    Name recognition is not always a good thing, even with some of today's preachers.

    Mark, Barna is good, isn't he? What a mind. . .anyhow, let me respond this way.
    Todd, at a Monday morning praise party around the throne in heaven, recently shared an apostle Paul report concerning "name recognition of Christian celebrity preachers. Heavenly hosts who have never heard of:
    Rick Warren 7%
    James Dobson 4%
    TD Jakes 5%
    Tim LaHaye 6%
    Joel Osteen 3%
    In comparison, those who have never heard of:
    Denzell Washington 72%
    Mel Gibson 57%
    Rosie O'Donnell 68%
    Guess it really matters which world we are tied to! As long as heaven knows my name, the world's recognition means nothing.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
