Post-IQ Forum 2007 Musings

I'm going to write serious, introspective reflections on IQ Forum 2007 and my time in St. Louis later. But for now . . .

Top Ten Observations, Conclusions, Jumbled Ramblings, etc., in No Order of Importance

1. There are many things one has to do in order to get a conference UPCI approved. Naming a roundtable discussion session "The Naked Pentecostal" is not one of them.

2. There is NOTHING wrong with me. (I just happen to be a 20something single girl. Sheesh.)

3. Having a "kegerator" in a Christian home is acceptable only if filled with lemonade.

4. Ted Drewes custard is a St. Louis legend.

5. There are people other than me who are heartily amused by putting bunny ears on others while taking pictures. (I really thought I was the only one left.)

6. Taking pictures through the open doors of as well as through the sunroof of a moving vehicle while riding around downtown St. Louis should be considered an authentically Pentecostal recreational sport.

7. How a 45 min - 1 hour wait for a table became no wait at all: "Ye have not because ye ask not."

8. It's important to do "research" on dating sites in order to intelligently reference them while on a discussion panel about being single.

9. Pennsylvania Dutch sounds an awful lot like German.

10. Trying to eat a cheesy gas station-bought hot dog with one hand while driving is not a good idea.

Oh, and for the record, I LOVED the roundtable discussion on blogging (the one titled "The Naked Pentecostal: Is Nothing Sacred on the Web?"). If someone reading this happened to be the leader of that discussion, don't listen to what anybody else says. Believe me.
