These are scenes from the Pas­sion of the Christ done mtv-style with the song by Evanes­cence, My Immor­tal.
Below is a short ser­mon by the Arch­bishop of Can­ter­bury Rowan Williams. He is one of the great the­olo­gians of the Angli­can Church.

Twenty five years ago yes­ter­day, Oscar Romero, Arch­bishop of El Sal­vador, was shot dead at the altar of a hos­pi­tal chapel. He was fully aware of what risks he was run­ning; for some years, he had denounced the mas­sive injus­tices of Sal­vadorean society …

This video’s really good. I heard this song for the first time in an episode of Smal­l­ville (I think it was Clark and Lana danc­ing dur­ing their prom).
It’s by Life­house–who rose to promi­nence with their song Hang­ing by a Moment in 2000.
While the video can be really kitsch-y (is there such a word?!) and hard-sell, it does show to peo­ple (albeit in a very unsub­tle way) what los­ing God because of other pri­or­i­ties mean. At the same time, it does show how God can win us back in the end.

This is from the Finals of Britain’s Got Tal­ent. Paul Potts may have won the com­pe­ti­tion, but Connie’s per­for­mance is wor­thy of note as well; if only for the fact that she sang so purely and per­fectly for a six year old. Enjoy the voice of an angel!

It’s always dif­fi­cult to say good­bye. Some­times, you just hold on because you’re afraid of being alone and being lonely. Some­times you hold on because you’re afraid of the “other side”–the one with­out any­one there. But then, there are times when it is prob­a­bly time to say good­bye. Prob­a­bly because too much pain has been given and too much hurt has been felt. And things that have been said can­not be taken back.
I think the dif­fi­culty is when peo­ple do not real­ize that they have also done their share in bringing …
