I did NOT say it was the funniest five second video on the web. I said I thought it was hilarious and that there are some who are saying it’s the funniest five second video on the web.

And yes, you have to watch it way more than just once.

hmm, the look on it’s face is pretty funny, but funnily enough, I reckon there’s got to be funnier stuff out there…

Re: Prayer

Will be praying for those things. Would appreciate prayer for a talk I am giving at youth group tonight on why the bible is essential in living the christian life.

Re: Video

There’s no way that is the funniest five second video on the internet. It does get funnier the more you watch it though. I didn’t even crack a smile the first time, but was almost laughing by about the sixth time around…

Re: Observation

I agree that sms tends to be the best way to communicate with leaders. I almost always get a reply to sms's...whereas email, myspace etc is far less guaranteed (or at least not as quickly).

For communicating with youth kids however, I think we need to be more careful in our use of sms - as it is much more of a 'private' system (meaning that it is much harder for other people to keep us accountable with what we are saying)

Also - not sure if you have heard of the CYIADA Project (check out their website here). It's currently in development (Sydney based), but they have some pretty exciting plans - especially for "a messaging system that lets you send both e-mail & SMS quickly and easily — keeping leader-youth communication accountable and open"
