Pot -o- Examen
Last week at ThPM was an in between week. We had finished our New Year’s examen (looking at our greatest area of consolation and desolation in 2003), and we weren’t quite at Lent yet. I had a few topics bouncing around in my head and figured I’d develop one of them sometime during the week.
Then my kids got sick. Both of them. With strep throat. There was NO working last week.
So I did what any emerging pastor would do. I punted. I literally threw all of my ideas into a pot, plus a few others that I culled from the group while we cleaned the kitchen after dinner. The result? Sort of an extended “Friday Five.” Here were our questions-o-the-night.
What is you favorite God-connected thing to do (these days)?
What is your favorite piece of art and why does it move you?
What is the most joyful thing that has happened to you since last week?
Are you going to see Mel Gibson’s “Passion”? Why/why not?
Are blogs authentic modes of communication? Why/why not?
What was the last satisfying conversation you’ve had and what made it satisfying?
Are you giving anything up for Lent? What and why?
What is one cause you wish you could fight for, or wish you could do more to fight for?
What movie was “big” for you and what does “big” mean?
If your faith is a pair of pants, what kind of pants do you wear?
Come on, you know you want to answer at least one of these.
