“Somewhere Over the Rainbow” The Greatest Movie Song of All!
Well, at least according to the American Film Institute’s 100 Years…100 Songs special on CBS tonight.

I had predicted to my wife that “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic would be the top pick (It came in at #14).

Most of the ones I saw were pretty good. I think it just shows the power that music has in our lives. Some of those movie scenes are really pretty bland without the music.

Father’s Day ’04…A Good Time Had By All!
There’s not much in the world that beats a good Hawaiian shirt! Especially when that shirt is in a bag with another Hawaiian shirt. All that and a chili dawg – or two, but who’s counting? – plus rings and a big F.O. made for a great Father’s Day!

Thanks, y’all! I love you!

How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People
Interesting list from the Regent Business Review via Fast Company.

I especially like number 13…

“Hold lots of meetings and make sure they have an unfocused agenda. Allow the conversation to meander aimlessly, permitting one tangential comment to give license to the next. Never cut off a rambling participant and if anyone has a good idea, compel that person to assume responsibility for a new committee to pursue the idea. End each meeting with no action items.”

And what about number 9?

“Interpret all suggestions for improvement as personal attacks on your leadership.”

When will we, as leaders, even…no, especially…Christian leaders – realize it’s all about how we treat other people?
