A Pastor’s Creative Use of “F-You!” and the Nuances of Super Bowl Etiquette
This pastor has it going on. Check out his creative and impassioned use of the phrase “F you!”
Thanks to my uncle for pointing this out. He and I wrote a book about forgiveness in the wake of the Amish schoolhouse shooting (which did not include the aforementioned phrase). Check out our book HERE (scroll down after arriving at that page).
And then there’s this. For you non-football fans attending Super Bowl parties, you’ll want to check out the latest Tripp and Tyler video for all of the important etiquette:
I especially took to heart the advice about not playing a banjo while wearing a Speedo. Enough said.
So where will you be watching the Super Bowl? Will you be watching the Super Bowl? If not, what much more productive thing will you do on Sunday night?
A Video About My Upcoming E-Book

What are some of the more pressing/interesting topics regarding writing that you’d want to discuss?

If You Are Kind Only to Your Friends
Two images.
The pastor drives up to his church on a Friday morning. His week has pummeled him into submission: too many meetings, too many visits, too many decisions, and now he is left with two days to sharpen up his message before an early wake up on Sunday morning, a day of performing, of getting everything right, and then another week begins.
