A few weeks ago, someone online requested a DVD copy of me being sent to hell. When I told my youngest brother Bennett this, his reaction was simple:

“Oh come on! DVD? Doesn’t heaven have better technology than that at this point? At the bare minimum I have to believe they’ve got Blu-ray.”

The other day on a plane, I saw that the girl behind me was reading a book called “Before you get engaged.” I immediately thought, “That has got to be a Christian book.”

So when we started unloading the plane I asked her if it was. She verified my assumption was right. Then I asked her, “Does your boyfriend know you are going to dump him?”

I was surprised by my reaction to Jack Black’s prayer to satan. Not that I expected a certain reaction, I hadn’t planned for that moment, but my response still caught me off guard.

Today’s short Saturday question is simple. What are you praying about?

What’s something kicking around in your head or heart right now?

What can the readers of Stuff Christians Like pray about for you today?

(I’m not going to lie, if Becky and Joanna had not turned in a guest post, I probably would have just linked to the angry, public letter the Cavs owner wrote about LeBron James leaving his team last night. It was classic. But when someone breaks up with you, it’s not time to write a letter, it’s time to start doing P90X and getting all hott with two t’s to make them jealous. Rookie move. I digress. Becky actually dragged her kids from Rhode Island to Massachusetts to hang out with my family when I was in town. I am a huge fan of her. I loved this guest post and hope you do too.)

I have a confession to make. I’ve lied in church. Before you stop reading and declare me a heathen, I’m pretty sure you have, too. More specifically, we’ve sung lies. I’m sure many of you know the scene well…

Yesterday, I did an hour long radio interview, during which I uttered the following statements:

1. My love language is like LeBron James’, adoration.

2. The first rule of Holy Spirit, is that there is a Holy Spirit.

3. I’m not sure I’ll be sitting in dubs in heaven.

All in all, it was a delightful experience. You can listen to the MP3 of it right here.

This is going to surprise you, but sometimes, I put my foot in my mouth. Mostly, it happens when I am awake.

One time, a few years ago, I was in a big meeting with the CEO of our 3,000 person company. Our CFO had been let go. I asked the CEO a question that started with me complimenting him on how they handled the whole CFO situation. Only when it came out of my mouth, I said this, “After the whole CEO situation, …”

He, being the CEO, immediately said, “I think you mean CFO.” Now most people, being wise and smart and not me, would have recognized the gravity of the situation and bailed out like Goose should have done sooner in Top Gun. Only I didn’t, in fact, here is honestly what I said,
