Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode or Johnny Cash did a great version too :)

Morning all and finally the sun she doth shine.

What a great theme for today, not only cos of all the FAB tunes you lot have suggested but also as I personally am invigilating in a room full of oral exam candidates waiting to give oral as it were - who have suddenly decided I am sure to take up some kind of religion as their revising has perhaps not been quite as thorough as it should be...

I don't know how Lord Ammo and team will manage to select just a few from the bunch, but would like to 2nd the choices already made, to wit:



PERSONAL JESUS - Depeche Mode and

HALLELUJAH by Jeff Buckley (NOT the X factor/pop idol woman please!)

OR Beach Boys - 'GOD ONLY KNOWS' such a perfect sound for what will be a sunny afternoon by then, according to the BBC weather people (!)



Have a nice day y'all and PRAY for the candidates sitting in the room with me!

Good morning Simon, Team, Andy the NYM and fellow blogpoppets!



Pinch and a punch and all that! Glorious sunshine in London town today.



Can I suggest:



I BELIEVE - Elvis



Back in a bit



Alex Girl

Good Wednesday Simon, DriveTeam and Followers





Apart from the obvious prayer songs listed above - most of which I really like, please may i courteously suggest:

GOD ONLY KNOWS - BEACH BOYS



PRETTY AMAZING GRACE - NEIL DIAMOND



GOD GAVE ROCK AND ROLL TO YOU - ARGENT

'I'M A BELIEVER' NEIL DIAMOND

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' - Mamas and Papas



"Well, I got down on my knees and I began to pray"

Just looked through the songs and didn't realise there were so many good ones relating to Simon's topic... so I wonder how he's going to whittle them down!

BLOG MEET ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!



Nic and I are planning a blog meet in the West Midlands on Sat 30th July 2011. If you're interested (and it's something we've never done before*) there's a thread on the CLP Bloggers FB page (on the discussions board) - please feel free to add your name: the more the merrier as far as we're concerned.



* We thought it would be nice to have a Bloggers Picnic. A daytime event, famiy friendly, with picnic hampers, games, walks etc. We do have a plan for the evening, which is dependant on numbers.



It'd be fantastic to unit the blogs, methinks!!



Muchos Amore.

Wx

Good Morning Each! I'm a bit late to the font today, and I can't think of anything that fits todays criteria, that aint already been picked. Plenty of religious tunes, but prayer? Stumped. So, I shall content myself with seconding Billie with her Jeff Buckley choice.

K's Choice - Laughing As I Pray



Cliff Richard - The Millenium Prayer



Maria McKee - Show Me Heaven



Meatloaf - Cry to Heaven



Nightwish - Meadows of Heaven



Secret Garden - Prayer

Pushing the bounds of what is playable, perhaps...



E Nomine - Vater Unser (it is the Lord's prayer, after all).

Wood Beez (Pray like Aretha Franklin) by Scritti Politti



or



Knockin' on Heaven's door by Bob Dylan

When You Believe - Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston



Yes, it's pure cheese and it was recorded as an X Factor winning song, but it kinda fits the theme :D

Thank you.

Atishooooo!



MTF.xx

I'm here!



Just spent my lunchtime doing CiN and blogmeet admin, then blew the diet with a yogurt which used up 260 of my daily calorie allowance .... twas lovely tho!!



;-)

HI Alex and Tortie, I'm lurking but very busy here so not much time to chat.

And hello to MTF and Deevs, too ................. blog seems to be misbehaving; took ages for my post to appear.

# 63 Well thanks Alex - nice to be noticed! Has anybody missed me?

Hiya Harry and everyone.



Have tried to post a couple of times, only appeared when refresh button was pressed.



Off to work now, with camera fully charged hoping top get some good pics from Axbridge/Cheddar reservoir.



The jobs a good un this time of the year.



Happy Humpday all.



MTF.xx

Ah, there you all are!



Of course we have ALL missed you Revster!



MTF, enjoy your travels this afternoon. Your post yesterday was lovely - very envious of the gorgeous scenery you experience daily. I see concrete, litter, crowds - hopefully not for too much longer!



Deevs, if you need any help with the CiN admin, just shout. We can't make the blogmeet - difficult to make plans for weekends with this house selling malarkey. The picnic is a lovely idea.



Hi Tortie and Harry!

