This past week on The Weekly Mash [and peace!] – my other blog.

So subscribers of Irresistibly Fish [this blog] may or may not know that i started another blog three weeks ago called 'The Weekly Mash [and peace!]' which has a regular focus - so each day each week will have the same focus with Monday being something fun, Tuesday being a news-related post, Wednesday having something to do with relationships, Thursday having a God-focused, Jesus-following aspect and then Friday being 'My Day' where i can blog [...]

Mark, my words: Jesus walks on water

Jesus has just fed a crowd of more than 5000 people using one child's lunch so how does He follow that up? By slowing things down and spending time with His Father, feeding His soul and replenishing His batteries... after which He is right back at it as He catches up with His crew by taking a stroll on the lake to meet them... Come and take a listen as we read Mark 6 verse [...]

Taboo Topics: Singleness – meet Alexa O S Russell aka ‘Is there space for Bridget Jones at church?’

Lex: Being single in a world and a community where relationships are celebrated and held up in high regard can be incredibly difficult…particularly when your single status is not a conscious choice, but rather a default at this point in life! People chuckle (and relate!) when you refer to your self as having a Bridget Jones kind of moment – the moment where you want to eat yourself silly on chocolate, or drink too much [...]

Do not poo on the floor [and other rules in my office]

we currently share an office with another non-profit in Oakland, California and have been there a few weeks but it was only this week that i took notice of this do's and dont's sign on the wall... i think it speaks largely for itself. do not poop on the floor, use a toilet [my question is WHO USED TO USE THIS OFFICE BEFORE US that they had to have that kind of sign put up?] [...]

Finding Dory

if you haven't heard the news by now, Ellen DeGeneres has finally got her wish [after hints of a varying degree of subtlety and not-so-much for years on her show] and Pixar will be making a sequel to the 2003 animated hit 'Finding Nemo' in which of course Ellen voiced the character of Dory, this quirky and likeable but amnesiac blue regal tang fish called Dory. the sequel is going to be called 'Finding Dory' [...]

Throwing stones at Joel Osteen after checking it’s okay with Uncle Google.

i have called Google 'Uncle Google' for a long time now - i'm not sure why i do that cos it's very silly but it's become my thing [which is probly why i do that]. i guess one reason is that when someone asks me something i don't know i will either tell them to ask Uncle Google or i say that i will and it feels like bringing another person into the conversation. i [...]

Mark, my words: The feeding of a crowd with no, or little, food.

When trying to feed a big gathering of people, it is normally essential that you plan way in advance and consider things like seating, table settings, courses of food, what time the function will start, who has been invited and the like... Jesus decides to skip all that by throwing an impromptu crowd feeding... did i mention that He attempts this without food? [Don't worry, He passes the buck to His disciples - "You feed [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (Colour)

black and white definitely holds something special and extra for me in terms of being able to convey the depth of thought and seriousness in the picture on the left or the heightened mystery and intrigue of the pose in the picture on the right. the shadows in both add a stronger presence to the pictures. when it comes to injecting colour though: for me the picture on the left, which has not been worked [...]

a long walk to free some [maybe me?]

last nite i was invited by some new friends we've made here to join the Oakland City Watch team in a walk they do around the neighborhood [we live on 61st Ave and we walked around the streets closer to 90th so not crazy far away] that has three messages for the people of the community: # We care! # We want to see an end to violence, especially gun violence! # How can we [...]

Mark, my words: John loses his head

Rule number 1 when trying to keep your head attached to your body - don't piss off the king. More importantly, do not piss him off directly to his face by telling him exactly how you think he is publically sinning. If you do happen to inadvertently do that, be sure to be interesting enough when talking about God and life and the kingdom that he will keep you around out of curiosity and actually [...]
