Since I posted “Dad’s Life” yesterday, I thought I should publish one for the Moms’ today.  This one is even funnier!

Dad Life

   Posted by: Matthew Rathbun

Awhile back I posted a video called Swagger Wagon because I thought it was a funny hip-hop video on family life.  Not to be out done the amazing people at ChurchontheMove.com created a video called “Dad Life”.  It’s pretty funny, too!

Traditions Can Be Funny

This guy is pretty funny… It’s amazing what we don’t think about when it’s “traditional”.

Starting Off Right

   Posted by: Matthew Rathbun Tags: ,

Anyone who has read this blog knows that I’m not a traditionalist.  I’m excited to be a Christian and know there are times to be solemn, but it’s not the norm.  I’ve often wondered why weddings seem so similar to funerals.

Someone posted this video on Facebook and so far it’s had over 4.5 million views.  Why?  Because people love different approaches, energy and happiness are contagious.  I wish I had thought of this…or was able to dance.  Although it’s evident in this video, that the inability to dance was not lending itself to inhibition here.

What would Jesus Twitter?

   Posted by: Matthew Rathbun Tags: , , ,

I am usually not a fan of re-blogging, but occasionally I come across something so funny or creative, that I can’t help myself.  I came across Greg Steir’s blog today and found his post about the possibility of Jesus Twittering.  I had to share it…

Do you think Jesus would have been on Twitter if it was available while He was on earth? Interesting question with an unknowable answer. But if had been on Twitter I would love to read His “tweets.” I’m sure they would have been much better than the ones I will propose. Actually they would have been perfect. But here is my goofy, hypothetical shot at it:

“Been hanging at the temple for the last 3 days. Mom and dad just found me. They’re ticked.”

“40 days without food. Satan doing a full court temptation press. Does he really think he can win?”

“Made a whip, flipped some tables and drove out a ton of religious rip offs. I love my job.”

“Just healed ten lepers,only one came back to thank me. Nothing worse than ungrateful ex-lepers.”

“5 loaves + 2 fishes x the power of God = Fish and Chips for 5,000! Thanks for your lunch kid!”

“Want to make Pharisees mad? Heal a guy with a withered hand on the Sabbath or just preach truth.”

“Got laughed at because I said a dead girl was sleeping. Guess what? She just woke up!”

“Judas just got upset that a former prostitute ‘wasted’ expensive perfume on me. He doesn’t get it.”

“Revealed my glory to 3 disciples. Moses & Elijah showed. Peter wanted to set up a tent. Crazy Pete!”

“Rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Sure, they’re waving palm branches now. Give them a week.”

“Just rose from the dead. Can’t find my disciples. I heard they all went fishing. Go figure.”

“Showed Thomas my scars. He’s not doubting anymore.”

“Watching my disciples as I ascend to heaven. They look helpless. Will send Holy Spirit soon.”

I encourage you to go read his blog at http://www.gregstier.org, and I found him on Twitter as @gregstier

Funny Atheist

   Posted by: Matthew Rathbun

I got this e-mail today:

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

   In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days.  He hired an      attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. The case was brought before a judge.  After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring,”Case
dismissed!”
     The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying,  “Your
honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case?  The Christians have
Christmas, Easter and others.  The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and
Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays.”
     The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, “But you DO.  Your
client, counsel, is woefully ignorant.”
    The lawyer said, “Your Honor, we are unaware of any special
observance  or holiday for atheists.”
     The judge said, “The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day.
Psalm 14:1 states, ‘The fool says in his heart, there is no God..’ Thus, it                          is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God,
then he is a fool.  Therefore, April 1st is his day.  Court is adjourned!
     
     This is too good not to forward.
