The youth group at my church did a sermon about Social media recently (see below).

They started with a video that gives a lot of stats: watch it here - only ~2 mins ( Read more... )

I went through the trouble of finding local shops and farmer's markets so that I could support local growers and buy healthy foods. I was skeptical about "organic" in the first place, but now even more so. It doesn't seem like it's worth the effort ( Read more... )

I love the below song & video because it shows how it is about family and relationships and can be a wonderful experience. I posted a comment to say that some people don't have family or good relationships. Sometimes people don't have good relationships for a reason, but most people can learn. Often churches can help with that, but sometimes they ( Read more... )

I like IMDb, because it keeps my history of what I rated, though since I'm a subscriber to Flixter & Netflix, they do, too. IMDb makes my history more available and easier to sort, IMO, and is currently more complete. As I'm getting older, I sometimes forget if I saw a movie, especially if it's not very good, so I like to look back at that ( Read more... )

I had to write this down it was so funny. After showing that the Brady Campaign gives Obama straight F's and then the NRA criticizes Obama for some kind of conspiracy against gun owners/supporters, Jon Stewart said this:

Barack Obama will court his liberal base by running on change, get elected, fail to deliver that change with a Congress of his ( Read more... )

On the radio Sun. morning, the talk show host was asking people to call in to say if they felt safer. Of course, they took a variety of answers from their calls. I knew my answer: "NO!" I actually was thinking that I felt equally safe as I did Sept. 10, 2001 as the world overall hadn't really changed that much - I knew about terrorist attacks ( Read more... )

I was just watching an interview video, Bill McKibben: Will Hurricane Irene Be a Wake-Up Call about Climate Change? - thanks to the co-chair of our church's Green Sanctuary Committee for pointing it out. It looks like the media is not reporting on it, so we need to get the word out ourselves. I know there are skeptics - feel free to debunk ( Read more... )

Are you or do you know someone who is "special"? Ever have trouble with numbers? Or English? Can you imagine learning 2 languages as a child, like many non-Americans, instead of just English like most Americans? I saw a movie you might like. It's rated PG, so the whole family can watch it, but it's subtitled so you need to read while you watch it ( Read more... )

I am so high on life today. As a UU studying spirituality, I call it a "spiritual" or "sacred" feeling. Maybe someone would just say "joy", "uplifting" or "elated". Communicating with each other is that for me - developing relationships & learning to do that better. That's one reason I'm so high on life right now. (Feel free to share with me what ( Read more... )
