Happy Labor Day weekend to all my fellow laborers. I hope your extended weekend is restful and full of good football.
While laboring recently in Australia our friends at DG snapped this picture. It’s too good not to share.
This photo needs a caption, doesn’t it?
Please leave your caption in the comments (unlimited entries). The best/funniest caption will win a prize, although I’m not exactly sure what would be fitting. Perhaps a 12-pack of Buffalo Bob’s Kangaroo Outback Jerky?
We’ll figure something out.

Those kangaroos are wasting their lives! I want some coronary kangaroos! When they get to heaven, what are they going to say? “Look at my pouch Lord! Look at my pouch!” Come on Etter, let’s go memorize something in Latin.
After killing two Kangaroo with his ESV Study Bible, John Piper raises them from the dead (for the glory of God).

Two of today’s brightest thinkers took the time to pose for a picture with John and Tony.
Order a copy of Desiring God within the next 24 hrs, and we’ll enter you for a chance to win a free kangaroo ride with John Piper: “Only when you ride one of these animals will you feel finally alive.”
it’s hard to find a fatten calf in the outback. Piper agrees that kangaroo is a suitable substitute….although a bit gamey.
Don’t Waste Your Marrsupial
Let the Kangaroos Be Glad!
Just a couple o’ Joes.
“Who’s the Yank, Jack?”
“Dunno, Bill. I heard him say he’s a hedonist or something.”
These ‘roos don’t quite get John’s concept of “hedonism.”
Don’t Waste Your Leap Years.
Paraphrased poem by John Piper.
Glorified-1985
And as I knelt beside the brook
To drink eternal life, I took
A glance across the golden grass,
And saw my kangaroo, old Blackie, fast
As she could come. She leaped the stream-
Almost-and what a happy gleam
Was in her eye.
I knelt to drink,
And knew that I was on the brink
Of endless joy
To modify Jeremy (which is really good): “Let the boomers be glad!”
Pastor Piper discovers that australian marsupials are not accustomed to a 40 minute sermon without stories or visual aids.
Two wonderful specimens of a strange continent, resting after the hard work of bouncing around the place enlivening the local fauna.
Oh, and there are two kangaroos as well.
John Piper researching his upcoming series: “Don’t Waste Your Pouch: Proper Stewardship of Your God Given Storage Space.”
W’all, a’ bee.
Translation: “Well, I’ll be”.
Ha!
Though Tony and John set a godly example of Christian brotherhood, the schismatic kangaroos continued to be divided over infra- vs. supra-lapsarianism, and refused to even look at each other during group photo time.
Win.
Big Game Hunting – Down Under
Pictured here are two of the greatest theological thinkers in Christendom today. The scene captures the moment after a heated debate over the question of the apostles Paul’s “thorn in the side.” Was it poor eyes sight or a bad case of eczema? Who the two humans in the center are, that appear to be amused by the exchange, are still unknown at this time.
Brothers, We Are Not Marsupials!
“Bad Self Promotion”
Haha! Very good one brother, very good!
