Great Video

I love this video and the respect he commands.

Common Craft on Social Media

Social Media in Plain English from leelefever on Vimeo. This new video from Common Craft is a must see. Many of you have been asking about Twitter and other social networking tools. This video is worth watching to get the idea. (HT: BA).

Creative Chaos 14

Here is my entry for this week's Creative Chaos over at Ragamuffinsoul.com
The first Sunday of each June we call Celebration Sunday. It is a time of reflecting back on and celebrating what God has done in the life of our church: physical and relational healing, salvation, marriages, births, and more. It is also the anniversary of our senior pastor and his wife coming to the church, 24 years this year! A collage artist in our congregation, Kari Bower, creates a collage for this event each year. This year I shot a time lapse video of Kari making the collage.

Creative Chaos

It's been a busy month around here, so I haven't had much time to participate in Creative Chaos at Ragamuffinsoul for a while. But, here is the video we showed for Mothers Day. We posted these online so that our dads could have them printed out and framed for the moms.

ER, Life, and Atonement

I just jumped into a discussion over at Knightopia. It's about a recent episode of ER where one of the patients struggles with the meaning of forgiveness, works, and grace. It looks like it might turn out to be an interesting one. You can see NBC's 2 minute replay here. I hope the full episode will be online sometime.

Star Wars Pretender

My friend Anthony is in this video over at You Tube. He's the guy in the Darth Vader suit.

NEw Rob Bell Video

Rob Bell has a new Nooma video (HT:Emergent Village). It's rather well done. I've not seen too many of the Nooma videos, but I sure do like this one. It us currently available on Facebook for the next couple of days.
As a former hospital chaplain, I can say that he has hit this one on the head. I've had these conversations with many families. It is all too easy to get into platitudes, but to enter into the suffering and pain of the world as Jesus did is our calling.

Solomon's Porch Video

Here is a neat little video about Solomon's Porch in Minneapolis. Their pastor, Doug Pagitt will be teaching a class with Ryan Bolger on the emerging church at Fuller next month. I am going to attend the class as much as I can.

Emerging Church Documentary

I came across this today on youtube. Some interesting sound bites. It is a promo for a documentary on the emerging church. He interviews a number of the big hitters. It is always worth noting when documentaries start to appear...it often marks the beginning of the end. Hopefully not in this case.
