“Anonymous said…
And the Lord said unto John, “Come forth and receive eternal life.” But John came fifth and won a toaster.”

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny!

“Can you name three really happy, positive, sunshiny songs you respect musically right now?”
Yes, and they’re all by the band Five Iron Frenzy.

Dr. Awesome, you took the only joke I knew. And that’s probably why they call you “Dr. Awesome” and not me. Oh well… =)

Coming from churches that expressed no emotion I guess I don't get why the sloppy agape cry fest is something to be avoided.
Having a range of emotions is not a bad thing to me. Would rather start with laughter then end with repentance, tears etc.
Maybe I just don't get it.

Greg,
It seems wrong that they put the Foam Soap Dance before the STD video.

Worship whiplash. This happens all the time in our church.

I was a guest speaker at a church filling in for the pastor – and not long before my turn, a very stern member of the finance committee gave a report about the church’s bleak financial situation and laid into everyone about their slacker giving habits.

what would you call that mood, “black cloud of impending financial doom”? aaaand, Faith you’re up!

however, after reading Greg’s post, I know that it can and does get more awkward than that. so thanks for that, Greg.

The only joke about death I know came from the great theologian Michael Scott. It's about Lincoln and as he said it has just recently became funny:

"I need to see this play like I need a hole in the head."

Maybe you can use that one next time.
