on sex & souls

One of our students shared this video recently on Facebook, called Sexual Healing. The young man's passion and conviction reminds me of my students who wrote and performed their own poems at last year's Poetry Cafe.

It's worth watching, if not for this one line:

If sex is just for fun, why does it take such a toll?...
Because you don't just have sex with a body, you have sex with a soul.

the clock is ticking

In recent years, I've found myself increasingly attuned to others' marketing strategies. The most effective strategies I've seen lately are in video format.

It started in July with Ford's video campaign to unveil the new Explorer. It was a mystery, really, that a marketing video for a car could give me goosebumps.

Then there was this one, which brought tears to my eyes: Amazima Ministries on Vimeo

And then just today, a friend shared this one in their Facebook stream. It's for The Girl Effect and it's put a burning in my soul.



I still don't know what I'm going to do about it, but it's raised a lot of burning questions in my heart, primarily: "What can I do? right now? from here?"

now playing: an experiment

This is a experimental video post. No, it's not a vlog. It's just a video of the song I'm currently hooked on. And I took it from YouTube. And I have no idea if it's an infringement. And if this blog gets shut down I guess I'll have my answer.

For the record, Guster has been a favorite of mine since junior year of high school (seven years ago). I love their lyrical strength and imagery, the gentle acoustics, and the easy harmony I fall into when I sing along in my car (or in my room, or in the shower).

Also for the record, Guster is not a Christian band. They're all Jewish guys. But being the good liberal arts kid I will always be, I like to pick apart lyrics to find Truth in there somewhere.

Enough qualifying. Just listen already and tell me what you think.

All theirs, not mine. (There. I hope I covered my bases.)
