I love it when Christian folks take a little time to poke fun at their family members. It saves the “outsiders” from getting the first swipes and helps to dislodge the natural hubris that seems to afflict all of us. I tell my kids we need to learn to laugh at ourself; others are gonna do that anyway and we might as well join in since it’s more fun that way. (And I have a special place in my heart for good satire). Thanks!

I'm a chronic workaholic, love to connect leaders with other leaders, and would consider myself somewhat of a 'maven'. Hopefully you'll find something here at MMI you'll like and will return often. If you want, you can find out more about me or follow my every step.
