In this day and age, that's the stuff that makes the projector work, right? Or, the first half of the term "PowerPoint"? Oh, and yeah, we went and saw "Fireproof". Not too bad a movie; probably best-suited as a Sunday School series though. The guy talking to himself in the mirror was pretty funny, I gotta admit! Power in Preaching?

I too had a similar experience when I was younger. I was newly promoted into management with a very large corporation and was attending a month long management training program along with about 30 others who were also newly promoted. I remember turning in a paper on the first full day of training about a topic that no longer matters. What did matter was that my hand written document was barely legible, incoherent and full of spelling errors. One of the instructors came to my room in the evening and told me if this was the kind of work I was going to be doing I should pack my bags and go home. I was stunned, embarrassed and determined not to let that happen again. I consider it a painful but necessary lesson. Mike Mike,

Went and saw <i>American Carol</i> yesterday. Several times the character who's a spoof of Michael Moore points out that he's an Oscar winner. The other person in the conversation scoffs, "Yeah, for a <b>documentary</b>." (For the uninitiated, <i>Religulous</i> is allegedly a documentary.) * The AP link doesn’t work.
