Denny,
I injured myself in the miracle position. I’m holding you responsible.
Good times.

LOL Don’t interlink fingers and give a handsqueeze.

The “prayer positions” is a hilarious dig at certain Emergent churches.
Johnny
Denny,
Thanks for the post… I’m glad the unspoken prayer was helpful for you… that blesses us beyond believe.
#2 on the list of ‘that blesses us beyond believe’ is the picture of you on a skateboard (right before you crashed).

I found the video pretty funny.
1. When praying/meditating, it CAN help to have your feet square and back straight. So a prayer position is not totally bogus.
2. I LIKE the hand squeeze at the end of holding hands when praying.

Darius and I agree on precious few things.
But the prayer position bit is one of them. Especially since I do yoga on a fairly regular basis. Doxa Soma, Praise Moves and other like minded attempts at merging yoga with meditation and prayer are ridiculous. Any time someone wants to give that certain balloon a good poke with a needle, I am all for it.

oh man, I got moderated for saying I agree with Darius.

Stick to what you’re good at, Paul. 🙂

Man, every time these guys post a video it’s hilarious. Wow. On a side note, I have actually counted how many “Father”s and “Lord”s and/or “God”s have been used in certain folks’ prayers before. That one is dead on.
I, too, like the hand squeeze.

Call it a superstition or something, but I am guilty of the “Father God” thing myself, if for no other reason that I want to remind myself of the WHO and WHAT I am praying to. Whatever little gods I might have in my life, and however much help I need in destroying them, I’m still focusing on GOD. Not little gods like gigs or money or proper percussion technique, but GOD. FATHER GOD. HEAVENLY FATHER, etc, etc, etc.
I bet you anything this gets moderated because it’s a reasonable post. 🙂

I like Reasonable Paul.

Great post Denny. Though not a big “Father God” guy (in the prayer not theological sense), I have witnessed its use on several occasions, and it is impressive.
Anway, I just happened upon your blog and am definetly subscribing. If you have the time, you can check out my blog, Imago Christi

I have found that unspoken requests my result in disharmony. The other day, I told my wife I had a major prayer request. She asked what it was and I told her “unspoken.” 1 out of 2 of us found that hilarious.
