In Australia we call them ‘chips’.
Mental Floss’ and accompanying article history French fries.
Potato. Fat. Heat. Salt.
Simple. Satisfying.
I don’t know how they managed to overlook Australia’s contribution: Chicken Salt.

One encouraging by-product of the various COVID lockdowns around the world have been the variety of recordings various Christian musicians have produced to aid online and socially distanced worship.
The simpler arrangements provide an idea of what different songs can sound like in settings closer to most normal churches.
Though most normal churches don’t have a vocalist of Graham Kendrick’s experience.
Here he sings the Rend Collective song More Than Conquerors.
This post at Gospel Coalition Africa is framed in terms and situations familiar with that continent, but which translate everywhere as Daniel Gachuki exhorts pastors to set their aspirations in Christ-like terms, rather than for worldly gain.
Here’s one of his points:
We Are Servants, Not Superintendents
The Bible unashamedly calls gospel preachers servants. Paul often identifies himself as a slave of Christ. Service is an irreducible minimum of pastoral work. Our Lord “did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).
Our people don’t exist to serve us – we are their servants.
Even when forced on us, we are not to relish titles such as ‘Major’ or ‘Papa’. Being called by our names doesn’t take away from our calling. Our main calling is service, not supervision. This is reason enough for us to not demand special treatment or even titles. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a lowly man. Should we be autocratic lords? Our people don’t exist to serve us – we are their servants.Read the other points in his post here.
O That Will Be Glory was the final hymn we sang at a funeral last Monday.
This rendition is very clever. I’ll think there’ll be more of these in Sunday Songs in future.
The lyrics:
1
When all my labors and trials are o’er,
And I am safe on that beautiful shore,
Just to be near the dear Lord I adore
Will through the ages be glory for me.
Refrain:
O that will be glory for me,
Glory for me, glory for me;
When by His grace I shall look at His face,
That will be glory, be glory for me.
2
When by the gift of His infinite grace,
I am accorded in Heaven a place,
Just to be there and to look on His face
Will through the ages be glory for me.
Refrain
3
Friends will be there I have loved long ago;
Joy like a river around me will flow;
Yet just a smile from my Savior, I know,
Will through the ages be glory for me.
Refrain
