What A Hymn Should Sound Like

If every Presbyterian choir sang like this, there would be a lot more Presbyterians in church.

Four greatest-hits selections from a recent performance by my very own church choir:

"I Don't Feel No Ways Tired" (which they do so much better than Hillary)



"We Fall Down"



"Order My Steps"



"I Woke Up This Morning"



Of course, if you happen to be in Brooklyn, you can catch a free live performance every Sunday.

A little old lady hacker explains how to use her church's website. Via Athanata.

The Dallas Morning News points out Troy Polamalu's subtle giveaway of his Greek Orthodox faith.

The LA Times argues that athletes shouldn't practice displays of faith on the field, Greek Orthodox or no.

The Pueblo Chieftan sees the Super Bowl as "football as religion," and backs that up by quoting... Billy Joel.
