Ok

First up a link to Rob Bell’s ‘breathe’ film in the nooma series.

and then a link to an excellent riposte from ‘way of the master radio’

I think you need to do both to get the full effect.

oh boy. 

i shouldn’t be allowed to use the internet after midnite, especially under the influence of any kind of spirit. 

Stop being holy,  forget being prudent

It’ll be a hundred times better for everyone

Stop being altruistic,  forget being righteous

People will remember what family feeling is.

Stop planning, forget making a profit,

There won’t be any thieves and robbers.

But even these three rules 

Needn’t be followed: what works reliably

Is to know the raw silk,

Hold the uncut wood.

Need little,

Want less.

Forget the rules.

Be untroubled

Just great. I think we need to seriously reconsider our communal attitude to shellfish in light of this.

Have y’all seen the Brick Testament? It is a recreation of passages from the bible in lego. Which is already our era’s most striking iconographic form, in my humble opinion. Check her out.

Their recreation of Joshua looks strikingly familiar. Here’s a taster

Ok folks. My Mum sent me this today. Thought it could be good for the picking.

‘Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbours’ possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honoured values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!’

Interesting in the wake of our spiritual tensions debates.

comments if you please.
