Wild Christmas Parties at Home and Work

Sunday November 23, 2008   ~   10 Comments

Well, it seems to be the season for videos.

If you have not already done so, you will DEFINITELY want to go to Friday's post and take a look at the conflict and resolution throughout. (Part two is my favorite.) It is good to see Al not make it all about himself for a change. Mission is good.

Well, we also had some wild parties this weekend. And, thankfully, there is video!

First, from our family party:

And, I have some good news. Turns out there was a camera at the LifeWay Christmas party and a few of the "bosses" gave us some great entertainment.

Of course, this was a secret party. This video was not supposed to be released. And, posting this means I will need to get my resume updated. (Anybody want a plant a church somewhere warm?)

Yet, even still, it is worth it.

Enjoy:

The dancers:
VPs: Tim Vineyard (technology), John Kramp (church resources), Brad Waggoner (B&H), Tom Hellams (communications and relations), and Thom Rainer (president).

For their bios (and some picture that look awfully familiar to those in this video) click here.

You're so dead. The good news is the economy is strong so finding a new job shouldn't be a problem.

By Greg Atkinson on November 23, 2008 9:37 PM

Wow - I didn't know Thom could get down like that.

By smurrell on November 23, 2008 10:16 PM

pretty good dance moves...

for a bunch of baptists preachers

(forget AL, go ED!)

By Gena Rogers on November 24, 2008 7:19 AM

Seeing that our fearless leaders have moves like that increases my confidence in the future of LifeWay tenfold. Thanks for sharing!

By Jim Woolums on November 24, 2008 8:54 AM

I'm with Gena...with leaders who can move like this...there can only be a bright future for Lifeway.

Exactly, if they can dance around the floor like that (and with such teamship), dancing through the economic slowdown should be easy.

By Ed StetzerAuthor Profile Page on November 24, 2008 9:03 AM

My wife wanted me to add that she lost 61lbs since her picture and I lost 54. (Well, she really did not say that, but she did complain about the picture I used!)

who knew that so many could "shake their groove thang" so well...fabulous!

Now that's funny.

Been nice knowing you Ed!
