Mayhem, Missiology and Musings…

In the immortal words of Mary Poppins “You find the fun and then the job’s a game.” Not that blogging is a job or a chore in any way, but I wanted to find a way to make it more interactive, and incorporating competition into the mix seemed the way to do it.

The game is easy. Starting with the post on 12/4/08 all post titles will be song lyrics. To play, you simply comment on said post and identify the song (and also comment on the blog, if you’d like). Songs MUST be identified by title and artist. Points will be awarded to the first to post. In the case of a song that’s been recorded by multiple artists, points will be given to those who post artists from my personal music collection and bonus points if you guess the version of the song I had in mind when writing the post.

Points, once amassed, can be redeemed for fabulous prizes selected specifically for you, by me.

Answers will be posted here once they’ve been correctly identified by someone in the blogosphere.
