The following happens between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.

…at a poker table with Dave Ferguson, the senior pastor of Community Christian Church—a multi-site church in the Chicago area; Brad from ChurchMarketingSucks.com; Scott Hodge, the lead pastor of Orchard Valley Community Church in Aurora, IL and "Chris," the guy who doesn’t like this 24 series on my blog. It was a unique group of people to be gathered around a Texas Hold ‘Em table. Several of them weren’t even sure if they were allowed to play poker. (For their sake, let’s keep this our little secret. After all, they’re only playing poker in my dream.)

Throughout the game, each of the players demonstrated some rather odd behaviors. For example, Dave continually was looking for ways to expand the game into different rooms of the house. He wanted to add several new tables and just play the game via video in each location. Kevin thought more people would show up to play if we increased our direct mail advertising. Scott just wanted to move the game to Starbucks. (Hmmm…I wonder if Scott has a bad British accent.) And, no matter what cards I was dealt, Chris kept on telling me to fold.

I’m not sure what, if anything, this means, but I’m sure it can’t be good. It doesn’t matter though, contrary to Chris’s wishes, I’m all in…
