My favorite is the guy at the :42 second part of the video...what was that?
My wife calls me "Pookie". My friends call me "Pookie". Even little children call me "Pookie". But you can simply call me "30-something balding fat guy with an emasculating nickname".
My favorite is the guy at the :42 second part of the video...what was that?

Those of you who are looking for a link to the audio recording of yesterday's teaching can find it here:

I'll be posting future (and past) audio lectures and lessons there.
Stephen Kennedy started a 4 week study of Zechariah last night at church.
It was so good I had to make it available online.
Sadly I did not record the audio (I will in the next 3 weeks) but I did get the text:
Christ and His People in Zechariah
or the .pdf version here
This is a great example of scholarly study for the purpose of devotional application! ... no "bells and whistles", just good meaty content!

This is easily the funniest car review I've ever read.
Writing in the UK's Sunday Times, Jeremy Clarkson writes about the new Honda hybrid:
It’s terrible. Biblically terrible. Possibly the worst new car money can buy. It’s the first car I’ve ever considered crashing into a tree, on purpose, so I didn’t have to drive it any more.
. . . And the sound is worse. The Honda’s petrol engine is a much-shaved, built-for-economy, low-friction 1.3 that, at full chat, makes a noise worse than someone else’s crying baby on an airliner. It’s worse than the sound of your parachute failing to open. Really, to get an idea of how awful it is, you’d have to sit a dog on a ham slicer.
So you’re sitting there with the engine screaming its head off, and your ears bleeding, and you’re doing only 23mph because that’s about the top speed, and you’re thinking things can’t get any worse, and then they do because you run over a small piece of grit...

Here is a little audio clip of a southern-style comedian named Jeanne Robertson...I put it on here because I thought my parents would get a kick out of it.
She starts out in the middle of a bit about facial expressions we make when we hear that someone has "passed"; its a little confusing at first but then she gets on to the story about her husband (whom she calls her 'left-brain').

I showed these pictures to one of the little kids in the neighborhood who was visiting at our house.
I explained to her that these were my friends from when I was in high school.
Her only question..."What costume did you wear to that party?"
I had to explain to her...it wasn't a party...AND THOSE AREN'T COSTUMES!!!
In case you're wondering...yes, it was OK for a man to wear a pink and white striped tank top back then!
Don't you wish someone would just 'paint you a picture' to explain what's going on with the economy?
Well... someone did!
This is actually divided into two youtube videos...but it will be the best 10 minutes you've spent in a long time! Really...it all makes sense now!

Guess Who Replaced Jesus as America's Favorite Hero?
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – February 19, 2009
The Harris Poll®
You know I almost never get political on this blog, but this information was just too interesting from a cultural standpoint.
Here is how the survey was conducted:
These heroes were named spontaneously. Those surveyed were not shown or read a list of people to choose from. The Harris Poll was conducted online among a sample of 2,634 U.S. adults (aged 18 and over) by Harris Interactive® between January 12 and 19, 2009.
Here are the top 4 results:
4. Ronald Reagan
3. Martin Luther King, Jr.
2. Jesus Christ (formerly #1)
1. Barack Obama
Here is more from the survey:
What Makes a Hero?
The public gives multiple reasons to explain their choice of heroes.
Those mentioned most often include:
“Doing what’s right regardless of personal consequences” (89%)
“Not giving up until the goal is accomplished” (83%)
“Doing more than what other people expect of them” (82%)
“Overcoming adversity” (81%)
“Staying level-headed in a crisis” (81%)

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Then shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England.
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guineanor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
Grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.
If you have a bunch of odds and ends
And get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
Should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by lorry (truck in Yankeese) but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We (the Yanks, that is) park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
In which your house can burn up as it burns down
In which you fill in a form by filling it out,
And in which an alarm goes off by going on.
And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?

As a follow-up to yesterday's Sunday School I wanted to share some quotes that make some of the same points we were discussing:
When we stress that faith ought to be certain and secure, we do not have in mind a certainty without doubt, or a security without any anxiety. Rather, we affirm that believers have a perpetual struggle with their own lack of faith, and are far from possessing a peaceful conscience, never interrupted by any disturbance.” - John Calvin
“This is what I see, and what troubles me. I look on all sides, and everywhere I see nothing but obscurity. Nature offers me nothing that is not a matter of doubt and disquiet. If I saw no signs of a divinity, I would fix myself in denial. If I saw everywhere the marks of a Creator, I would repose peacefully in faith. But seeing too much to deny [Him], and too little to assure me, I am in a pitiful state, and I would wish a hundred times that if a God sustains nature it would reveal Him without ambiguity.” -Blaise Pascal
“The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in a way that it catches you.” - Soren Kierkegaard
“If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not need to believe, but precisely because I cannot grasp God objectively, then I must believe.” - Soren Kierkegaard
