of 1999. I know these words spoke powerfully to many people. At least that must have been the case because it was played on the radio [...]
