I've actually been told this before...


This explains why my ordination exams were so difficult!

Shout out to my homeboy C-Mac who emailed me this today. Apparantly it's a screen still from a Chinese bootleg of Star Wars Ep3. As it turns out, when "Jedi Counsel" was translated by the Chinese they went with "church of the elders" which, when translated back into English for the subtitles was translated "Presbyterian Church". Presbyterian comes from presbuteros, the greek word for elder, so actually it's quite acurate!

Thanks SCM, for the hilarious email It made my day.

Pain & Grace in the Life of Johnny Cash


Johnny Cash

My denomination is mostly southern, mostly conservative, and often out of touch with the general culture of my generation. Most of the time I feel like I don't belong. But then from time to time (and more frequently now I've noticed) they throw me a bone like this little gem from the PCA's official webzine. Reminds me that I'm in the right place and that God is a Johnny Cash fan, too.
