Happy Mother’s Day

I talked to my mother yesterday, but will not see her on this Mother’s Day.  She called to say my card arrived and that she enjoyed the Easter pics of her granddaughter.  Her birthday is in a couple of weeks, and we’ll get there in plenty of time for that.

Here’s the Mother’s Day sermon I posted 2 years ago.

Last year I did Instead of  a Mother’s Day sermon.

The latter is certainly not “light” on theology.  I will preach a variation of that post this morning.  Here’s a funny video for moms.  Enjoy your day 🙂

Steve Martin on Austin City Limits

“This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Capitol of Texas Public Telecommunications Council.”

Apparently “public” television isn’t as public as we all thought it was. Public television is paid for the members who support it, rather than by the sell of commercial airtime.  It is available for free to the public.  Copyright holders own certain intellectual property and do not give it away in order to make a profit.  It it’s public why is there a copyright claim to be made?

This is one of the best videos of any kind I’ve seen on the internet in a long time.  Unfortunately I can’t see it again nor show it to anybody else.  Thank you Texas, and the good people of Not-So-Public After All Television.

It’s been a while since we had a post on the lighter side; these are meant to give us a break from things that are too heavy.  Enjoy the following comic from Non Sequitur.  I think this is the true life story of Michael Spencer.

research1A young man inherited everything in his grandfather’s library, but did not share his grandfather’s love of books.  His friend dropped by as he was boxing up loads of old books for the garbage.  “Some of this stuff could be worth something.  You should check up on the stuff you’re throwing out” his friend warned.  “All of this is junk” the young man insisted.  “Take this for instance.  It’s a weird German Bible by some Gutenberg character.”  “Oh my God!” his friend exclaimed.  “A Gutenberg Bible!  There are only 46 of those known to exist.  You can’t throw that away.  Do you have any idea?”  “No, no, no” he protested.  “This one is all worn out, and wouldn’t be worth nothing anyway.  Some guy named Martin Luther done scribbled in it.”

There is a serious post coming on the Protestant Reformation and Church History, I just can’t write it tonight.  It’s after 11:30 already.  UPDATE: Here it is.

Theological Trivia Questions & Wacky Search Terms

Posted on by

I’m going to start a new category on my blog listing some of the wacky questions I get asked.  WordPress lists the search engine terms that people type in that leads readers to my blog, and some of those make you wonder what people are thinking.  I’ve often laughed to myself, but decided other people might want in on the joke.

I’m not making fun of anybody.  There’s an old saying that there are no stupid questions, only stupid people who don’t ask questions.  Often times though, the very question being asked reveals the person’s misunderstanding of the subject.  What’s funny is not that someone doesn’t know the answer, but that their  whole mindset is misguided.  This is especially true of theology.  Continue reading →
