i like feel-good stories, because they make me feel good. Hence the name. In a world that dramatises and is so quick to share negative stories and attrocities, i think we need a lot more feel-good news reporting and so i want to take more opportunities to highlight them on my blog when i see them... this is clearly going to be a movie in the making but it seems like a case of someone [...]
so this list of new brett andy's came out pretty quickly after the last one but mostly courtesy of two eight hour driving trips to the wild goose fest and back and i think as a whole this is a pretty decent collection, but which one or two stand out for you as the really funny ones [if any]? “Pay a R10 fine or take a chance,” my girlfriend read aloud off the Monopoly card.

i thoroughly enjoy stories of hope and unselfishness and here is one of them... inspiring stuff...
this is an article written by shane claiborne for relevant magazine that encourages the church to get creative in their imagination of what a new world could look like - what are you dreaming up?

so once upon a time there was a guy called jack handey who wrote some classic mostly one liners which were funny and random and sometimes both all at once... this inspired me to try my own and we are on the seventh round of voting - so if any of these make you smile or laugh or think about laughing really loudly then please let me know in a comment which ones do it [...]
so, in the divine way that coincidences seem to work at times, this last week i heard from my new friend matt about a guy called peter rollins and then a day or so later my tag team buddy sean posts a comment to me in the facebook 'worshipping community' group about peter rollins... i really liked the provocativenessity of it so thort i'd share it... Peter Rollins retells the parable of Jesus and the [...]
