The Beer We’ll Drink in Heaven…I Guess
Categories: fun, Things I Should Probably Not Be Telling You, What the heck was THAT?
So tonight, a new pub/restaurant that’s opening up just across the street had an open house and invited the neighborhood to come have free food and drinks before their grand opening tomorrow. So we walked the two minutes into town to check it out. And besides the free food that kept coming out of the kitchen, they offered free stuff from the bar. And they had the beer in the picture on draft.
I remembered how in his book Exiles, Michael Frost tells the story of how Arthur Guinness developed Guinness Beer. And in the book he says, “It’s the beer we’ll drink in heaven.” So since it was free…I tried it.
Random Randomness That Has Nothing to Do With Anything
Categories: fun, random stuff, What the heck was THAT?
This doesn’t really have anything to do with anything…but have you ever noticed the quirky little ways we solve common problems, the little remedies we create to fix little annoyances?
Take ketchup bottles, for instance. Have you ever noticed how many different techniques people have for getting the ketchup out of the bottle?
So Enough About Me and What I Think (For the Moment)…

…I’d be interested in knowing where you are at on your journey. So this is the interactive part of the blog experience…
In the comments, feel free to answer any or all of the following questions:
- Are you a Christ-follower, agnostic, atheist, pagan, or something else? How would you identify yourself? Alright, don’t be a wise guy: if you’re “something else”, say WHAT you are. Don’t leave us guessing. 🙂
- If you consider yourself a Christ-follower, what does “church” look like for you? Are you in an institutional setting, living room, meeting at a coffee shop, or somewhere in between?
An Interview With Myself on the Occasion of My FIVE HUNDREDTH POST
Categories: fun, What the heck was THAT?
Last summer, I interviewed myself on the occasion of my two hundredth blog post, and it was so popular (especially with me) that I simply had to invite myself back to celebrate post 500. Here is the conversation I had with myself…
Q: Good to have you back, Jeff. Congratulations on 500 posts!
A: Good to be back, Jeff. How have you been?
Q: I’ll ask the questions, okay?
A: Fine. Shoot.
Q: Can you believe you have written 500 posts in a year and a half?
A: Nope.
Marketing Slogans Doomed to Fail
Categories: fun, What the heck was THAT?
Okay, readers, this is totally random…but time for a little game. Let’s use our imagination…(put on your widdle pwetend hats…)
Let’s pretend we have this mediocre product to sell–say, a brand of sugar-free gum. Our gum came in 4th place in national taste tests.
We’ll call it–Smackers.
Smackers® Sugar-Free Gum.
Now…we’re the advertising crew. And our job is to come up with a slogan for Smackers® Sugar-Free Gum. But the fact is, we suck just as bad as the gum does. So we come up with all these slogans that are doomed to fail.
That’s the game, folks. Come up with a slogan that will make people run away from Smackers® Sugar-Free Gum.
Fifty
Categories: fun, random stuff, What the heck was THAT?
Here’s a little puzzle for you to solve. (Yes, it’s THAT kind of a post.)
Can you guess why the number fifty is significant to me today?
A little help narrowing it down:
- It’s not the number of posts I’ve written (shoot, I’m almost to ten times that many)
- Today is not my birthday (not that old)
- Nor my anniversary (puh-leaze)
So…any guesses?
(Immediate family, church family and mother of the blogger are not eligible for the prize–if there was one, that is. So don’t give it away.)
I’ll update later today with the answer….

P.S. This isn’t necessarily an endorsement of bumper-sticker evangelism or witnessing formulas…I just think it’s a cool graphic. 🙂
