I've now mentioned him for the 87th time so if you're still on the fence about reading Stuff Christians Like, I highly recommend today's post which lists the Top 10 Posts of All Time. It gives you a taste of what people like about Stuff Christians Like. If you don't like it (and you might not), I will classify your sense of humor as "cautious" bordering on "I watch the Red Green Show." If you think he's a genius, you may rank up there with "smart satire" bordering on "I feel guilty for reading Hyberbole and a Half because of all the swearing a such but dang it's funny stuff."
My favorite Jon Acuff post is Understanding how metrosexual your worship leader is (a handy guide). I haven't been to Orchard Hill in a while, but history shows they'd have 1 or 2 guys ranking right up there. Adam used to be a worship leader in our church and he ranks about a 1 only because he wears jeans and we recently gave away his Grizzly Adams shirt which was navy, not red and black. But it's funny to think of him rocking a scarf and white belt.
And if you're 45+ and have never heard of the term metrosexual, do not panic and think your high-ranking worship leader is into guys. He's most likely not. Read the definition of a "metro" in Urban Dictionary.
And then promise you'll never use any words from Urban Dictionary in public.
Although I did love one of their words of the day:
intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
I downloaded SCL as a free audio book a long time ago but have never listened to it. I just finished reading all 10 of Jon's Top-Ten posts. I can't wait to listen now!
ReplyDeleteIntaxication is a good one.
P.S. I got my new iPhone yesterday and played an entire game of Words With Friends with Mom last night.
