I was meeting with a local pastor and friend today and he showed me this really interesting video. It is from the authors of the YouTube meme The Web Is Using Us. They have created another video that I think is equally good. It takes a look at students, education, and technology. Exploring the art of collaboration and time. It’s really good. It seems that it’s coming out of the “hotbed” that is the Anthropology department at Kansas State. Check it out here.

On Friday, Jim Wallis and Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, engaged in a dialogue on the role of faith in politics at the Family Research Council’s “Values Voters Summit,” tackling such issues as abortion, poverty, the environment, and national security. Below is a video with some of the highlights.
Below is a video of the highlights.
Doug Pagitt was on CNN Headline News with John MacArthur talking about Yoga. Good stuff. MacArthur continues to make the worst arguments ever for his perspective. Especially the first minute and 15 seconds.
As a preface, if you don’t click on every one of the YouTube videos on this post and watch at least the first 30 seconds, then you’re missing out on some of the best entertainment I’ve ever posted.
Don’t ask me how or why . . . but the other night I was watching old wrestling videos on YouTube. And I ran across one of the most under-appreciated wrestlers of all time . . . Rowdy Roddy Piper. You may remember him from Saturday morning’s Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n Wrestling television show (the intro to the show here). Or from his epic tag-team match against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T. But he was a bad cat. This tributes here will certainly prove that.
Anyway . . . in my search for wrestling videos and the consequent fact checking on Wikipedia . . . I ran across Rowdy Roddy Piper’s catch-phrase.
“Just when they think they got answers, I change the questions.”
I think that’s an interesting thought. It’s funny how it took it coming from the mouth of Hot Rod for me to think about it this way. But I think that’s a rather insightful thought about God. That when we think we develop the answers to pegging God down . . . he changes the questions. When we think we find the answers, if we’re good apprentices, we find ourselves with a whole new set of questions. Even a whole new perspective on the nature of questions themselves. This isn’t to say that God is some cyclical, relative mess that we can never know. But rather that the answers are never as important as the questions. And perhaps God from time to time steps in and changes the questions themselves.
I wonder what it would look like in my life when I began to understand that answers are not THE answer. A answer perhaps. But not entirely foundational. So that when I discover or stumble across an answer, realizing that it is just as much about the question. And recognizing the dynamic nature of God in history.
Here’s to you Rowdy Roddy Piper. Here’s to you.
On a side note . . . Mr. T on Superman’s retirement set in the story of Rocky.
