My Dad emailed me this today having read it on (his new favourite site) Belfast Forum.  It made me laugh out loud. A lot.

Can you imagine the nun sitting at her desk grading these papers, all the while trying to keep a straight face and maintain her composure!

Pay special attention to the wording and spelling if you know the Bible even a little you’ll find it hilarious! It comes from a Catholic Elementary School test! Incorrect spelling has been left in.

1. In the first book of the Bible, Guinnesses. God got tired of creating the world so he took the sabbath off.

2. Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. Noah’s wife was Joan of Arc. Noah built and arc and the animals came on in pears.

3. Lot’s wife was a pillar of salt during the day, but a ball of fire during the night.

4. The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with unsympathetic genitals.

5. Samson was a strong man who let himself be led astray by a jezebel like Delilah.

6. Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the apostles.

12. The greatest miracle in the bible is when joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.

17. Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption.

18. St John the Blacksmith dumped water on his head.

19. Jesus enunciated the golden rule which says do unto others before they do one to you. He also explained that man does not live by sweat alone.

20. It was a miracle when Jesus rose from the dead and mangaed to get the tombstone off the entrance.

21. The people who followed the Lord were called the 12 decibels.

22. The epistles were the wives of the apostles.

So true . . .

7 July 2009 · Leave a Comment

This post by Jon Acuff is scarily true, cuts a little too close to the bone for me even.

Stuff Christians Like: #570. Getting disappointed when you don’t have a life changing moment on a retreat..

Fourth song, fourth song and nothing God? Really? I keep going to that place inside me where I find you most and it’s just calm and peaceful. It’s still and quiet, but I was kind of hoping for something turbulent right now God, some sort of fireworks and life change that exploded out of me. But if that’s not happening, I’m willing to negotiate. How about one or two small sentences of just fresh wisdom? Kind of like a fortune cookie of faith. Can I get one of those?

Read it all. Funny but really challenging.

I fall into this mentality all the time and have to drag myself out of it. More and more I’m realising that it’s not at the big events with the flashy lights, altar calls and bucket loads of tears that I meet with God; it’s in the quiet and solitude of my day to day life.

Sure there have been some ground shaking moments but they are few and far between and it’s not them that keep me going, it’s daily turning to God.

The Sound Guy Neck Crane

13 March 2009 · Leave a Comment

Okay, another good one from John Acuff:

Stuff Christians Like: #507. The Sound Guy Neck Crane.

What with spending a lot of time in the sound box, I can say that this one is so totally true!!

Whether it is sound or projection, there is nothing worse than everybody staring at you when it all goes wrong – I can see the screen and hear the feedback just as well as you, give me chance and I’ll do my best to sort it – your glower will not speed up the process!

Maybe next time it all goes wrong and people turn to look, I’ll stare straight back at them and not fix anything, until they can’t take it any longer and have to look away again . . .
