Church History in 4 minutes

I wish I'd had done this but hat/tip to Rev. Bosco Peters of New Zealand for blogging and tweeting this video...

    Pretty good! Not sure how Obama or the Obama girl landed a spot in a 4 minute Church history, but pretty good!

    Thanks for reposting my video!... I made this as a gift for our senior pastor when he finished up a 21 week sermon series on church history (1 century per week), so it's focused around the topics he covered.

    (And @ Kevin -- I don't even know who or what the "Obama girl" is, but Obama's there, along w/ many other images, to go w/ the lines "Overwhelmed by information, who will save this generation". Just a visual comment on the line.)

    Glad you enjoyed it!

    Janet, being a Lost fan, my personal favorite was the picture of John Locke for John Locke.

    John Locke was hilarious. At first I said, "Huh?" then I got it.

    @Janet, Google "Obama girl." It sure looked like she flashed on their for a second just before or after the President. Again, I said, "huh?"

    But if you made the video and never heard of her, it must have been someone else, acting Obama girlish.

    @Kevin -- Googled "Obama girl," and nope, had no idea who she was, and there's no shot of her in the video. (There is a fraction-of-a-second neck down shot of a girl wearing a t-shirt that says "too much information" -- maybe that's what you saw?)

    Glad you liked John Locke! I couldn't resist...

Response to Toby [not disagreement]

The following was posted separately because of it's length. Long-windiness is one of my spiritual gifts. Toby's wish for a clear decision on the issue of PUP via Ms. Larges is a good and long sought after desire. Unfortunately as one who has filed charges as well as one who sat on PJC's it's not all that clear-cut. Here's what may or may not happen. The group that voted against the action of the Presbytery files a complaint alleging Presbytery took action that constituted an "irregularity" or "delinquency" [1] . Assuming the complaint is sustained [ agreed with ] Presbytery takes a "do over" and Ms. Larges comes back again to argue in favor of being declared, "Certified to receive a call". If not sustained, then those who complained at first can appeal. Assuming an appeal, it will be with the Synod of the Pacific's PJC [the same that refused a stay in Kathleen Morrison's ordination and merely slapped Ms Spahr...

Escaping the Night

  Concetta Antico is a rarity. She has a fourth type of cone in her eye which enables her to see some 99 million colors, where most of us see about a million, [1] An eagle can see a rabbit from about 2 miles away. Then again their vision is eight-times that of ours. Polar bears can track seals by smell for 20+ kilometers [2] . My dog, Missy, heard my dad’s truck turn onto our street which was about .2 of a mile. It gave her time to jump out of my dad’s chair, stretch, and leisurely greet him at the door. That’s because dogs hear higher frequencies than we do. Right now, few, if any of us give a thought about the sheer numbers of things that are touching us and we have no control over it. Various electromagnet waves from TV, radio, Wi-Fi, light, sound, and all the rest of a reality we can’t understand because it is hard to learn all that needs to be understood. And when you start thinking about quantum mechanics things get even more complicated in my case. Spiritual Reality I...

Following Christ

 Tim Wu in his 2016 book “Attention Merchants” as a world in which “You don’t sell things to people, you sell people to advertisers (Wu in Harris).” Google, Microsoft, and Facebook didn’t invent the idea, they just took it to another level.  The start was in the 1830s with the birth of the New York Sun . They undersold their competition, charging a penny, and funded the production of their newspaper with advertising sales. What made them really unique was they went after news that appealed to the masses, “This meant stories about ‘melancholy’, suicides, and lewd murders. Anything to grab eyeballs (Harris).” According to Forbes, and other marketing journals, most of us saw 4,000 to 10,000 ads each day. You may not even realize some were advertisements. Last year was hard for many people. Even those like myself who were out in public found things to be strange and odd. Activities, events, vacations, parties, family gatherings, even funerals had the chance to explode into horr...
