Terrible Church Singer
Heard this on Niagara radio station 97.7 this morning. They couldn't stop laughing. I had 2 thoughts.
1) Exodus 35:10 “All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded..." We're suppose to stick with what we're good at.
2) Eph. 4:29 ...but only (speak) what is helpful for building others up... Or as Thumper's mom says: If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything. Someone interpreted that as "You did great! Here have the mic again this Sunday" That would be lying. He didn't do great.
We need to find out what we're good at and then work really hard and being great at it. This guy looks like he loves to be loved by the audience and he should feel like that, but for something that he did well not for a disingenuous reaction to a horrible singing performance. Everyone should be loved, but we also shouldn't be afraid to give honest feedback when it's called for and to not put people out in front that are clearly not performers. How can anyone worship when it's this distracting?
The DJ's said the prayers for the rest of the service would go unanswered because God left the room.

They say you can't pick your family. That said, it may be fun to at least imagine that you could.
Who would you pick?
I sometimes wish my mom was Google.
When you have a question you type it into Google and you get an answer. You don't even need to click on any results because most of the time the answer your looking for is in the quick results on the first page. "Is Terence Trent Darby still Alive?" for example. Apparently yes. Who knew. Google that's who, Booya!
If I asked that same question to my mom, I would first have to explain who that is at which point I would begin to regret asking her altogether. Then once she realized I was talking about a pop culture icon from the 80's she would be reminded of what song he was famous for and then try to hum it to get the full effect of the nostalgia she was trying to summon. My sister is worse. I once asked her when the Spanish/American war was - I was looking for a year - four digits. She proceeded to pull out a text book and read from it out loud. I didn't mean to be rude but my eyes completely glazed over and I went into a sort of dream like state where I thought I was going to fall down. Both of them really should have known better, they were present when the shrink diagnosed me with A.D.D.. Speaking of that shrink, he was wearing two different coloured socks that day, was that on purpose to see if I would notice? huh.
I digress. I just wish some people would be able to read an audience and recognize when they are losing that audience. If a simple question is asked - answer it simply. If more information is required wait for a follow up question that invites more details.
That is all.
