Preachers of the internet! I need your help!
What would a beer blessing actually sound like?
I guess I’m curious…

My Regular feature about random little things I’ve spotted online this week.
No Donald Trump has not had a sex change and started calling himself Esther! Well… I don’t think he has… Anyway, The Christian Broadcast Network has interviewed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, during which… well…
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday that it is “possible” that President Trump is meant to save the Jewish people.
He made the comments during an interview in Jerusalem with the Christian Broadcasting Network.
“As a Christian I certainly believe that’s possible,” Pompeo responded when asked whether Trump is a new Esther, who in the Bible convinced the king of Persia not to slaughter the Jewish people. ADVERTISEMENT
The CBN interview falls on Purim, a Jewish holiday that marks Esther’s story.
The CBN hosts in questioning Pompeo referred to Iran as the modern-day threat to the Jewish people. Trump last year withdrew the U.S. from the Iranian nuclear treaty and reimposed sanctions on the country.

Check out the rest at thehill.com. There’s also a video of the interview… but that acted strange for me…
Update… and a video of it on Twitter…
Alright. Typing Vicar Complains About Own Church isn’t the most earth shattering thing to ever type. This dude complained to the council… (Thanks to Jon W for finding this)
Some people give up stuff for Lent. Stuff like Facebook, swearing, and beer…
Other people take up things for Lent, things like acts of kindness, Bible Readings, and beer…
Wait a minute…
I may start canvassing opinion on if I should drink only beer for Lent next year…
What do you reckon?

Well there more “interesting” things out there, I figured I would kinda base this on my own wish list of stuff (Which for the benefit of any friends and family reading this – IS NOT THE BELOW)
Here is the Church Sofa Top 5 Christian birthday presents: (Clicking some links may provide input to the Sofa Birthday fund)
Need to open a beer and tell people about love for Jesus? This would be perfect!

It sounds like the start of a joke…
Admittingly the punchline needs some work…
Check this out from the bbc.co.uk website:
Pub bosses have apologised after asking a group of trainee priests to leave their Cardiff venue, mistaking them for a stag party in fancy dress.
The seven Roman Catholic seminarians had gone to The City Arms to toast Father Peter McClaren’s ordination when they were asked to move on.
But assistant manager Matt Morgan said they received a free round of drinks when the situation was explained.
“They were all dressed in their black and white clothes,” he said.
“The staff thought they were a stag. We do have quite a few issues on the weekends with parties wearing fancy dress so it is our policy to turn them away.”
There is a happy ending…
“The doorman basically said something along the lines of, ‘sorry gents, we have a policy of no fancy dress and no stag dos’.”
The students had started to leave when they were approached by the bar manager.
“He basically said, ‘you’re real, aren’t you?’,” said Fr Doyle.
“He invited them back in and when they walked back in the entire pub burst into a round of applause, and they had a free round off The City Arms.”
Read more on the BBC website.
I guess I have a few questions
Are groups of drunken priests wondering the local pubs an issue in your area?
Would you worry, if you saw a group of priests in your local pub?
Is there a difference between student priests and a stag party?

Some great words from Sheridan Voysey on Harvest :
A jug of beer was on hand to refill empty cups and the ‘sermon’ of sorts was given by an avid home-brewer named Joe, who lifted a pint into the air as he began to speak.
He said, “When we make and drink beer, we celebrate the grain and fine fruit of the field. We celebrate the miracle of hops, and the magic that is yeast.” Joe had my attention. I’d never heard a preacher extol the virtues of alcohol before.
He said, “When we make and drink beer, we also celebrate God’s creativity. God doesn’t make beer for us, but invites us to collaborate with him to make something new.”
