Stuff Christians Like

on August 12th, 2008

Stuff Christians Like is such a brilliant blog. You should really read it. With posts like Christian Emoticons, The Prayer Ninja and The Dude that Drinks The Water and Gets Sick on Mission Trips it is a must read blog. I wish I was half as funny as Jon – here’s a clip from one of his recent best:

Dear dude that drinks the water,

We were all told about 836 times by our youth minister not to drink the local water when we went on our mission trip. We were told our stomachs were not used to the different type of water they have there. The consequences of digesting water and dairy products were graphically spelled out by the youth volunteer that wanted to scare us.

We made t-shirts that said, “Just say no to H20″ and even had that motivational speaker, “Mr. H2-Whoa” come in. Remember him, he had that partner of his “Fire hose Frank?” They threw water balloons at us for like an hour until we were finally “soaked with knowledge” about the danger of ingesting water we did not know the origins of.” Any of that ringing a bell?

Probably not, since this afternoon, during one of our breaks on the mission trip, I saw you eating an ice cream cone and drinking out of a hose someone had attached to a fire hydrant. Are you kidding me? We both know what’s going to happen. This is what happens every mission trip we go on. (And don’t tell me it’s because you’re embracing the culture or that it was an accident. Accidents like that happen on mission trips and that’s not what I’m talking about. And this has nothing to do with you nobly engaging with the culture. This is about a hose.)

Personally, I liked Understanding your metrosexual worship leader. http://stufffchristianslike.blogspot.com/2008/06/269-understanding-how-metrosexual-your.html

It is a great site though.
