Essential Meetings with Very Important People

Saturday March 1, 2008   ~   8 Comments

Yep, there is a reason I am behind in my emails and my work. (Friday is for Friends will probably be Monday, for example). But, I am still catching up. You see, I had some meetings with VERY important people last week... and things got a little crazy.

Apparently no one else wanted to ride the Stetzer train!

By Mark Jackson on March 1, 2008 9:27 PM

Important meeting, indeed.

I quote Alex McManus speaking at The Origins Experience back in 2004:

"Non-negotiable: if in fifteen years, my kids have left the church, but I love it, I have failed. On the other hand, if they are still a vital part of the church, but I hate it, I've succeeded."

Plus, you score extra points for going to see the Mouse. Did you get to ride Expedition Everest?!

By Ed Stetzer on March 1, 2008 9:58 PM

Because we stayed late (till midnight, if I recall), we road Everest 4 times. Ugh.

No lines can be fun... but can also wear you out!

Thanks for sharing that photo Ed. makes you almost... human. ;) Seriously, it's great seeing a photo of you with your kids.

Ed
Looks like one of the most important meetings you can have on your calendar. From the looks of the empty seats must have been a private meeting too.

By Ray Smith on March 2, 2008 10:04 PM

If we can get the mayor to build a ride like this in Tulsa, will you come back more often?

By Ed Stetzer on March 3, 2008 6:34 AM

Joe,

As you know. I hesitate to put pictures of my family on-line. But, since these were from a distance, I went for it this time.

Ray,

Great to hear from you. I hope things are settling down a bit at ORU. I will be in Tulsa this Fall so maybe I will look for that ride!

Mike,

It almost was! They closed the park at 7pm for. Pirate and Princess Party till midnight.

I have never seen the rides so empty.

Ed

Now, there's a meeting that ought to happen. May the Lord increase your opportunities with them.
