Reimagining Church

Happy Monday, Fun Seekers. Happy Monday, indeed.

As far as I know, this is the blog that first launched what’s now become the famous “STUPID QUESTION OF THE DAY.” It’s also the blog that first launched the infamous ONE WORD MONOLOGUE. As well as the unimaginable TWO WORD MONOLOGUE.

This week, however, we’re going to spice it up a bit. And we’re going to involve YOU in the process.

I’d like you to imagine that the reigns of this blog are turned over to you for one week. That’s right, you get to play “blog host” for one week.

You get to sit in the fitted, comfy black chair that I’m sitting in as I type these words.

You get to stare at the wall and come up with innovative material to post.

You get to the watch the Fanortner twinkle every time someone posts a comment that gets past the blog manager’s high standards (btw/ if you’ve not refreshed yourself on those, please do so again. She’d appreciate it.)

You get to post comments to the comments posted in the comments section.

That’s right. You get to be the blog host for this blog.

But you have one specific task before you that you cannot stray from:

You must create an *interactive* blog post that invites all of our readers to participate. So for instance: If you wish to create your own ONE WORD MONOLOGUE or your own STUPID QUESTION OF THE DAY, you may. Just tell us what it is. OR if you want to march off the map and do something different … so long as it involves the participation of everyone who reads this blog … you may do so.

And here’s the fun part. If I like your idea, I may use it for a future blog post, give you full credit, and your name just might go into the Blog Hall of Fame!

Yes indeed.

So here’s your assignment: If you were the blog host for a week, what is the participative blog post that you would write? If the creative juices are really flowing, feel free to write more than one. Since (after all) you have the reigns for a week.

I look forward to your answers.

Oh, and if it’s your first time posting here, begin your answer with the word FROG.

On the heels of my recent praise for Steve Brown as a great talk radio show host, a friend of mine encouraged me to get into talk radio. So I tried.

Once and only once. Never before and never again.

It was a first-class disaster.

This isn’t the whole show, but it’s the first phone call I got that night … and the last. Click the link below and listen to the hot-boiling phone call from a disgruntled listener. It’s less than 4 minutes long. That was the call that shattered my dream of becoming a talk radio show host! Not

Hi Fun Seekers,

Today will be our first (and *perhaps* our last) Rant and Rave Day.

You may rant and rave about anything you wish. (Provided you follow the blog manger’s rules … which can be found somewhere in scroll-down yonder.)

Our blog audience is very well adept at the art of ranting and raving. In fact, some from the house of Chloe have reported to me that a good number of you have Phds in it … and I partly believe it.

So it’s going to be a veeeeeery exciting blog. A very exciting blog, indeed.

If this is your first time commenting on this blog, begin your rant with the word FROG. And we will all clap for you.

Let the rants and the raves begin . . .

A very good Monday to you, girls and boys. A very good Monday indeed.

I hope you had a restful weekend. Today is another edition of our “one word monologue.” If you’re new with us, please read the rules on how to play.

Also, if this is your first time posting a comment here, begin your post with the word FROG.

The word for today is . . .

New Article: Are You in the Wilderness?

Most of our blog readers are between the ages of 25 and 45.

But for those who are over 50, what follows is a great exercise to keep you trim and in shape.

Also: stay tuned for Monday’s blog. We are going to do the “one word monologue” that I explained on our podcast.

Here’s the exercise:

——–

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (Our blog manager is at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.
