Again, social media has proven itself infinitely valuable. From one of my Facebook friends to another, with the simple question, “Wanna see something jiggly?”  My day has been made.

From what I understand, this tyke speaks no English.  And he has something going on with his nose.  Cutest ever. Huge thanks to my friend Paula Coyle for making my day with this gem.  And just for context, here’s the original by Jason Mraz.  Great tune…

Once in awhile I run into a performance that reminds me again why great art is important.  It causes me to worship the Great Creator of all artists, the Root of all beauty.  This performance is one of those. Theresa Andersson is harnessing technology to redefine the “one-woman-band” motif.  Not focussed on the craziness of the [...]

This guy has some serious guts.  Or a social disorder.  Either way, he’s kind of my hero right now. Kenny Strasser (who sometimes goes by Kevin Strassberg) is a mystery.  One thing is certain… a yo-yo master he ain’t.  However, through a fake website, some fallacious “testimonials,” and a phone call from his “agent,” Kenny/Kevin [...]

  When I was a kid, my parents didn’t want us to watch Scooby Doo.  They thought it would leech our brain cells by its very nature:  predictable, ridiculous, low-brow, bad art.  They foresaw our IQ dropping steadily every Saturday morning, ultimately resulting in our academic failure at some institution of higher learning, thereby ensuring [...]

I have this dream sometimes. It’s usually back in the last church I served as worship leader.  People are gathered in their seats and ready to start a service.  I am supposed to be leading the service, but I have no Team.  I haven’t planned anything.  It’s quiet.  Someone coughs a little.  Awkward.  Oh yeah… [...]

When Katherine Bigelow got her second chance at the mic last night, shortly after winning “Best Picture” for “The Hurt Locker,” my wife and I were more than a little worried. “Oh boy… oh, she’s… she’s in trouble.  She’s going over… Oh boy.  She’s in shock.” She looked ill.  And unsteady on her feet.  Maybe [...]

And I thought choreography on treadmills was clever.  Rube Goldberg FTW! “This Too Shall Pass” by OK Go.  Creativity on display makes me smile.  WOW.

Deliver me, O Lord, from pride.  Deliver me, Lord, from idolatry.  Deliver me from the worship of the music we use to worship.  Even without my drums or my voice, You are enough.  If You take away the platform, You are still good.  If it’s You and me in a closet, I am more than [...]
