Get Your Strategy On
The following happens between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
It was Tim Stevens of LeadingSmart.com. For some reason, he was wearing a kimono and he smelled like he’d been fishing in the pond out back behind the church. That’s very odd. However, Tim does spend a lot of time in close proximity to Jack Magruder, the great samurai warrior and Director of Missions at Granger. And, I saw Tim order fish tacos one time.
Tim: “Ohayo, Tony-san. I’m thinking about making run to Taco Bell. You like to come with… Oh, miss spot.”
Tony: “What spot? Hey, how come you didn’t tell me you were goin’ fishing? And, why are you talking so funny?”
Tim: “You not here when I go.”
Tony: “Well, maybe I wanted to go, you ever think of that?”
Tim: “You blogging.”
Tony: “I’m what? I’m bein’ your slave is what I’m bein’ here man, now c’mon we made a deal here!”
Tim: “So?”
Tony: “So? So, you’re supposed to teach and I’m supposed to learn! For eight years I’ve been bustin’ my buns, and haven’t learned a thing!”
Tim: “You learn plenty.”
Tony: “I learn plenty, yeah, I learned how to sand your decks maybe. I wash your car, mow your lawn, Windex your fancy glass desk. I learn plenty!”
Tim: “Ah, not everything is as seems. Remember… wax on… wax off. Wax on… wax off. Sayonara Tony-san.”
OK, that was just plain freaky. First Terry said, “It will find you if you want it to.” Now Tim said, “Not everything is as seems.” What do these two statements mean? Will these encounters help me solve this mystery? And, why didn’t Tim use the word “it” in his final statement? What if it means…
