Continuing my 'Tradition'...

...of filing here things that might be useful later, check out a blunt retelling of that lovely Christmas story!

A Clayton's Post

It seems silly that Google can't figure out that our website should be the first hit on a search for us, but I'll do my bit to help them.

What I share in common with Obama

"This is not how I expected to wake up this morning," he said. "After I received the news Malia walked in and said, 'Daddy, you won the Nobel Peace Prize, and it is Bo’s birthday.'

"And then Sasha added, 'Plus, we have a three-day weekend coming up'. It's good to have kids to keep things in perspective."

Bo is their one-year-old dog. Our Quack is one this month. And our kids regularly puncture our vanity ;-)

The Assurance of Saving

Yes, saving. As opposed to salvation. Because, apparently, they are opposed.

I spent US$1.98 the other day buying some music from Sovereign Grace Ministries' resource page, and used my credit card. A$2.55, in case you're wondering.

The next time I went to use my card, the bank had put a block on it because of this suspicious transaction! It tickled my irony bone...they were unsure about a transaction with a group that are big on assurance...they wanted to save me money in case somebody unscrupulous was behind that purchase from SOV GRACE RESOURCES...

Giggle.

But seriously - that's the world's take on assurance, right there. It's measured in dollar signs.

I'm sorry, world, but are you kidding?

The press tells us that Madonna is now going out with a guy called Jesus. And she's old enough to be his mother.

OK, Freudians, where do you want to start with that one?!

Just when it looked like there was a new post on this blog...

Looks like I now have to work on two blogs...so to save duplication, you might want to go here for some thoughts on the ethics of eschatology-shaped evangelism.
