It’s happening again.
It seems like this just happened last year.
When the Mexicans start dancing in the streets…I know it’s my birthday.
That’s right.
May 5 = Cinco de Mayo = my birthday
It’s a bit of a mystery to me, why the Mexicans decided to commemorate my birth with a holiday, parades, food, and dancing in the streets.
And yet…on the day I was born, they danced in the streets.
And they’ve done it every year since.

Like “salespeople” in the stores are now “customer service experts”? Or “waiters” and “waitresses” are now “food service transport technicians?”
Today is Secretary’s Administrative Professionals Day. I know this, not because I have a secretary administrative professional working for me, but because I’ve been called in early to the flower shop this morning to deliver lots of flowers to secretaries administrative professionals all over town.

Okay, I made this brain teaser up myself just for you, so don’t laugh, okay?
Well, actually, you can laugh. Just laugh with me, not at me.
Whatever that means.
Anyhow.
During the entire three days The Director was shooting this week, we never rolled tape at the top of the hour. Can you guess why?
(I’ll drop a hint later today, if nobody can guess it by then.)

So for the past couple of years, I’ve been learning a lot about postmodernism, and how it’s affecting our culture, especially with upcoming generations. Alongside that, I’ve been learning a lot about what’s being called the “emergent church”, which many times amounts to “church for postmoderns” (PoMos) because its next-generation approach speaks largely to the PoMo worldview.
I’m not just a student of information, but also a student of human nature, so this stuff intrigues me.

A number of years ago, when I was young(er)…I was volunteering as a worship leader for a youth group in a large Assembly of God church in Cincinnati. One day, the youth pastor and I were bumming around in his office. He started digging through his desk looking for something, and pulled out a cassette tape he didn’t recognize. The words “Hymns My Mother Never Sang” was handwritten on it. So we popped the cassette into the player and started listening.
About a half hour later, our stomachs were sore from laughing so hard.
What an awesome fun thing it was to watch U2 perform all week on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” (The new album is great, too!) They wouldn’t allow embdding of YouTube clips of the performances earlier this week, but now they are apparently available.
Couldn’t resist this one…U2 does the Top Ten List. Pay special attention to The Edge on Number 5…
Here’s the classic “Beautiful Day” from Night 4. Watch toward the end; with one surprise gesture Bono gets the whole crowd standing and shouting.
…Aaand, the hit single “Get On Your Boots” from Night 5.

Okay, so I’ve now been tagged twice for this, both times in Facebook…first by Jim, and now by Karen. But since my blog is linked to my Facebook, and I spend most of my time in blog-land…I’m posting it here so it’ll show up in both places. 🙂
