Another week means another round-up of the blog posts that inhabited my other blog, 'The Weekly Mash [and Peace!]' and the chance to catch up with any of them you may have missed out on:Monday was a combination of funny mixed with satire in the area of social justice as we got to see a video of the non-profit organisation whose mission is to get a blender into the hand of every African.Tuesday was a [...]

Best of the Mash

So my other blog, The Weekly Mash [and Peace!] has been running for close to 3 months now and it's interesting to note what the most popular posts have been so far - as each day has a different theme i thought it would be good to look at the top performer for each day in terms of visits, reads and shares and so here they are: Monday = Fun Day - Humour: It amuses [...]

I can Learn you a Thing

Sometimes in the present context of the life in which i live, there are moments where i need to just be incredibly silly for a few minutes just to remain sane. This started me on a journey with my alter ego, Brad Fish, who embarked on a series of Public Awareness video clips with the series titled 'Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect' in which each episode Brad would look at something you might not [...]

Plants vs Zombies too!

Braaaaaaaaaains... You do not have to be a big zombie fan to appreciate the delightful Popcap 'Plants vs Zombies' tower defence game which is one of the most fun and addictive games i have ever played. To be absolutely honest it was one of the activities both the beautiful Val [tbV] and myself spent a huge amount of time on our honeymoon doing together and gave us immense times of laughter and appreciation and moment [...]

Mark, my words: The request for a sign.

So we are continuing through Mark and this is a bit of a dejavu passage as Jesus repeats a miracle He has done before [feeding the crowd] but this time with a slightly smaller crowd and the disciples are still struggling to get it. To add to his frustrations his good friends the Pharisees pitch up demanding a sign leading into a deep sigh of frustration and him actually climbing back into the boat and [...]

Saturday Round Up: The week that was: Episode 10: of Nachtmusik, inspirational runners, the big gas man and slow kissing…

This felt like a really good week on The Weekly Mash [and Peace!] and so if you missed any of these, here is an opportunity to catch up: Monday was a joint post of the 'What Asian are you?' video clip which was both quite funny but also pretty inward-reflection calling and worth everyone seeing as well as the sequal to the K-MArt "Shipped my pants" ad i shared a while back. Tuesday became [...]

Mark, my words: Removing Jesus from your deaf and mute box.

As we continue through Mark we come across this interesting story with Jesus healing a man who is mute and deaf but not necessarily in the traditional way we might expect Jesus to heal someone which creates all sorts of beautiful questions and opportunities. So join me as i take a little journey through Mark chapter 7 verse 31-37: [for the next post on The Request for a Sign, click here]

the importance of listening to the preacher [especially when the preacher is you]

i refer to John 15.4 all the time: 'Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.' and i also love o use Psalm 46.10 which talks about being still and knowing that I [God] am God: 'He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I [...]

Mark, my words: Was Jesus being a jerk?

well, i know i have your attention now, but really, if you read this story you may have that impression because he really gives this woman a bit of a hard time. but then if you know Jesus at all that doesn't seem like Him, so what is the vibe? take a look with me as i take a brief read through Mark chapter 7 verses 24-30 [for the next passage that deals [...]

Saturday Round Up: The week that was: Episode 9: Feet street painting, Kevin bacon bacon, uncontexted tweets and egg bum chicken.

from this last week on The Daily Mash [and Peace!] blog i'd have to say Thursday's John Piper tweet piece would be one to look at - Friday's 'Get your fax straight' i published on this blog as well under a different title, and if you haven't watched Wednesday's Improv TED talk then that is very much worth it, as was Tuesday's piece about the inspirational feet-paint-tree-creation-on-road-in-Hong-Kong bit... so i'd start with those and catch [...]
