In the Coracle

Meme: Unwatchable actors/actresses

PatMay 1, 2008

I’m going to call in to one of my fun favorite podcasts, Delta Park Project, with a suggestion for a new playalong pop culture game. But before I do that, I thought it would be fun to post here and see if we can get a meme started.

Here’s the game. Pretend you’re at the movie rental store, browsing the shelf. You spot a movie and read the back cover. You spot an actor’s name and drop the movie, because you are pretty sure that you wouldn’t enjoy any movie that this person would be in.

Which five actors or actresses make you absolutely refuse to watch a movie that they’re in?

Mine:

Rob Schneider
Martin Short
The Rock
Meryl Streep
Jim Carrey

Your turn. All can play, but I want to hear from these five.

Late, but appropriate (Saaaaaint Patrick!)

PatMarch 20, 2008

Via John Chandler, here’s a clip on St. Patrick that my family watches a couple of times a month. The Veggie Tales version of the St. Patrick story:

It’s pretty well done, I think - the istorical outline is good, it’s funny and memorable… I recommend that you watch this in preparation for NEXT year’s St. Patrick’s day, if nothing else.

Introduction

Welcome! I'm Pat, and I'll be your host here. Please comment on what you see here. I am a lay missionary to North Bend on the east side of Seattle, a husband, dad to 2 kids, a software test architect for DeepRockDrive, a web software company that does live, interactive concerts streamed over the Internet. I'm also a failed and (quite possibly future) church planter and a Doctor of Ministry student with Bakke Graduate University, and usually on this blog we discuss Christian spirituality (especially of the Celtic, post-Evangelical, post-Charismatic and neo-monastic flavors), photography, motorcycles, and other oddball things.

About the Coracle

As I study Christian spirituality, I find the Celtic stream helpful, challenging and liveable. One of the images from early Celtic Christianity is their sea transport - the coracle.

The ancient Celts traveled in coracles - handmade, wooden framed and hide-covered boats, to journey where the trinitarian God led them. Though the transportation was simple, the journey was profound. This image is an illustration of the way I experience God's guidance - an invitation to travel with him on his paths, not mine; at his pace, not mine.
