Taking a deep breath before the next deluge
Congratulations to all involved who just made The Bible and Myth post the most commented upon one on the site, ever. I would've read all of the comments, except I don't have 5 free hours - but they all looked good, in a mini-essay-type way. Wow! We could write our own book!
This shows me that there is a need for people to flex their mental muscles and engage in some high level (sometimes difficult to follow) dialogue, which is positive because sometimes there's little space for that in the church (who can prefer to "dumb down" intellectual conversations), and it's great we can do that here. I look forward to tracking the next conversation - whatever that may be!
So in the meantime, why don't you join me by taking a deep breath, and tell us something funny which has happened to you recently which reminds you that G-d has a sense of humour...and that you shouldn't take yourself too seriously.

our own pet and more kittens!
Hey Roger,
The things making me not take myself to seriously is "life" and "more life". My wife and I have just had our first pet of our own and our cat has just had a second litter of kittens.

Does that mean that your little squirrel is in danger of not inheriting the green rod of annointing by being eaten by a feline that you yourself have raised? It's all very (or maybe approximately, or maybe not at all) Oedipal.
get a grip
Roger, roger, roger.
I feel you have a far more accomplished jester ministry than I could hope for, plus you have willingly joined a cult/monastry in AWB territory, plus you are a total babe magnet, AND you are on certain peoples most wanted heretic lists.
Why is it that you think we should be entertaining you?
har har har
Beware the posting of pictures on the interweb - you never know how they're going to come back and bite you! Rumour has it I have a Facebook group dedicated to me called "Will I ever get a normal picture of Roger Saner?".
::bows:: Happy to entertain!
"Him that Pisseth against the wall"
Please take a moment to view this video from youtube on the important biblical truth of how men should urinate:

borat would be proud to be a baptist
Well, blow me sideways, durn and dang, and Holy Mackeral! God Bless America. The GI Baptist hath spoken verily, the urinal verses indeed appear in the KJV. However, it seems that in at least one reference, God says he "will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall" , so that his argument is the wrong way around.
So, again, I am a confused emergent. Should I piss standing up, seated, or another way that we haven't yet invented?
That was the funniest ever
I've watched that video three times and can't stop laughing when he finally gets to the end!
That video is hilarious!

"The Glory of God is man fully alive" - St Iraneaus
he has issues, oh yes he has.
What's hirarious to me is the fact that he does not see any humour in it AT ALL.
In fact, he seems to be at the end of a sermon that nobody liked, and he knows that. But instead of assuring the people or winning them back, like a good pastor would, he alientates them further with a confused and confusing rant about urination.
He has rejection (and probably all kinds of urological) issues, AND he looks and talks like George Bush.
Oh Brother, where art thou?
He pisseth into the wind
This guy has a serious problem aiming.
women standing?
I was wondering what our Baptist pastor friends would think of women standing to pee... Or perhaps we shouldn't go there...!
women standing for "it"
Hmmm....
I'm not convinced I'd like to see that but there's a morbid fascination in really, really wanting to hear his response !!!

Hi Roger, this is all still new to me, but it's about time I got on the blogging thing.
Your name has popped up with many youth pastors, etc. that I know and studied with at ICBM.
Also, I have a history at Honeyridge myself and I'm not sure if you know Glen and Nick who used to be there?
Anyways.
Keep in touch
Lee
Ah, the Honeyridge days
Hi Lee
Yes, I did know a Lee at Honeyridge, but I wonder if he was you? Or you was he? If you was he, that would make you...Lee!
Haha. It's been a long week.
Wow, youth pastors talk about me?! Gosh! Probably in glowing terms! Or maybe it's because I host the ICBM's website (which they'll probably pay me for...one day)? Ja, a few people I know have studied there over the years - and it's an interesting looking place, at any rate!
I indeed do know Glen and Nick. Nick and Lynn's picture is still on my (parents) fridge at home, on that small little island on the other side of the world where they are now ministering. I was around when Nick met Lynn and sparks flew...and also on that fateful evening when Glen met Antje. So ja, some good memories at the Honeyridge.
So what's your connection into all of this? And if you're not at Honeyridge any more, where are you now?
Hey thanks for replying. I
Hey thanks for replying.
I go way back with those 2 but I can't say it ended prettily. I am a male Lee and I had hair back then, so I'm not sure if I am the same one, Dr Seuss. I think we may also have a mutual friend in Jono Stanton-Humphreys.
At the moment I float around if anything. When I'm not working on Sundays I visit Ross Lester's church at BBC.
At the moment I am working at Exclusive Books, studying my Honours in Theology at SATS, running a small mens group on Monday nights where we take communion and pray and various other random things.
I view reducing the idea of church to any local institution as not being ideal but also think that for some people it may be a halfway necessary evil for the time being.
Cheers

Endings which leave a nasty taste
Ah Lee, I had ascribed maleness to your moniker. However, due to the lack of hair, recognition may not be forthcoming given a real-world meeting. Indeed we do have a mutual friend in Dumphries - he was instrumental in organising events which led to my sizable scar on my right elbow. I also worked with him at Cyberculture for a year.
Ross is a good guy - I'm running a youth leaders training day at BBC on May 24th, working with Ross and Troy.
My interaction with "those two" did not end well, either. Imagine that. Glen recently contacted me with some public feedback regarding my disagreement with a former colleague of his about the emerging church.Read it and weep!
Hot Air
Some first year varsity students were being forced to listen to a long and pretentious lecture by one of the senior students. He was expounding on the use of descriptive verbs as nouns for clothing.
“Do we really sneak in sneakers?” He asked, “and do we actually jump in jumpers?”
He then waited for the enormity of this last statement to sink in… a little too long though, because a student in the front row suddenly said, “before you continue would you mind taking off your wind breaker?”
