Friday Frivolity: Making a song and dance of things…
I’ve posted videos of song and dance numbers before, but I think this is my favourite…

A few weeks ago I did a post on the subject of Christians and tattoos, linking to a couple of articles which addressed that question from different perspectives. As a result, some of my Christian friends started talking about their tattoos on Facebook…
Despite my own feelings on the subject, I found the whole thing fascinating. So, in a follow-up post, I asked people to submit a picture of their tattoo and the story behind it. Below are the three submissions I received.
Don’t worry, that wasn’t one of them… 🙂

Last week I posted the audio from Dr. Michael Barber’s Theology On Tap. In this most recent Theology On Tap series we also had Matt Franklin come and give a presentation. His talk was called “Sweet Surrender: Are you a fan or follower of Jesus?”

A lot of people know about the Book of Mormon, but what’s the “Book of Abraham”?
I remember watching an episode of the TV show “QI” several years ago where the host, Stephen Fry, in a flabbergasted fashion explained to the panelists and audience that the Catholic Church denounces superstition. From his atheistic viewpoint he couldn’t see any different between spirituality and superstition.
A couple of days ago there was a great article by Michelle Arnold on this topic of superstition which I think is well worth a read:
As Catholics we have a rich faith with a wealth of devotions, but these can all-too-easily devolve into mechanistic superstition where we treat God and the Saints as our personal genie.
What do you think we can do to stop this happening?
