It’s YouTubesday again, which means will look at some videos. I’ve put five videos on the player below, all related to finances and the church. Here’s a quick rundown of what you have to watch below.

Eight Dollar Hot Dog 04:25

Video: Pathology of a Hate Crime (ht 1: Tigera)

Following up on the idea that: What the Homeless need is a home, there is a great video over at PBS that you should really check out.
The synopsis of Home At Last from PBS:
What will most help homeless people reenter the fabric of society? Some say the answer is right there in the question: a home. This week, NOW investigates a program that secures apartments for the long-term homeless, even if they haven’t kicked their bad habits. If you think that sounds crazy, think again. Advocates say this approach reduces …

I’ve added a Videos Page. And a Poll to decide were to Donate this Month’s Comment Love, go to an individual post and look at the side bar to vote were.

I’m not really sure what you folks think of Marilyn Manson and his music, but ever since I saw him on Bowling for Columbine, I’ve been interested in what he has to say.
I also don’t know what you think about Bill O’Reily, but I was really impressed with his peaceful and respectful attitude in this interview.
All in all, I think this is worth seven minutes of your time. Especially if you work with kids or anyone else that might listen to Marilyn Manson’s music.

Kevin Barbieux, known as TheHomelessGuy, has in the past year done a bit of video documenting in addition to his current blog.
The Video Post below is of Burnell Cotton who “is homeless and lives on the streets. He tells of being pelted with eggs by roving groups of non-homeless people.”

If you liked this post you can watch more of Burnell Cotton, and other Videos Kevin’s posted over at youtube.

Who said those Jesus films are boring?

It seems it’s the common approach of many teachers, babysitters and parents, and now I’ll use it for my blog.
For the next couple days expect a brief video from my collection of favorites. Until I have time to write more this will hopefully suffice.

The story of the Father and Son Hoyt.

This movie makes me bawl:

You can also watch a news clip about their story.
Visit their website.

Or watch another inspirational video about them.
A Brief overview: Basically this is a Father-Son team that compete in triathlons, full Iron-man Triathlons, not rinky dinky ones, together. You’ll understand together when you see the video
There are many inspirational videos out there, but often times I find inspirational videos a bit cheesy. This one always touches me. I think the song My Redeemer goes so well with it because …

This is a powerful short little film.

Note: This is a 35 minute video about the media’s portrayal of women. It’s a very important and interesting film that you should take the time to watch. I don’t think it needs much further commenting, only that I would strongly recommend that you watch it.
Note: Keep in mind that this is about the dehumanizing and objectifying way the media portrays women, so it shows plenty of examples of that, proceed with caution.

Update: Media Education Foundation is now on youtube
I still found the full video on Google Videos.

I am not uncritical of rap music, but I am also cautious to judge a culture I am not a part of and have not sought to understand.
As someone who has worked in the education system and with youth who are a part of this hip-hop culture, I have a deep interest in it’s affect on our generation.
I found this video intriguing because I feel there where valid points made by each of the people speaking. I feel bad that the conversation happened on a show like this …

When I get bored I try and find more creative ways to ride my bike. You know instead of the traditional way of riding. I was going to video tape it for you and put it on here, but since I don’t have a camera, and there is no one to ride along and tape me I’ve decided to just put a video up of someone doing the exact same thing. (Well, she’s only a beginner though, so it’s not exactly how I ride)

A five minute cartoon that really helps layout the immigration debate for folks. enjoy.

I thought this was a very well done video.

This is sort of an intro to me posting a bunch of articles related to education. I know it’s almost summer, but I’ve had a few people ask me education related questions and I figure it’s time for some answers.
