New BMac Album cominatcha...
Okay- for the record: I like Brian McLaren. To say a number of his books (most notably Church on The Other Side and More Ready Than You Realize) have been instrumental to me would be an understatement. But there is this one little part of Brian that kind of disturbs me... His ideas on hell? No, no... His politics? No... His ubiquitous blurbs on the back of every book published since 2001??? Again, no (but closer...) It's the guitar-playing, song-leading, let-me-teach-you-one-I-just-wrote Brian that makes me squirm a bit. God love 'im, but Brian is basically songwriter/amateur musician who happened to hit it big with his writing... and now occasionally uses the openings that provides to, uh... introduce crowds to his music. If you've ever been involved in a BMac sing along, you know what I'm talking about... So, he has a new book coming out, and a companion album with it. And I think he's been writing some songs... Here's one... It's not too bad until it hits the chorus. And then? Whoa... The chorus kind of makes me a little dizzy. Deep breath... Ok.

Don't take the bait!
So, those Team Pyro guys are still at it... And what's worse, it's devolved into berating us emerging church types for not responding in kind. Apparently, Grace's posters and mine below don't really do it for them, focused as the posters are more on what we are for rather than against, on what we're trying to be rather than mocking others for what we (mis)perceive them to be. Frank, who stopped by here on another thread and even left some nice (mostly!) comments had this to say: " centuri0n said... Also, the fact that they got nothin' in reply -- they can't even field a team -- makes me wonder where all the creative types they allegedly minister to are in all this. Apparently they have better things to do, like ministry. ... here's my guess -- they can't do it without vulgarity, pornography or blasphemy. And for the record -- I'd love to eat my words here. I'd love it if someone really, really went through the archives and made some "PyroMedia" posters which went after our many foibles. Of course this kind of thing isn't any fun when the other guy is saying, "oh gawsh -- that's HILARIOUS!"...

I am so going to rip that over to my blog this morning. Laughed out loud - glad I wasn't drinking milk.

I did spit a little coffee out.

Bob, this is too funny not to rip off. It is showing up on my blog this weekend. The style of drawing looks familiar to the one you posted over at PastorHacks?
Where are you getting these.
