Bobby McFerrin is my kinda cool

Doug Wilson’s reminded me of my love for Bobby McFerrin.  The man is just awesome.  I even do the chest-slapping human drum thing too.  People tell me it looks lame and sounds nothing like Bobby.  I tell them ‘Envy rots the bones’ (Prov 14:30).
Anyway, here’s three videos demonstrating the brilliance of McFerrin and the wonder [...]

Words cannot describe…

Mesmerising.  Like a car crash.
You’ll have probably seen enough after about 4 minutes.

From here, via The Old Adam.
Even in the psychadelic imaginings of HR Puffenstuff, never did they conceive of something as bizzare as this.
I can’t even think of the correct interrogative to attach to those puppets.
Who?
What?
Why?
How?

Razor tongued journalism

Enjoyed reading this far too much.
Every night, [Simon Cowell, creator of The X-Factor / American Idol] paces the empty corridors of his monochrome mansion, worrying whether he has calibrated correctly the mix of trainwrecks/ugly nightingales/Iraq-based backstories, or whether something – somewhere – is askew. Will one mistimed child teardrop in episode three be the Toto [...]

Dang it, maybe I am chickified

After carefully selecting my perfect summer pick of Starbucks beverage, I was mortified to hear the Barista call out my order in full hearing of the cafe:

Hazelnut Frappuccino with extra whipped cream.
I almost didn’t claim it.

Don’t worry Dan, there’s a lot of cool clerical wear out there.  I think the guy at the back is Archdeacon or something.

Bad news for England

Australia’s batting looks fragile and apart from Lee the bowling seems toothless.  So I was relieved to watch this the other day:

 
And just a reminder of what Warne can do

Friday Fun

Growing up, Friday used to mean John Clarke and Bryan Dawe doing their 3 minute spoof interviews at the end of current affairs programme The 730 Report.
Good example of Australian humour.  Hope you enjoy them.

Ode to an evangelical sage

O thou brain — exalted, senior,
Holding forth from pulpit’s throne.
Feed us with thy academia,
Meted out in monotone.
     ‘We could never,
     ‘We could never,
     ‘Plumb such myst’ries on our own.’
Hear the classics now recited,
Tumbling from thy tutored lips.
Nooks ignored are now ignited,
By thy greek and latin quips.
     ‘O how richly
     ‘O how richly,
     ‘Wisdom from each sentence [...]

Surely Jesus would have said something…

I was at a meeting of local Anglican clergy yesterday and got talking to a local minister at the coffee break.  I offered to pour him a brew and he said, “Oh I’ve given up coffee for lent.  You’d better make it half a cup.”
“Oh right.  Shall I make you a tea instead?” I offered, [...]

CS Lewis on Comedy

On Thursday I’m going to speak about Comedy and Christianity (see here and here).
The Screwtape Letters is itself a wonderful argument for the positive Christian use of comedy.  In fact I once heard John Cleese read the book on tape – hilarity itself! 
Lewis’ book consists of the letters of Screwtape, a senior demon, to his [...]

Not a great image

… in any sense of the word.
Cindy Jacobs mobilised a Day of Prayer for the Global Economies on October 29th.
So these Christians went down to a Wall Street statue symbolic of the global financial system.  They laid hands on a metal image of a bull and prayed.

And they sang ‘God Bless America.’

Worship to honour the Lord

Perhaps most ironic of all is the worship leader’s opening prayer – a desire to honour the Lord.
