Where Facebook and the Saint John's Bible (http://www.saintjohnsbible.org
) meet: http://www.facebook.com/SeeingTheWord

***YouTube Discussion Starter of the Day (thank you Ms. Molly Weyrens)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n7ip-VzrtY, the Skit Guys. Is this a
good discussion starter for your group? Can you and/or your group
create a similar discussion starter?

***Blast from the Past Updated Internet Safety Resource of the Day
(thank you Mr. Dan Hollenhorst)
Remember Desiderata, the philosophical exhortation for wisdom and
happiness of 1972? (if not, check http://www.safeshare.tv/v/
xxrsNCLr_xk). Here is http://www.cyberbully.org's updated version, the
DigiDesiderata (http://www.safeshare.tv/v/UeSNA1VTfEE). The pdf
version at http://www.cyberbully.org/documents/DigiDesiderata_000.pdf
contains reflection questions.

***Book Idea of the Day (thank you Mr. Daniel Hardester)
Jesuit Father John Kavanaugh's revised and updated "Following Christ
in a Consumer Society". It's a cultural critique of the first order
and this 25th anniversary edition has a 2006 publication date. It's
axiomatic that gospel living is countercultural until we live in the
reign of God. Consequently, Catholic Christian cultural critique is
indispensible to our mission. Get the book at http://tinyurl.com/

***Web Tool of the Day
Notice the links to http://www.safeshare.tv? This tool allows you to
paste in the web address (URL) of a YouTube video, and turn it into
another address that, when followed, shows the video without the
distractions of suggested videos, comments, etc. This prevents people
from running into words or videos that would be less than appropriate
for our ministry.

If any links do not work, simply copy and paste them into your
browser's URL field, making sure no spaces accidentally get into it.
