Starstruck & Blind With Celebrity Worship
Celebrity worship is a thing.
Just like social media addiction is a thing, there is a newly identified psychological condition: Celebrity Worship Syndrome (CWS).
Sure, it’s been going on for years in our culture. I’m sure you’ve seen old footage of the Beatles playing a concert with their frenzied fans entranced in worship… Read More
Our Weird Collections
We Christians (in the U.S.) are known for certain patterns of weirdness – and one of our weird tendencies is collecting stuff.
It’s very American, but it doesn’t look much like Jesus at all.
From celebrities who can’t stop purchasing shoes to guys who have more Hawaiian shirts than there are days of the year, we love to collect and accumulate… Read More
I Wish We Were Weird Like That
I wish we Christians would be weird differently.
We’re all weird. I am, that’s for sure.
People generally think I’m weird when I talk about not liking white things that spread (mayo, miracle whip, sour cream, cream cheese).
Nobody agrees with me when I say, “I don’t like Tom Hanks as an actor.” Instead, people walk away thinking, “That guy is weird.”
And then I have this thing where I enjoy sleeping in jeans – not all the time, but sometimes it’s nice. My wife really thinks this is weird.
But I’m not talking about that kind of weird today.
Everybody has quirks. We’d all be pretty robotic and boring without our little idiosyncrasies.
I’m taking aim at Christians (in the U.S.) in general. We are known for certain patterns of weirdness… Read More

One of my favorite discoveries of 2013 has to be “Tambourine Guy.” He’s perfectly delightful and entertaining in Postmodern Jukebox’s vintage Motown cover of Roar. He makes another appearance in this mashup of 2013 hit songs… Read More
God Is Perfectly Comfortable Entering Our Dirty Mess
A few years ago, I visited the apartment of a some college guys from my church.
To be honest, I was shocked. I’d never seen anything dirtier or messier. The cupboards were empty and the sink was overflowing with dirty dishes. The apartment smelled bad. There wasn’t adequate lighting and it was dark in there.
I tried to mask what I was feeling; I tried to act as if this was all normal to me.
Then one of the guys said, “Sit down PB! Make yourself comfortable.”
I looked at the couch. It was covered with crumbs and stains and miscellaneous articles of clothing (dirty of course).
On the inside, I was having a mild panic attack… Read More
