President Obama leads crowd in rendition of “Amazing Grace” 

/

While giving a eulogy for one of the victims of last weeks Charleston shootings in America,  President Obama has led the gathered crowd in a rendition of “Amazing Grace”.

From the Huffington Post:

At the end of his impassioned eulogy for Pinckney, one of the nine people shot and killed at Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church last week, Obama broke into the hymn.

“If we can find that grace, anything is possible. If we can tap that grace, everything could change. Amazing grace,” he said before beginning to sing.

Oh and a quick note to our cousins across the pond…

America,

In case you were wondering. This is indeed more evidence that President Obama is cooler then David Cameron.

Tips for a Successful Christian Road Trip

/

Planning a road trip sometime with some Christian Friends? Wondering about how to behave during your Christian Road Trip?

Hopefully the following tips could help.

  1. Cheesy Christian tunes are a must for a soundtrack. At least have Classic Tribe blasting from your car as you drive.
  2. Need a snack? Pop by the fruit stall to get some fruits of the Holy Spirit.
  3. Bless anyone who cuts you up.
  4. Stopping in at McDonalds? Make sure you pray over your food.
  5. Need somewhere to stay the night? Knock on a churches door, and ask to borrow their floor for the night.
  6. Driving and feeling tired? Dont pull over for a rest, ask God for his angels to carry the car whilst you sleep*.
  7. Looking for entertainment? Look for the nearest playground.
  8. Cheesy Christian tune not working out? Listen to REM:  “Losing my Religion”.

Any more suggestions?

*Dont do this. Dont do this. Dont do this. Dont do this.

10 Games To Play At A One Day Christian Conference

/

You’re there at a One Day Christian Conference.
You could learn something, or you could play a game or two.
If you’re here, you’re probably wanting to play a game… Here’s some game ideas….

  1. Assume a different identity, every time you introduce yourself to someone. Not just a different name, but different accent, different way of walking, different way of smiling, etc…
  2. Stand in the middle of a crowd, shout for “John”. When “John” answers, walk over to him and talk to him like you’ve known him for ever.
  3. When someone is speaking during the conference, try and get from the back to the front of the hall without being seen.
  4. Do the above, whilst humming the Mission Impossible theme.
  5. See how much free stuff you can grab from the merchandise / information stands. Bonus points if you give them someone else’s contact / mailing details.
  6. Sit in the middle of the hall, make sure you hemmed in from all angles, that theres people all around, with no easy way to get in or out. At that point, grab your phone, and order a domino’s pizza.*
  7. Provide a service by arranging a charging station for everyones mobile phones.
  8. Earn money by charging people £1 per battery percent for the above service… dont tell anyone you’re basically plugged into the venues power sockets.
  9. During the morning time, offer to grab people coffee. When you return ask for a tip, if they dont tip… make them WEAR that coffee!!!
  10. Throw on some really tight exercise gear and encourage people to do a 5 minute exercise session with you.

*Bonus points if you order the pizza for the current speaker… and time it so the pizza guy comes in whilst they are speaking.

Any other game ideas?
