One of the few things I'm proud is my response to being put over the worship schedule in SG during the last couple years of Bob M's life, and letting him do whatever the hell he wanted, including skipping the services. Of course, it was a private agreement we had, and hopefully it will never come to light.

Really busy today, so can't get into a comprehensive response to some of the posts. Hope everyone has a great day. If I could give each and every one of you a full body hug (in the spirit), I would do it!

6,438,799 people at Trump's inauguration... Don't question this stat. It comes from an extremely credible source.

Hi Cloudwatcher, I haven't been tracking it too closely (date to date). But my impression, as well as yours, is that there has been a significant uptick this month. Perhaps it is the specific subjects we have been discussing--not sure.
