Thanks for posting this cri de (my) coeur, Paul. I had a lot of fun making it because if I don't laugh about this stuff, I end up screaming…or worse!

How can I save this to my computer to show to churches?

  Is there a reason you couldn't show it to them directly from YouTube? If that's not possible, I suggest you contact Meredith through her website http://meredithgould.com and see if you can work that out with her.

I guess I'll have to laugh, because it's too early in the week to cry.

Which best describes your organization's approach to assessing the value/ROI of social media?

We diligently track the source of all sales/goals so we know what social media is producing.
We look at trends. If our use of social media correlates with an increase in our sales/goals that indicates it's value.
You can't put a dollar value on relationships and so we don't try to assess the value/ROI of social media.
We're doing some tracking of the source of sales/goals, so we have some numbers, but we also recognize there's more to the value of social media than those numbers.
We're experimenting with social media now. We'll tackle the value/ROI issue once we get a better idea of what we're doing.
We know we should be trying to assess the value of social media, but we just don't know how.
We're not using social media.
