ASBO Jesus

Sometimes, we take ourselves too seriously.  We are all guilty of it, but recently I found this site which satirizes excellently some of the views we as Christians hold. In cases like this, we need to laugh at ourselves, and be able to recognise the silliness that we are trying to defend.

So please, have a look, with an open mind, and see how many of the cartoons sort of apply to you, I know I found a few which made me think

As has been pointed out by my reader (thanks Annette) I didn’t include the link.  I have given myself a stern talking to, and now here it is

It’s good to be back

After almost a month of computer hell, My switch from Tiscali to O2 has gone through, and finally I have broadband again.  More to come later, right now fot to dash to a service

Brodband problems

Well, off to a good start.  Mybroadband has been down for 5 days, and will be at least another 9 before its working again, so I’m using a dial up connection for essentials.

 More posts when broadband is fixed.

A definition of Church holidays

Ok, having listened to the radio, driven past McDonalds, and talked to a few people today, I though it was an idea to offer a religious and a secular definition of certain Christian holidays

Christmas Day - A day to praise God for the gift of his son, Jesus Christ to the world

X-mas Day - Sponsored by major retailers, a day to try to bankrupt yourself and outdo all your relatives on who can buy the biggest, most expensive, tackiest presents.

Shrove Tuesday - The day before Ash Wednesday, a day when we traditionally would feast before 40 days of fasting for Lent

Pancake Day - A day to squeeze loads of lemons, pour sugar all over pancakes, and make idiots of ourselves trying to toss them in the air, and scrape them off the Kitchen ceiling

Ash Wednesday - The start of Lent

Huh, When?

Good Friday - The day Christ was crucified for our sins

Hot cross bun day - Starts in january, and normally stops in December

Easter Sunday - The day when Jesus’s disciples saw him after he had risen from the dead.

Easter - a day to stuff yourself stupid on chocolate eggs, rabbits and anything else you can think of.  Sales start as soon as the Christmas sales end, and finish just in time for the summer holidays sales.

I would like suggestions for other holidays, especially if you can think of secular equivalents.

Hello world!

Well, I guess everyone thinks they might enjoy their 15 minutes of fame, so here are my musings on life and what happens to us.  All names are changed to protect the innocent, any resemblance to real events is purely coincidental, blah blah blah.  You get the idea, I’m sure.
