Crunchy, Crunchy!

Do you need a new song for your bus? Songs are an important part of a bus program.

Here are the lyrics to the ever-popular Potato Chip, Peanut Butter:

Potato chip, potato chip.
Crunchy, crunchy!
I love Jesus a bunchy, bunchy!
Peanut butter, peanut butter.
Creamy, creamy!
I hate the devil, he’s a meany, meany! 

And here's He's a Peach of a Savior:

He’s a peach of a Savior,
He’s the apple of my eye.
He prunes back my branches,
When my branches get too high.
He bears His fruit in season,
And His love will never die.
And that’s why I’m bananas for the Lord!

Got Jesus?

A Cincinnati high school football coach angrily confronted the opposing student rooting section in response to the fans’ chants of “We’ve got Jesus!” immediately following their game on Friday. Tom Bolden, head coach of Cincinnati (Ohio) Colerain, reacted with fury at the chant by fans of inner-city rival St. Xavier Catholic following St. Xavier’s 17-14 win.

According to the Enquirer, the St. Xavier chant came in response to an earlier chant by the Colerain student section of “We’ve got girls!” Xavier is an all-male, Jesuit school.

What Would Jesus Play?

A Maryland woman said she was surprised to find what appears to be an image of Jesus Christ on the top of a used Nintendo Entertainment System she purchased on eBay for $31.

“We were inspecting it for cracks/damage and when we turned it just right into the light, the image showed up,” she said. “Our reaction was mainly curiousity at first. Then as we looked at it closer and ruled out what it couldn’t be, we began to get excited about it.”

While Wampler dismissed the possibility that this was done as some sort of a joke (she also says she didn't create the image), she isn't exactly sure she believes it is the result of some higher power either.

Stewardship of Shaky Ground

It's marvelous that the Church of the Brethren Outdoor Ministries supports the total ministry of the church including education, evangelism, peace education, and stewardship of all resources. But a bit sad when a COB group can't find a place to meet at a COB Camp. But then, if you're going to scoff at stewardship of your resources, maybe you're just looking for a naturally pleasing environment.

If You Respect

Let's all agree that Pat Robertson is, at best, on shaky ground.
