Friday Frivolity: Thank Goodness We’ve Moved On!

TOT: Apocalypse Now?
Last month, Dr. Michael Barber gave a talk at Theology On Tap.
Dr. Barber has spoken at Theology On Tap several times in the past (“Understanding The Mass” and “Spiritual Lessons About Politics”), as has his wife (“Mary, Saints, Angels and More!”).
Attached below is the audio of Dr. Barber’s latest talk, entitled “The Book of Revelation and the Mass”, where he deals with some of the misconceptions concerning this final book of the Bible, as well as its connection to the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist with which we’re all familiar:

If you like what you hear, I’d thoroughly recommend you purchase his book Coming Soon, which is my favourite commentary on the Book of Revelation.

Some Brock Talk…
There have been a lot of posts on Facebook recently about abortion, particular with the recent announcement by Bill and Melinda Gates. To close things up I’d just like to share a post by my friend Brock, entitled “Why I am Pro-Life”:
Music Monday: Death Be Not Proud
At the end of this week I’m going to be in Los Angeles for the funeral of my friend Thomas, who died in a motorbike accident last Tuesday. It seems fitting, therefore, that today’s Music Monday song should come from the title track of Audrey Assad’s latest album, “Death, be not proud”:
Death, be not proud, though the whole world fear you:
Mighty and dreadful you may seem,
But death, be not proud, for your pride has failed you.
You will not kill me.
Though you may dwell in plague and poison,
You’re a slave to fate and desperate men,
So death, if your sleep be the gates to Heaven, why your confidence?
When you will be no more, you will be no more,
When you will be no more.
Even death will die… x2
Death, be not proud x3
Cause even death will die.
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there who dress up like Batman 🙂
The Case Of The Empty Tomb
My good friend Joe Heschmeyer will soon be abandoning the United States in order to complete his final seminary studies at the North American College (NAC) in Rome. Given the recent World Cup defeat of the England at the hands of the Italians, I take this as an extremely personal betrayal.
Fortunately for Joe, I’ve decided to forgive him and post the talk he gave recently on the subject of the Resurrection:
