hermeneutical humility...

I love this t-shirt slogan - a whole lot more honest perhaps than the famous "God said it, I believe it, that settles it" one. Get it from 'here'!

Once again Jon Birch comes up trumps! If you get a chance, check out the brief conversation arising from my Tuesday post, and add to the discussion.

this video is fantastic, freaky, artistic and a great laugh all rolled into one! How would you have reacted?...

music with windows...
Monday, February 25, 2008
Richard White, from the Dream network, just sent me a link to this to see if I missed those wonderful Windows sounds since making the transition to Mac. The short answer is 'no' but it's still well worth having a listen to this...

A man who clearly has much in common with David Beckham, who famously said, "I want Brooklyn to be christened but don’t know into what religion yet"...

paperwork...
Monday, January 28, 2008
a timely contribution from Dave Walker! I think paperwork (and read 'emails' into that) is the thing that stresses me out more than anything else. It's great when I can finally see my desk... shame it usually only lasts for a very short time!Labels: fun
Jesus blogs here...
Friday, January 11, 2008
Jesus' Musings is well worth checking out - make sure you read the comments for each post to get it. It's wonderful satire that gets right to the point!See also 'Weblog of Jesus Stirs Controversy Among Faithful' for more 'comments'. My favourite of the bunch has to be the one (supposedly) written by Christian tract publisher Edward Muehler... "I prefer a gospel that is streamlined, one that fits in a little pamphlet... I know that Jesus has a lot to say about things like poverty and peace, but these things distract from the true nature of the Gospel: freedom
from personal sin and hope for the afterlife."

Another great cartoon from David Hayward. Let's face it, we're all consumers really...

Ok, so this video is a parody (and quite a funny one at that), but the thing with parodies is that there has to be some kernel of truth behind it for it to work. Over the top it may be, but it's built on a perception that we need to work very hard to correct. Enjoy... but not too much!

oh the irony...
Tuesday, October 23, 2007
Yesterday I ordered my MacBook - yes I'm finally making the switch from PC to Mac! So how ironic it was when my PC blew up on me this morning (artistic license in the use of dramatic language - what actually happened was that I switched it on and heard a 'bang' then it was dead!) All very humorous you might think except for the fact that I hadn't got round to doing a back up of emails and data - doh! Just waiting now for a techie to arrive to (hopefully) retrieve the hard drive! Please somebody reassure me that I won't have these problems with a Mac!!Labels: fun

King of the Hill surveys the US church scene in a great clip 'here' - it lasts 5 minutes or so but it's funny so worth it!
I've edited this post to remove the embedded clip because it you can't stop it automatically loading, which is a tad annoying when you've already seen it! So go see it here!
