Grumpy Greeters and Who Need a Waiting Room
April 16, 2008During a term at college some friends decided to visit a local mega-church. They invited me along, and we were all pretty excited to check things out. That morning we met up outside of our dorm rooms, but someone was running a little late. We made it to the church parking lot a few minutes [...]
The Church of Oprah Windfrey
April 14, 2008A lot of people think Oprah is either a god, or the anti-Christ. That seems a little bit extreme. I have some opinions of how Oprah’s life could be different, and her “Big Give,” seems like it has more to do with improving her public image, than actually benefiting others.

There were two similar stories exchanged during our meal, both dealing with a particularly disturbing trend. The death of good customer [...]
Book Review – Leading With A Limp
April 8, 2008Of all the leadership books I have read, Leading with a Limp is one of the most honest and challenging reads. The premise is that as Christians our leadership should be different than it often is.
For example, as a Christian leader, instead of desiring to gain power and control, I should actually want to run [...]
Donde Esta El Bano?
April 6, 2008I only remember one phrase after taking two years of Spanish. Donde esta el bano? Which means, “where is the restroom?” For some reason, when the teacher went over this phrase and it’s definition, my survival instincts told me, “this is a phrase that could come in handy some day.”
Once, on a mission trip to [...]
Top 10 Reasons to Sit in The Back Pew
April 6, 20081. To hide your embarrassing bald spot.
2. Gaining the ability to leave effortlessly, without having to awkwardly shimmy past those who congregate in the center isles to talk.
3. It allows you to track who gets up to use the restroom, and tally how many times.
4. To rest your head against the back wall for optimal [...]
