Coming Soon: Interview with Michael Frost

1 comment

Categories: books, random stuff

Just a heads-up of upcoming happenings on this here blog…

A couple of months ago I mentioned that on occasion, I will be reviewing books for the Viral Bloggers project for TheOoze. The first such review will be of ReJesus: A Wild Messiah for a Missional Church, by Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch.

As part of the review, Michael Frost has graciously agreed to be interviewed here on the blog.

I’ll be chatting with Michael later this week, and plan to post the interview on Monday, May 4.

A Tail of Two Zoos (or, Can You Tell the Difference?)

8 comments

In the split photo above… the pic to the left was taken nearly two years ago, at an outing to the zoo.

The pic to the right was taken last week–same t-shirt, and as chance would have it…a different zoo.

Can you tell the difference between the two?

Hint: I’m wearing different sunglasses.

Just kidding. (Although the sunglasses are, in fact, different…I’m notorious for losing them.)

Most of the weight has been lost in the last 3 and a half months. This is why I am wearing the same shirt. This picture tells me it’s time to get a new one.

…And Apparently, He Is STILL Not Finished Spewing Out Nuggets of Wisdom…

Consider this–Nugget # 27 from the Official Collection of Proverbs and Random Thoughts from Jeff the Twisted, Slightly Off-Center Philosopher:

“Since the arrival of Christ on the stage of world history, those who claim to believe in Him have consistently struggled between conforming themselves after the likeness of Christ, and forming Christ after their own likeness and agendas.”

Hmm….

Day, Interrupted–The Sequel: "Freaky Thursday"

3 comments

Categories: random stuff

So remember all the stuff I told you that happened the first part of yesterday?

I didn’t get to tell you the stuff that happened after that….

After I got the garage cleaned up and had lunch, we decided to blow off some steam and go to a movie. So we went to see Knowing, starring Nicholas Cage.

Knowing is this apocolyptic, freaky-mystery, sci-fi kind of a movie, a lot more compelling than I thought it would be. But what I will likely remember it for has nothing to do with the movie itself.

A Little Brain Teaser from the Film Shoot This Week

4 comments

Categories: fun, random stuff

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.)

Quiet on the Set

1 comment

Categories: random stuff, The Director

Guess where I am blogging from….

…

Wrong.

I am typing this between takes on a movie set. Impressed?

The Director began shooting today on a new short film. We are spending the next three days shooting at a local nightclub. It’s closed during the day, and they’re letting us use it for free. And it’s a great backdrop for the content of the script.

No, I’m not going to tell you.

Small World (The True Story of How I Learned that John the Baptist Used the King James Version)

6 comments

Categories: fun, random stuff, What the heck was THAT?

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.

Hark! Who Goes There? (and Some Other Stuff)

11 comments

Categories: random stuff

So I have put this FEEDJIT thing on my blog. You can find it down the page on the right sidebar of my blog. It’s pretty cool because whenever someone visits my blog, from anywhere on earth, anywhere at all…it immediately logs that person’s location, name, address, phone number, photograph, and personally identifying information, including account numbers for any major credit cards they own.

Well, not really. Actually, all it does is log the city, state or country that person is visiting from. And you can tell FEEDJIT to ignore your visits, so you can remain incognito, if you want. And you can even tell FEEDJIT to lie and say you are visiting from, say, Saskatoon, when you are really visiting from somewhere in Kansas. And lots of times it says someone is visiting from some exotic place, like “United States”, which tells me pretty much nothing. So it’s actually pretty useless.
