A Message of Hope for Christian Singles!


When I first saw this still image (above), I honestly thought she was holding onto a blowup doll. (I think it was his haircut.) Then I realized it was the street-evangelical, beat-poet who made a big splash a couple of years ago with his viral video, "Love God, Hate Religion."  Apparently he's married now and doling out relationship advice, together, with is charming wife.

In this 30-minute video recording, the newly weds respond to relationship questions from their myriad of Christian, social media followers.  Their expressions of faith, hope, and encouragement speak to a young generation of humble seekers of truth.  The question on all of their minds—how can I be single and a disciples of Jesus a the same time?  The accessible and heartfelt tone of this couple's message makes it easy to listen to, regardless of the viewer's religious denomination.  Not everyone will agree on the ontological underpinnings upon which their views are founded, but—I don't care who you are—you've got to respect what their beliefs have yielded in terms of the faithful disciples and responsible citizens they've become.
Old Twitter Proverb: "Dating without the intent of getting married is like going to the grocery store with no money—you either leave feeling unsatisfied or you end up taking something that isn't yours." (Minute 20:15)

    They're very sensible and likable people, but I was NOT expecting her voice to sound like that.

    Her voice is pretty high, huh. I, personally, got hung up on his football-helmet head of hair—so distracting! My eyes were continually being drawn to it. By the end though, I had adjusted.

    Both of these examples just stand as a testament to me that despite our physical drawbacks (or spiritual, emotional, social, mental, or whatever), we can ALL be powerful witnesses for our beliefs.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Werewolves: Variation on Mafia, the Group Game

I was first introduced to Mafia in 1995 at a Family Home Evening activity. With only 6-players in our family, we selected one Narrator, two Mafia gangsters (murder one person/night), one Detective (ask the narrator about the identity of one person/round), and sometimes we played with a Guardian Angel (who can save one person/round); everyone else were innocent citizens. THE WEREWOLVES OF MILLERS HOLLOW Review and Detailed Explanation Werewolves is essentially the same game. I played it on Monday night for an FHE activity as well. We played 2 games with 10 and 11 players respectively. Each game lasted about 10-20 minutes. IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN! I can totally see my immediate family enjoying some of the new rules associated with Werewolves . Here is a list of differences between my family's version of Mafia and the way we played it last night. Three main differences 1. New Characters 2. Voting is performed by pointing. (Much more efficient.) 3. The game is pla...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist. I've got no funk. And I’m pretty crossed up about it. In my personal quest to discover the funk I came across this bit featuring Old Gregg from The Mighty Boosh. Old Gregg observed that some groups have it for a time, and when they do, they produce timeless hits. He identified that special  something as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Disclaimer: This is weird. Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're like a breadstick. You got no rhythm. Howard: Yeah, well I've heard all this sort of stuff before thank you. Old Gregg: Well maybe I could help you. I got the funk. Howard: Yea...
