The Dullest Party Ever?

26 February 2006

I’m going to be 30 this week, and so I thought I really ought to make the effort to do something to celebrate my birthday this time. So I decided to have a “Puritan Party”:

If you are reading this and I haven’t given you an invitation in person, then you are of course still welcome to come (unless you are a spammer). If you have any suggestions of what would be suitable games and activities at a Puritan party, please add them in the comments.

If you guys continue talking like this my brain might explode. I'm not even understanding the concept of the party let alone, what you guys are going on about. Its probably code for something like, turn up in suits of armour, and theres me in my gorilla costume. I dunno, lets just leave it at that i dont understand...

Happy Birthday Mark!!!..Welcome to the 30-something club, the age of that 'special' annointing!?..Have a great (and thoroughly Zwinglian) puritanical birtday party - what are you doing enjoying yourself?- joy is for the devil and his minions......Richard

The whole party ought to be split into 16 sections following the 16 volumes of the Works of John Owen with especial attention given during that themed period of the party to the contents of the volume .....Volume 6 ought to be a blast ... Mortifying Sin...But then of course Volume 7, you're onto the Nature and Causes of Apostasy.

Yes, we were thinking that a .mortification of the flesh. game might be interesting.

In true Puritan fashion, have a thoroughly enjoyable birthday, Mark!...God would have our joys to be more than our sorrows..Christians .may be merry at their work and merry at their meat...joy is the habitation of the righteous..Christians should .enjoy [recreations] as liberties, with thankfulness to God that allow us these liberties to refresh ourselves....Let's kill those stereotypes!!
