what is your favorite single thing in the whole world to do?
Yes.
Do I really need to answer that question? ;)

35. Texas in Africa Says:
Do you ever wonder if your kids are learning that worship is about production values rather than about Jesus?
Nope. They have no idea what a production value is. When they come home from church they talk about Jesus and stuff. Not the lights.

45. JTCrespo Says:
When I put my socks in the wash, I know I put matching pairs in. Sometimes only one of the pair comes out.
Where did the other sock go and why doesn’t it ever come back?
Back in ‘nam, there was this guy named Chuck.
Chuck loves is socks. I mean really loved his socks.
Well one October morning the Viet Cong came and ambushed our squad. Chuck made it through the fire-fight but when he checked his bunk he realized that all his socks were gone. So Chuck went nuts. He disappeared.

Yes. Yes. Anna Rinaldi was a dream. Or maybe it was a dream?
None of you bisnacks. :)

117. Jordanchez Says:
What do you do to keep innovative and creative, and not just following the mainstream or trends.
Everything is a trend. nothing is original. BUT. I think that authentic creativity within the church creates authentic culture outside the church. And that is my life call. To create culture outside of the church that was influenced by the creativity inside the church.

BLAM,
That is 60 questions.
Boooyah.

    The answer to 36 is priceless. You have no idea. Carolyn is a sponge who absorbs the creativity around her.

    Hey Holmes, who organized the Sandals Saturday flag football games @ Sandals? Parsio? Scott Reynolds?
    When the torrential downpour ends here I’m ready to play.

    How’s the weight loss going?
    Mines a little fast. Feel like I need to slow my roll. Went from 210 to 199.6 in two weeks. I read how the faster it comes off the less likely it is to stay off, so I threw down on some Alberto’s tonight. :D

    Miss you guys.

    More good answers…some of the questions were kinda weird but good answers. :-)

    I agree with you. The Tipping Point is an amazing book and second to it is Malcom Gladwell’s other book Blink.

    #29 was asked by Esteban. THE Esteban? The pimper of those stellar acoustic guitars on QVC? The purveyor of the black Zorro hat and the black puffy shirt?

    Sweet. You have reached the most coveted audience of all – the “Over 60, Holiday Theme Sweater” crowd. Careful you don’t upset them – they have a powerful lobby group in Washington…
