Team Impact Wants to Save Your Soul

In the current edition of the “print product,” I reported on a visit my 10-year-old son and I paid to Team Impact, an evangelical “feats of strength ministry” wherein big guys rip phone books in half, then save your soul. The article was accompanied by a wonderful illustration, so I thought I’d share some photos. (From left: blowing up the hot water bottle, preparing to get Medieval on a stack of boards, “making it rain” with a torn phone book.)

  1. iPhones are great, but you really need to invest in a separate camera that produces decent pictures.

    Blurry, low-res vertical photos are becoming your “thing.”

  2. RayRay: I’m sorry for the urine in your Cheerios.

  3. Troll Doll: I’m sorry you can’t come up with a better/fresher way to attack my comments.

  4. Oh, RayRay. I think you should seriously lighten up. I was being pithy. You are being unreasonable.

    Tim was out, not planning to work, and snapped a couple pics with his iPhone. Then he posted them.

    I don’t think it really should’ve invited so much irritation on your part.

  5. Oh, Troll Doll. I’m not irritated. I was merely making an observation about a trend in the quality of his photos.

    And besides, if you’re going out somewhere where there’s the potential for soul-saving, I think you bring a digital camera…

    And as for your comment, I wouldn’t call it “pithy.” I think the better word would be “hackneyed.”

  6. I thought the article was hilarious. It is not very often I ask my trophy wife to read what I have read. She laughed as well.

  7. These guys were at Jesuit about 10 yrs ago and while taking a piss in the bathroom one of them walked out of a stall, fluffed his flowy 80’s mane, and walked out….never washing his hands! Two minutes later we saw him jogging down the aisle hi-fiving parents and children.

    Classy.

  9. Few people realize this, but Jesus was a 2nd degree black belt.

  10. We have some friends that had their daughter do a similar thing on a church camp outing that she had been invited to by friends. About the third time that strangers showed up at the house unannounced to pray with the 10 year old girl, the humor had dried out. These people even tried to call the little girl on the phone. Besides that admonition that is some funny stuff!
