Everything is amazing, no one is happy

A friend sent me a link to this youtube clip of a comedian – Louis CK – on Conan the other night. I've never heard of him, though I appreciate his simple message in this clip.

Peyton Manning & United Way

An enjoyable SNL video I've never seen until today:

Haven't blogged much lately... life's been a bit busy to find time to sit down and write. But check out this amazing British advertisement...

Arrogant monsters

From 1998 to 2006, I spent at least part of my summer at a Young Life camp.

In 1997, I had my first Young Life summer camping experience at Saranac Lake in upstate New York, and it changed my life. I went back two more summers as a camper, then two summers as a leader, two summers on summer staff, a summer as an intern and two years as full-time property staff.

Needless to say, I love Young Life camping and believe that it's an important evangelical tool.

I also got to have a lot of fun at Young Life camp. A lot of my best memories come from camp, and a lot of my favorite memories come from working with the program teams. One of my favorite parts of my job at Lake Champion was working with the program teams who came in in the summer. I'd often work on videos for them, as well.

I was blessed to work with a lot of talented and funny people and witness a lot of ridiculous situations. The video above is a video that was made with Gary Wilmer and Chris Geisler while I was a summer intern at Lake Champion in 2003. I hadn't seen this video in a while, but my friend Mark was able to find it and post it to Youtube. Gary's narration still cracks me up to this day.

Binocular soccer

For no reason whatsoever, other than that it's hilarious: A Japanese sketch comedy show (I think the host is that guy from MXC) where they make some guys play soccer with binoculars on.

Misconceptions of Jesus

A friend and I were discussing common misconceptions about Jesus today, specifically people who get bogged down in legalities – and I was reminded of this parody video that Vintage21, a church group in North Carolina, produced a few years ago.

I ought to offer a disclaimer: this video, in no way, represents my views of Jesus, nor do I believe it reflects the views of the film's producers. Bear in mind this video was shown in church, then followed up with a sermon about common misconceptions and stereotypes of Jesus. This one specifically deals with what some people perceive Jesus to be like with rule-breaking, sinning and other "infractions."

It's quite humorous. There's three other videos just like this (it was a four-part sermon series) on Youtube that you can find through watching the video below.
