Literally: A Fresh Expression of Wedding

A few colleagues were talking about weddings the other day.  They discussed things that they had been asked to do and whether they were prepared to incorporate them into the day.  It was a bit of one-upmanship.  Who had the most crazy request?  One said that they had been asked if they could wear reenactment outfits.  I [...]

Columbo and Being Honest With Yourself

Pete Rollins just told the twitterverse that “God (or Satan, or my inner child), told me that u have2subscribe2my Vimeo or many puppies will die”.
