Why I admire Chris Kirk
Perhaps it’s a bit early to start admiring Chris ;), but I ran into http://thenamelesschurch.com through Ian Soper who was one of the first people to stop by my goal to start a post-modern theology discussion group Anyhow, surfing around http://thenamelesschurch.com is inspiring and I just want to check it out sometime since I live only a few hours away. Even if I can’t get to go, I’ve already met Chris virtually.
Why I want to meet Andrew Harbick
Because he posted on my blog (www.thenamlesschurch.com), and I love anyone who posts on my blog. Seriously, he’s rading Brian McLaren which makes him nearly as crazy as I am (and perhaps more).
My favorite memory of Andrew Harbick
Has to be the Tour de France. I particularly enjoyed conersations over dinner outside in Grenoble. Discussing life, God, cycling, all the important things in this world. And yes, I did get some pictures up from the tour:
The last time I saw haakon
We were following the Discovery Cycling team (go Lance!) through the mountain stages of the Tour de France. I agree with Haakon; absolutely worth it!
Hey Haakon, did you ever put you pictures anywhere public? I haven’t made the movie yet, but my photos are on Flickr.
How I met Jimmy Carter
I went on a cruise about 10 years ago. President Carter and his family were on the same cruise. At the beginning of every cruise you do a “muster drill” (the sea equivalent of a fire drill where you put on a life jacket and rush to the station that holds your life boat. President Carter and I stood next to each other (and the secret service) talking about fly fishing (I have no idea how the subject came up since I only barely know how to fly flish). I have a feeling I was pretty safe on that boat ;)
How I met Andrew Harbick
So the day I started at Amazon (well, ok, Amazon in Seattle. There’s a long and gnarly story about how hard it was to start with Amazon in Seattle, but that’s for another day) I ended up sharing the office which was to become known as the “crystal cathedral” with Andy. And here’s the peculiar thing: My recruiter (Scott Baillie) had discovered I was a Christian, revealed that he was one, and then went on to tell me how much I’d like sitting with Andy because he was one too. Cool blessing to start a job with.
We had a lot of fun in that office (and great views, of course), and I still remember some of the massive rants we were able to engage in with impunity and much pleasure. Ah, the good ‘ol days.
