**In Scorpion's voice** GetInHereMinistries

After yesterday's "Don't Do It" song, I decided to check out the guys behind the magic. Their names are Johnny and Chachi. I already love it. Their official website is JohnnyandChachi.com. They produce all kinds of media for churches and ministries.

They have two videos I will post here. The first is some practical prayer processes to a better prayer life and the second is their 3 driving techniques to save humanity. I realize the last sentence was completely redundant, and so is this sentence when I reiterate a ridiculously redundant raving. Booya!

I digress, here is Killer Prayer Tips from youtube.


And News World Today with Johnny and Chachi


Enjoy the videos. I'll be back later today with commentary that explodes in hilarity and yellowness.

Added content: Man, these guys are men after my own heart. If you aren't a regular church goer, it may be hard to get all of the subtle sarcasms and jokes. I apologize if it is that way for you, but know that Christians are no different when it comes to jargon, group qwerks, and dynamics. We're a people who are forgiven and striving for growth despite our weaknesses. Now, with that disclaimer in place, allow me to point out one particular Christian prayer pattern I've perceived. You like that? Alliteration is amusing.

Have you ever noticed that people don't pray as if they are really talking to God? It's more like a letter to Santa. If you want to be a normal Christian that prays, you're prayer should follow this format:

"Dear Jesus, **pause as one thinks up wish list, but then remembers thankfulness**

Thank you for [insert arbitrary thing that one should always be thankful for]. Please help [insert name of a human] with [insert thing that human needs help with]. I also need help with [insert your problem and/or wish list request]. Thank you for [Praise something you like about God].

In Jesus' name I pray [Most don't know what this means, we just say it], Amen."


We might as well adlib this prayer. You remember those books from elementary school. They have you fill in adjectives, nouns and the like before you read the story. Then, when you read the story it becomes hilarious as you find that random insertions actually create a coherent story...most of the time.

I wonder, if we prayed like we actually believed we were talking to the creator of the universe, how dramatically those prayers would change. It may turn our adlib short story into some of the most heartfelt dynamic standards of literature equivalent to a work by C.S. Lewis, or Shakespeare.

If the relationship between humans is better in person, than through ink and paper, how much more our relationship with God.
