Prayer On The Run

Prayer On The Run

Prayer life been lacking lately? Forget your morning quiet time before leaving the house? No worries, just stop at a prayer booth and get your prayer in on the run! Funny, yes. But unfortunately, not as far from the truth as we may think. I just read in Mad Church disease the results of a study…

Public Health Warning: Mad Church Disease

Public Health Warning: Mad Church Disease

Health officials are worried about the mysterious new epidemic that is sweeping around the world known only as Mad Church Disease (MCD). Symptoms are difficult to recognize in the early stages leading to an alarmingly high causality rate. While typically infecting those in full-time ministry (especially pastors), MCD is not uncommon among youth pastors, children’s workers, worship leaders, musicians and administrative staff. Even volunteers and part-time ministry staff are at risk…

Going High Definition…Church Style

Going High Definition…Church Style

In the course of browsing through church web sites over the last couple of weeks, I stumbled across the latest cultural-ripoff sermon series: making the switch to high definition. I’m not talking about churches offering free classes for the technically unsavvy explaining HD options and how to hook up your converter box (not a bad outreach opportunity if you ask me). No, I’m talking about the hundreds of churches across the country who prefer to put a “Christian spin” on pop-culture…

Which FRIEND Are You?

Which FRIEND Are You?

FRIENDS was by far my favorite television show from the 90s and probably my favorite sitcom ever. I don’t think there has been a show before or since with such well-written, funny, relatable characters. Ross’s spray-on tanning? Phoebe’s torrent of swearing at the Pac-Man arcade? Chandler’s job? I’m thinking I may have to re-watch a few episodes tonight…

A Rant About Burnt Toast

A Rant About Burnt Toast

Do you mind if I vent on for a second? Toasters frustrate the heck out of me. Why is it that the toast almost never comes out right the first time it pops out of the toaster? I know I can’t be the only one who has this problem…

Bush’s Enduring Legacy

Bush’s Enduring Legacy

There’s an unusual amount of emotion surrounding this month’s Presidential turnover. With over two-thirds of the country stating they disapprove of Bush’s job performance, it’s not difficult to find someone who is quick to rake him over the coals. After all, criticism is so much fun, especially when there are so many people who agree with you…

By The Power of Grayskull I Have The Power!

I got on Hulu the other day to watch back-episodes of The Office and was geeked to see the latest classic television show they added to their ever-growing collection – He-Man!
As a child of the 80s I can so remember watching this show on Saturday mornings. I even had the He-Man action figure complete with [...]
