the Sticks

What's the conference with yellow feet? The Sticks, the Sticks. What's the conference from 21 Jump Street? Not the Sticks, Not the Sticks. The Sticks. The Sticks. I can see how the Cheat's Theme Song doesn't work as well for talking about our conference. Oh well. I still like the song. So, about the Sticks...I'm not going to give you any spiritual nuggets I learned. That's not how my mind or blog works. Here's the stuff I took note of at the conference:

• We have some real freaks here at New Hope. Apparently, Sarah's not the only person I know that doesn't sleep. Kevin, Vicki, and Nicole don't sleep, either.
• Kevin West is a genius who likes invisibles and Johnny Rogers really is that funny.
• We had more people in ties at New Hope on Tuesday and Wednesday than any other time in church history.
• I need to exude more confidence. Hard to believe, isn't it?
• If your shirt has a design, and it's not off to one side, it's just not cool.
• Our worship guys really aren't that metrosexual at all. Good job, fellas.
• I can handle meeting famous pastors without stammering, sweaty handshakes, and shaking like my dog. I pretended I was as cool as them, and they downplayed how cool they really are.
• Macguyver's bomber coat is supreme, and his mullet really gleams.

There was so much more to see, hear, and learn. I am just too tired to give it to you. Go to Kevin's, Charles', or Tim Stevens' blog to read more details.
