For me, what makes the story so funny is knowing the winner. (We didn’t until after he was picked and then I matched the first name with the email address and snorted, loudly.)

Chris is just about the calmest and most laid back guy you’ve ever met. He is sincere in his ministry and has a huge heart for God. While most youth pastors are sincere and have a huge heart for God, most of us aren’t as chilled as Chris. I could imagine him just nodding his head and thinking, “OK God, that wasn’t what I expected.”

As a sidenote, Chris and recently went to Ethiopia where they adopted a little boy.

The story probably would have won by him before we got to the chain reaction vomiting. That led to it being a true road trip from hell. Beats my best story by 20 miles!
