"You Guys Are Salvation Army!?!"

Monday, November 27, 2006

Yes we are.

Someone e-mailed me today and was quite negatively inquisitive as to just how The Salvation Army would ever allow "this [The Freeway] to happen".

In typical Pernell fashion, my first response [in my head] was "bite me, wanker". But that's a bit harsh... I guess. So, I will attempt to answer this question here... tomorrow, because I think it's actually a good question.

I guess this is a teaser.

    This is Army... nothing to do with what we look like or act... nothing to do with the music... or anything outward. Its our compassion for others that sets us apart (I hope)

    You are my Army!

    Can't wait for the reply.

    Pernell!I just don't know how you couldn't have incorporated a Red Shield into that fancy new logo you've got yourself!! :-)))

    Pernell,

    Actually, I was beaucoup de encouraged to hear how the Army is supportive of The Freeway. I think we talked a bit about this when I was still in the Hammer...

    It's like my friend Gerry Michalski in Winnipeg, whose Soul Sanctuary is supported by the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada -- like Freeway, it's doesn't look like a hipper clone of the motherships, but it's exciting and encouraging to me whenever any denomination is mature enough to bless innovation and experimentation.

    Also looking forward to your response. Although as metaphors go, I wouldn't want a wanker to bite me. :)

    Selected quotes from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanker

    Wanker:

    As with the word "jerk", the effect of the word often depends on the situation. In a potentially aggressive situation, such as a football game, for instance, using it might entail serious consequences.

    In the U.S., the usage of "wanker" as an insult is considered stereotypically to be very English or British.

    In the UK, it is generally unacceptable to use it in front of minors, and would most likely incur some form of discipline for those who were to say it during daytime television in the United Kingdom...It is generally allowed to be used on television only after the watershed.


    Pernell!

    Now the UK will have to block your site during the day, until after the kids have gone to bed!

    Can't wait for tomorrow's post...

    Long live the FRWY. One (of many?) flagships for the SA of the future.

    I don't care what anyone says about you Pernell, you're still a good guy. ;-)

    Salvation Army helped me out A LOT here in Windsor over the last several years. I haven't seen anyone come through quite like they have. God Bless you and God Bless them. Keep up the good fight.
