Comments for A Man Called Preach http://willdeuel.wordpress.com Every Sunday morning W.P. used to shake my hand and say, "How's it goin', Preach?" I liked it.

Not sure if its true or not. I’ve heard that a uke can be hidden under a graduation gown. Not sure if its true or not.

They make you feel like giving up rather than having a bash. Joe Strummer was into the uke I think... and White Riot works great on a ukulele even if the lyrics are oddly out of kilter with today somehow.

Captain Lovehandles, the artist, is a guy I know from the Ukulele Underground. He calls it "A Generic Rock Band in the style of A Generic Children's Book" (e.g. Beatles, Seuss) Prints are for sale at his website (and Christmas is coming - - hint, hint.) I love that picture.

]]> Comment on The Skandal-ous Mission of the Board of Ordained Ministry by Jeff http://willdeuel.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/the-skandal-ous-mission-of-the-board-of-ordained-ministry/#comment-1035 Jeff Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:26:46 +0000 http://willdeuel.wordpress.com/?p=475#comment-1035 I could not have said this better. In my experience, the board changes members so often that the theological meat that they seek from candidates, is attached to a moving target. Why do they recommend a different book for "our perusal" every time the application is put together (which is every year)? And why do we have to incorporate what we have read from those books into our theological perspective? Why is this such an "unpersonal" experience? Why doesn't the board assign a small team to look personally at each candidate and find out who they really are as pastors instead of trying to glean it from 100 pages in an application?

What an awesome example for those looking from the outside - friends, family and your kids. God has truly blessed you both.
