I saw this on Jeff Leake’s blog, The Launch Pad. He said that he was not recommending this counseling methodology…but I like it.

Saw this YouTube clip over on Josh Griffin’s blog (which he saw on someone else’s blog, who, I think, saw it somewhere on Facebook…) Really creative, but I wasn’t sure what the ending was supposed to mean.

And – just to save you a minute, if you’ve been trained like my children to wait to the end of the credits before you leave the theater – the last minute of this video is all credits, nothing else. Feel free to leave.

Happy Thanksgiving!

No, not Happy Turkey Day. The only happy turkeys are…well, you can’t be a happy turkey. Either you’re dead or you’re still a turkey. Not a great choice. The point of the day is not to celebrate turkeys, it’s to celebrate thanksgiving…you know, the giving of thanks.

And it’s not just the giving of thanks, but giving thanks to our Creator, our Maker, the One who provides life and all the good things we enjoy.

Like turkey (and dressing and mashed potatoes and football and the Gators and – you get the idea).

To repeat myself, we don’t celebrate turkeys, we kill them.

That would also make this a good day to kill the Turkey Spirit. That would be the attitude that doesn’t give thanks, that takes things for granted, that complains at everything, that is awed by nothing.

That’s the intro to this clip, which is perfect for Thanksgiving, and which I may use the next time I preach about complaining.

(Honestly, this has to be one of my favorite clips ever.)

I think you have to make up your own joke about this guy. Except it’s not really him singing. It would be cooler (and slightly more disturbing) if it was. But it’s actually a group called Moosebutter. Still, it’s a pretty good video if you haven’t seen it.
