Hippo Butt Explosion!! ' Wheres the Beef!??'

Oh my gosh! That was a spicy meatball!!! This is just about as funny as Jim Carry exiting the robot rhino in Ace Ventura 2.

Oscar... My Very Weird, Handstand Peeing Dog

Another reason why dogs are just awesome!

An Experiment (Stuff Fundies Like)

For any of you who have grown up in a conservative fundamentalist church this is a good test to take. I was able to stay seated. But the urge to run and kneel was there. My years of therapy have paid off!

My Take: Reactions to Cain, Paterno point to a not-so-Christian nation – CNN Belief Blog - CNN.com Blogs

I would have to agree with Prothero here. It is disturbing if we are honest with ourselves where our hearts go in situations like this. And it just may reveal more about our corrupt nature rather than our "Christian values". It is so important to be careful in our initial reactions to these stories which at the moment are just based on very limited information and emotion. The darkness must be revealed fully by the light. If there is nothing hiding in the dark then show your support. But if there is a world of evil lurking in the darkness and you spoke up to defend someone prior to that process completing itself, not only will you look foolish, but you may have a very serious crisis of conscience having to determine the nature of God's Spirit impacting you as opposed to your sin nature actually controlling you.

Christian Zombie Killers (a book for teens) | Jesus Needs New PR

Someone came up with a book that combines the two things I love the most: Christianity and Zombies. I will now have to come up with a different aspect of culture to make a cheap Christian copy of it. Any ideas? Christian Jersey Shore? Christian Hoarders? Christian Zombie Killer is so much cooler.

This is Discipling

Wow! Some great thoughts, critiques and reminders of what discipling others is and is not. I think this may find it's way into a sermon.
