Our church just ended this 2½ year series called “The Way of the Rabbi.” I remember early in 2007, a message or two after they started this series, Pajjar and I started to attend Church of the Open Door, and since then, we haven’t missed a sermon yet.
(This is only the first half of the video.)
This 2½ year series was spurred by a tape by Rob Bell that our Senior Pastor, Dave Johnson, heard. I wasn’t there but I knew what was going to happen during this service. Throughout a portion of the service, after our two main speaking pastors reflected back on this incredible journey on what it meant to be a follower of this Rabbi named Jesus, people could text in what they remembered or what impacted them the most. These texts appeared on the screens and it was a great success! I love it when technology enhances the service and message!

Here’s a random EDH rule that I just found out about: The general starts the game in the “command zone.” The general goes to the command zone when it’s put into the graveyard or exiled, via a “replacement rule,” which means it never hits the graveyard.
Meaning, if someone Condemns (or Bant Charms or Hollow Burials) your general, that means your general isn’t put back into the command zone and costs an additional 2 colorless more to play. It means that your general is put on the bottom of your library! YOU EITHER HAVE TO DRAW IT OR TUTOR FOR IT TO GET IT BACK!
Also! If you can bounce your general back to your hand, it stays in your hand and its casting cost is whatever it is on the card. You only have to pay the additional 2 more colorless to play it, if you want to play it from the command zone! Cards that can bounce your general, especially if it’s a costly general, are totally awesome!
This makes Wydewn, the Biting Gale such a cheap, pesky general!
This also makes Vendilion Clique an awesome general. There are a lot of ways to bounce her back to your hand.
Imagine being able to bounce back Vendilion Clique with Riptide Laboratory and being to see your opponents hand and making them discard their most powerful cards or combo pieces. This is seriously powerful in EDH play.
I rarely play G now-a-days, nothing against it, but I just don’t play G too much. I play G, only if there’s a lot of U in my deck (hehe). But one of my all time favorite decks is the “Angry Hermit” deck with Deranged Hermit, Rofellos, Gaea’s Cradle, Kamahl Fist of Krosa. I’m super serious about building my own Rofellos EDH deck.
Since my Johan EDH deck, which needs more work, already covers W/R/G, I’ve been itching to make a U or U/B EDH deck. But this deck is way too dirty…
