Rhett and Link at the Grammys
Posted in Humor on February 19, 2007 by Matthew R. PerrySome of you may not know who Rhett and Link are. To quote Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, “You have my pity.” They put together some very clean and creative (borderline ingenious) videos online — even one with Southern Seminary President Albert Mohler (click here to see).
They won a radio station contest which allowed them to go to the Grammys in LA. They arrived — but would they be able to get past the checkpoints — and if so, would they get on the Red Carpet?
They did so. You will not believe this.

How Many Christians Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb? (Humor)
Posted in Church Life, Humor on June 27, 2006 by Matthew R. PerryCharismatic: Only 1 - Hands are already in the air.
Pentecostal: 10 - One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.
Presbyterians: None - Lights will go on and off at predestined times.
Roman Catholic: None - Candles only. (Of guaranteed origin of course.)
Baptists: At least 15 - One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.
Episcopalians: 3 - One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.
Mormons: 5 - One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.
Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sundayervice, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.
Methodists: Undetermined - Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass.
Nazarene: 6 - One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.
Lutherans: None - Lutherans don’t believe in change.
Amish: What is a light bulb?
