When I was a teenager I had a German Shepherd-Husky dog named Rebel, nicknamed 'Jerkhead'. He was a very kind dog to children and most people but he had some interesting habits which involved going for runs.

My Mom and I brought him home when he was 1.5 years old. Soon my Dad had to have the backyard fence extended by several feet because Rebel could jump over it. Once Rebel could no longer jump over it he would dig under it.

Once out of the backyard he would look to do the following, or the following would occur:

Deliver a 'parcel' to a neighbour's yard.

(Yes he could have done that in our yard, but no, no, no, that would not be neighbourly, would it?)

(He was the Mr. Rogers of German Shepherd-Huskies.)

Attack a male canine.

Mate with a female canine.

Chase a feline. In particular a certain orange and white cat that my Mom also did not like that much. This cat liked to for some reason take swipes with his claws at both Rebel and my Mom.

The cat liked me though.

Have an automobile 'incident'. Once he decided to rest in the middle of the street right in front of an RCMP patrol car.



My deduction is that this is an example of employees going too far with late night humour.

However, I agree, I too will go with the salad.

I will go further, I will avoid McDonalds (for the most part).



On the bright side, a person can sit and tie his or her shoes without someone opening the door. Genius!

Religious Album Covers



I realize this album was likely done decades ago but there should be some common sense used when marketing an album that will be sold in both Christian and secular culture, which do overlap.

Romans 12:2 comes to mind:

English Standard Version

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

New American Standard Bible

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

The Christian, the follower of the Biblical God is not to be conformed to the world, as in the system of thinking in the world, but is to follow the will of God. However, this should not mean that the Christian necessarily develops and uses language such as in 'touched me' or 'touches me' in marketing which are understood in a spiritualized way in a certain Christian context, knowing full well that when marketed in a broader Christian and secular context will be ridiculed in a way that may produce more harm than good. I reason much thought (prayer) needs to be done on these matters.



Five Worst

Quote:

'Bruno Maltise is a Chicago-based Christian musician, so he probably does know something about hit men. I’m really hoping the man in this picture is some sort of hit man, because if it is a picture of Bruno himself, I don’t think many people would go to see his concerts, and there would certainly be very few groupies around to hang out with him after the show.'

If that is Bruno or other, he looks like either perhaps:

A) A person made up with a lot of makeup to look like a movie hitman. Probably the horror/mobster genre.

B) An actual person that has been involved in several dramatic, traumatic, life incidents that figured what the heck I might as well use it to market an album.



Let me guess, does he mean drunk via the Holy Spirit? More spiritualized language perhaps? Is that moonshine?



I have had this image on a previous archived post.

'Brilliant' evangelism work Barry!


Reformed Presbyterian Mr. Matt smoking his pipe with his freedom in the Lord as he sees it.



Reformed Presbyterian/Baptist Russ having no desire to ever smoke and wondering if Mr. Matt should be doing so, even though he has the freedom in Christ to do so.

Matt is smoking the pipe upside down some kind of Vancouver non-conforminity thing?
