Yet again, rather a backlog in my 'Must blog this sometime...' files - hopefully enough here you'll find something worth pausing for thought (or a smile - sometimes more therapeutic!):
- Adrian has been sending the rest of us involved in leading worship in All Souls links to a new way of learning fresh songs - watching them on YouTube! Here's a couple of recent ones, one of them from Hillsongs, the other from Chris Tomlin.
- A couple of good cartoons courtesy of CartoonChurch.com: What the clergy do all week and What your pew says about you
- Those of you who did the Digging Deeper series on Tom Wright's book "Evil and the Justice of God", might be interested in a review (link is direct to it in pdf format) by Don Carson - it's mostly a summary of the contents (no bad thing), but there's a critique too which is worth pondering.
- An interesting piece in the Guardian online about the takeover of Tescos-and-the-like being like all-pervasive/invasive(?) weeds... "harsh but true???".
This time from Ekklesia online news is a story saying that a US court has ruled Pringle Chips are not satanic - phew! :o)
The semi-serious bit of the story comes here:
"Without examing the facts..." - I wonder how many times we all get caught out that way?The stars in fact stand for the thirteen original American colonies. But the arrangement of stars in the symbol was said to secretly spell out the Revelation 13:18 "number of the beast": 666.
Without examining the facts, many people, most notably evangelicals, signed petitions against Procter & Gamble and boycotted their products in the 1980s and 1990s.
Finally a quite brilliant piece from Hugh of gapingvoid.com - summarising a seminar he did on blogging to business leaders. If you're in business of any kind, marketing or just interested in the way the internet is changing (...has changed) the landscape completely, it's a must-read.

Sorry for the somewhat random nature of the collection... enjoy!
