1. Favorite magic trick - I worked at the Wright Center when i was at Samford, and one of the shows I worked was David Copperfield. I got to see how he did this trick - was standing about 10 feet from him, backstage. Also signed a contract saying I would never tell - but even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uipdGJv1ODU?rel=0&w=451&h=250]2.

1. I've enjoyed watching Penn Jillette (Penn and Teller) on the Celebrity Apprentice. I don't usually watch trash TV - but he's a class act. The amazing thing to me is that he's not a believer and in fact an outspoken atheist, and yet acts more like Jesus than any other personality on the show.2. Sunday's Comin'....3. There's nothing better than the sound of one of your own kids praising Jesus.4. Oh sure, NOW Brusters is open, just as I start craving Dairy Queen.5.
