I just want you to listen...

I have been trying to think of some commentary to add to this clip, but I just don't think I can do better than the video's description from YouTube:

"Don't try to fix it. I just need you to listen." Every man has heard these words. And they are the law of the land. No matter what.

I will say that I am almost positive that I have had this exact conversation, except without the nail.

President Obama on the CT Shooting

I agree with John Piper's thoughts on the President's words:

"Well said, Mr. President."

Race and the Christian

A livestream even on March 28th, that I would like to watch at my house. (If I'm not still on vacation...)

Anyone interested in watching this with me?

At church yesterday, I discussed the concept of thinking. I am not going to talk about that right now, though I may post the sermon audio for it later. I did want to share these 8 videos that talk about critical thinking. There are tie-ins, both Biblically and Mathematically.

These videos can be found at Bridge 8 with an accompanying resource at TechNYou.

I originally saw these videos at 22 words.

Jōb the Film

A few years ago I read the book Jōb, by John Piper. I also had the audio version which was read by the author. I loved that book. A year or so ago I got the updated version with the new artwork. Challies.com has some of that artwork as their monthly background art give-away. I noticed when I was looking at that art that there was a link to jobthefilm.com. I clicked on through to have a peak and found this trailer:

I have requested this film for our church. I believe that they offer free scheduling for churches. If it comes through, I will be posting here for updates on the showing of this movie.

If you are interested in seeing this, let me know.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore

If you know me, then you know that I love books. This little story really hit home. It is the story of Morris Lessmore and the Fantastic Flying Books. The video's creator gave it this description:

“Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story.

I believe it won an award or two. Watch it and see if you can read anything into this story.

Man's maker was made man...

And here is that quote from the end:

Man's maker was made man,
that He, Ruler of the stars,
might nurse at His mother's breast;
that the Bread might hunger,
the Fountain thirst,
the Light sleep,
the Way be tired on its journey;
that the Truth might be accused of false witness,
the Teacher be beaten with whips,
the Foundation be suspended on wood;
that Strength might grow weak;
that the Healer might be wounded;
that Life might die.
