Michael Jensen has been putting together a list of a bunch of blogs written or contributed to by Moore College Students. It’s an interesting and eclectic list.

One of the sites in this compilation I came across has to do with the perennial problem of church music – what is it for, how do you do it well, and what are the really sucky things that should never be done anywhere? What are The Rules?

A taste:

If you are a double clapper, just cut it out. Clap on the beat if you want, but if you think it’s a good idea to bust out a double clap at the end of the line, or the double-time clap in the bridge (who does that!?), then your hands should be gaffa-taped to your sides until you learn your lesson.

I don’t know who it’s by, but it’s a cracker.

Just for Freney

Sweet.

After my last post, I noticed this interesting bit of information about how people have found this site:

I might be turning up in people’s Covenant Eyes reports sometime soon.

I’ve had a post pretty much like this rattling around in my head since the Engage conference, but Bathgate beat me to it:

Accusations of Heresy

Perhaps the fact that I’ve finished my essay, and he’s procrastinating from his, had something to do with it. Regardless, he said pretty much what I’ve been thinking, and said it well. Have a read.

Bathgate nails it.

I’m getting more frustrated with Accordance by the day. Not with maps – with the core stuff.

Perhaps some competition will help things along.

The types of competitions people around the world come up is really quite extraordinary (cf. crazy Japanese game shows, as seen on Youtube).

The following picture comes from an amazing blog you should subscribe to: the Boston Globe’s Big Picture. It’s ‘news stories in photographs’, sourced from news feeds & agencies from all over the world. The pictures are staggeringly good: thought-provoking, heart-warming, shocking, fascinating.

This last set of photos was of surfing competitions from around the world. One example:

The caption on this photo?

Note that? The largest surfing competition for dogs.

As in more than one.

Wow.
