LifeSaver Man
I’ve got this thing with my oldest son. It’s become a tradition over the last few months. Whenever Cru comes to visit me in my study at the church, or when we pop into my study after services on Sunday mornings, I give Cru half a LifeSaver. I don’t know why, but I keep LifeSavers in my study.
This is background to a funny conversation I had with Cru two nights ago:
ME: Cru, do you know what my job is? What does daddy do?
CRU: You give people LifeSavers. You’re LifeSaver Man!
Cru’s answer made me laugh. It also made me think that my son’s answer isn’t that far off the mark. One of the great priveleges of being a pastor is being used of God to save lives through gospel preaching and care.
By God’s call and grace, I get to be a LifeSaver Man who points other people to the ultimate LifeSaver Man.
Tullian Tchividjian Talks, Buzzard Eats
A few weeks ago at The Gospel Coalition conference I enjoyed eating lunch with Tullian Tchividjian (see the new CT profile) and some other dudes. Tullian is a great guy. Today a friend on Facebook pointed out that the brief interview Resurgence did with Tullian at the table has me eating a hamburger in the background. Oops. I thought I was out of camera view.

My Cagefighter Twin
Joe Thorn sent me an email today, saying that when he first saw the photo of this Mixed Martial Arts fighter (the guy on the right), he thought it was me. What do you think?

The Humor of the Christian
“Any alleged Christianity which fails to express itself in gaiety, at some point, is clearly spurious. The Christian is gay, not because he is blind to injustice and suffering, but because he is convinced that that these, in light of the divine sovereignty, are never ultimate…Though he can be sad, and often is perplexed, he is never really worried. The well-known humor of the Christian is not a way of denying the tears, but rather a way of affirming something which is deeper than tears.”
-Elton Trueblood, The Humor of Christ
Friday Night with Brian Regan
My wife and I are spending our Friday night listening to/watching Brian Regan. Brian Regan is our favorite comedian. His comedy is both clever and clean.
If you’ve not yet encountered Brian Regan’s comedy, here are 3 things you can do to change that sad fact:
1. go here to learn more about Regan
2. Watch the clip below to experience Regan
3. Order Regan’s newest DVD, Brian Regan: Standing Up. (Tonight we’re watching his earlier work, I Walked on the Moon)
