Saturday Round Up: The week that was: Episode 5: of Pant-Shipping and universal faith, signs of understanding and boxes full of plastic balls and strangers.

so my new 'The Weekly Mash [and Peace!]' blog is still in its early days but it's been encouraging to see new people subscribing almost daily - as it is still quite new though not a lot of people are visiting each of these posts and there have been some amazing things there, so if you are someone who reads stuff on Irresistibly Fish [my main blog] all the time, then i encourage you to [...]

How much sex in marriage?

So i got this comment at the bottom of the recent 'Singleness' Taboo Topic posted and approved it and started replying, but then thought that responding to 'How much sex in marriage?' on a Singleness post might be stretching the boundaries of love and sensitivity and so i decided to deal with is directly as a separate post... [singles are welcome to read, because maybe this will help]. So the comment i received is below, [...]

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 [...]

on why rape [and violence to women in general] HAS to be taken seriously, part 3: conversation with Claudine

on why rape [and violence to women in general] HAS to be taken seriously, part 1: attack on my wife

my wife was attacked in the street yesterday. fortunately not physically and thank God there were two Latino guys in a car nearby that she was eventually able to get to come to her assistance but even then they didn't really know what to do and the [can only assume he was completely drugged up] guy continued to threaten. many, many thoughts on this and the closest to the foreground is complete and utter thankfulness [...]

Lars and the real girl church

so last nite tbV and i finally watched the movie 'Lars and the real girl' which had come highly recommended by our Philly friend Janell Anema and it was indeed well worth the watch. Ryan Gosling [who i have been completely against since he starred in 'The Notebook' which is a movie which irritated me beyond belief for reasons that most people don't really care much about] is phenomenal as Lars, who is a likeable [...]

Coffee with Jesus: Something real

i have seen these 'Coffee with Jesus' comic strips around every now and then and have generally found them to be thort-provoking and profound and more recently my friend Robert has been sharing some that i have really liked and so i intend to stick a few on here from time to time... hopefully they will provoke more thort and even some action as they provide a bit of a mirror for those of us [...]