If people are lurking and are unable to comment:



Type your comment as normal and hit "Post Comment". When the wee thingy says "loading comment", hit F5 to refresh. Your comment should then appear.

Sorry I've not been around but life, the universe and everything, if you know what I mean, punctuated by the occasional holiday and tending the veg patch...and...

#75 And?

driving the Bishop around for a day as he visited our Deanery...

#75 & 77 Sounds like a busy and fulfilling life, Rev! (Well, maybe not the driving the Bish around bit).

# 78 It is and I'm not complaining though it can be a bit stressful at times...and if I hear that really old comment that vicars only work on Sundays one more time...

The two most obvious to me have already been suggested - 'Like a Prayer' and 'Living on a Prayer'.



However, I don't think anyone's suggested 'One Love' by Bob Marley & the Wailers, with its mention of 'Give thanks and Praise to the Lord'. Although with its mention of a 'Holy Armaegeddon' maybe I should have suggested that for the week the world was supposed to end...



Oooh, what about 'Personal Jesus' (Johnny Cash version would be brill)?

Hi Rev long time no see :-)....a good topic for you to dip back in with!

Testing?

Ha! I seem to be able to post again.



Rev! Of course you've been missed! Lovely to see you. Shame it's on a day the blog is playing up.



Have had the Scritti Politti song in my head since I read #56. love it!



Can't do July 30th, Deevs. Shame, if I hadnt been going to be in Budapest that very weekend I would have made every effort. Sounds great fun.



Will stop here for now while the going is good ;-)



X

# 83 Perhaps we're not praying hard enough!! Though I have to confess, prayer didn't help my team win the FA Cup!!!

A bit left field, but what about "Let's All Chant" by Michael Zager Band?



Ambulance Chaser

This blog today is like pulling teeth!! Better get back to my sermon

Will we make it to 100 before the Lord returns!!??

Testing, testing. Lots to say, but the blog seems reluctant to let me say it.



#87 Isn't that now supposed to be on 21st October...?



~X~

#88 Yes, but he's pretty dumb for a fundamentalist if I may say that! If Jesus doesn't know, and only the Father knows (as the good book says) people who make daft predictions are always on a loser!

#87 Laughing at myself. Completely mis-read your post and thought you had inside knowledge. Had a moment of panic that Judgement Day was only 13 posts away!



Hiya Deebee! You made it!!

# 90 Wouldn't it be funny if we were all raptured before Simon's show starts!!!

#88 Well that seemed to work okay. Let's try a bit more:



Deevs, I would have loved to have come on 30th July but we're attending a family wedding on that day. In KatyMac's neck of the woods, as it happens. And I second Alex's offer of help with the CiN admin. You did a sterling job last year, but don't feel you have to do everything yourself.



Rev, of course we've missed you! It's good to 'see' you again.



Welcome to any newbies!



~X~

#90 oo-err best not post anything then ;-)

This may appear twice! Posted but it disappeared. Maybe we're not going to get as far as the 100!

INSTRUMENTS OF CHOICE

An anthropologist went to study a far-flung tropical island.

He found a guide with a canoe to take him upriver to the remote site where he would make his observations. About noon on the second day of travel up the river they began to hear drums. The anthropologist asked his guide, "What are those drums?"



The guide turned to him and said, "Drums okay, but VERY BAD when they stop."



As they travelled the drums grew louder and louder.



The anthropologist was nervous, but the guide merely repeated, "Drums okay. Drums not bad. When drums stop, then very bad!"



Then the drums suddenly stopped.



Terrified, the anthropologist yelled to the guide: "The drums stopped! What now?"



The guide crouched down, covered his head with his hands and said, "Guitar solo."

#91 Simon's show always sends me into raptures!



;o)



(sorry, couldn't resist!)

#94 LOL! I've heard a variation of that joke before, at a Level 42 concert. Mark King told the joke, and the punchline was "Bass solo!"



~X~

Dewey was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands.

The preacher grabbed Dewey by the hand and pulled him aside.

The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!"

Dewey replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor."

The Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?"

Dewey whispered back, "I'm in the secret service.

I'm not sure I've ever been raptured. Is it only for consenting adults?

#91 Hilarious! (Not). Can it wait until after the show?



Good joke - am going to send it to Mr P with the Mark King variation!!

100?
