If this is your first visit to Lingamish, welcome! Lingamish is the personal blog of David Ker, a media access specialist and member of Wycliffe Bible Translators based in Mozambique, Africa. Find out more about: David, the Ker Family, the Nyungwe Bible translation, David’s fixation on hippos, and the 20 most popular posts on this blog.

The Lingamish blog is where I explore ideas in conversation with people from all over the world and a wide spectrum of beliefs. I am a compulsive early-adopter and an ever-curious idea hamster. So don’t be surprised to see new media mashups next to dancing hippos and debates on experimental theology. Most of all, I hope you will read and enjoy and know that goodwill reigns in this place which is watched over benevolently by a chameleon-like lingapotamus.

Welcome to Lingamish.

Due to my online multiple identity disorder (OMID) you will see me referred to as Lingamish, lingalinga, dingaling, lungfish and several other names I’d rather not print here. Call me whatever makes you happy.

People end up at Lingamish because they want to know if Jesus has a tattoo, or how they can dance like David danced. What’s the truth behind the Christ Our Pilot painting, and why are the English such lousy kissers.

Below are the top 20 posts on my blog in the last year. They will give you an idea of whether or not to steer clear of this place.

1. Sing The Greek Alphabet Song: The top post on my blog has two free mp3 downloads of my kids singing the Greek alphabet. Go figure!
2. What is a horn of salvation?: Would you like to know what a horn of salvation is? Well, even if you don’t the commenters on this post will blow you away with their erudition.
3. Proof that Jesus is a ghost: Is Jesus still flesh and blood today? One of my nutty friends thinks so. And he might just be right. I can’t resist mocking the whole idea. Shame on me.
4. A guide to Biblical kissing: How do you say “kiss” in a culture that doesn’t kiss? Does Judas lick Jesus in the Nyungwe Bible? Find out here.
5. Greek, Hebrew and the Joy of S-x: This post proves that Bible college professors are just as perverted as you are.
6. Funny Stuff in the Bible: In this post my readers make a lame attempt to prove that the Bible actually contains humor. Nice try.
7. The Bible version cage match: Round 1: Find out what happens when two dynamic equivalent Bible translations face off in the ring. CEV and NLT in a cage match slam-fest.
8. C.S. Lewis on Bible translation, part 1: C.S. Lewis recommended that you read any Bible except the Authorized Version (KJV). Here’s why.
9. Missionary Mirage: An exposé that rips that halo off all those missionaries out there and reveals that they are in fact… real people (gasp).
10. Martin Luther on Bible Translation: Martin Luther is my homeboy. A Bible translator that made fart jokes (sorry, Mom).
11. A husband’s discovery: Shows the good that comes from men sniffing motor oil (and folding laundry).
12. The Book of Job: Fact or Fiction: I screw up my courage and try to contradict my Sunday school teacher.
13. Why American is called English: At last, definitive proof that Americans speak pure English.
14. Are we talking about the same God?: Is God really a wimp?
15. Kingdom of God or Kingdom of heaven. What’s the Diff: Could it be? An actual serious post? This is practically a Bible study. Wow. Did I write that?
16. Whoa to you who laugh: Um, the Bible says you should stop laughing. Sorry.
17. The Bible wasn’t written to you: You gotta love that line about picking bits out of the trail mix…
18. Ancient Hebrew Dancing: Here’s how you do it. “La-la la-la la la… Cheap shots at a favorite target.
19. Chick blogs for Christ: Chick blogs are so boring! All those cats! And feelings! Come on!
20. Hallelujah! Finger Disco!: Making fun of sign language in church. Is nothing sacred?

So there you have it folks. The top 20 most visited posts on my blog (except for the ones I chose to omit).

Every Friday (almost) I publish a Cyber-Psalm. At last count there are more than 50 and my goal is to write 150. See, I can be serious!

The Lingamish blog has won numerous awards, although I can’t recall the names of any of them at the moment.
