I also liked your typo about the "pests"-sometimes Jackpot can be a pest! I think its great that you let anon and any other lurkers know that we are normal,everyday people who come from all walks of life and from all over the world.<br /><br />Risa-I was wondering where you got the time to count all of DJ's words:)!<br /><br />GDA-You can be a Blogger Uncle! Give Gus a hug from Jackpot (my poodle). That's unless Gus is a cat, then Jackpot might run. He's never seen a cat.<br /><br />Carmen-I like your idea of getting together for a party around the time of the release of Chris' new CD.<br /><br />AmyAmy's Purple Poodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600225714012700362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-18694501561188128172010-03-23T18:51:14.100-05:002010-03-23T18:51:14.100-05:00Emilyboo -

It's great that you were able to have him at your church for a worship service, that's something I've always hoped to experience - Chris leading worship in a church service - ever since first hearing on Idol that he was a worship leader. (I differentiate in saying "in a church service" because actually all of his concerts I've attended are worshipful & filled with God's presence :). <br /><br />Anyway, I'm super-rambling. It was a thrill to read your story :) and you really did get a great picture with Chris!<br /><br />LoriHstryQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979990637763042578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-49996428706791892892010-03-22T20:05:28.363-05:002010-03-22T20:05:28.363-05:00Oh, a y'all by GDA...that's what happens w...Oh, a y'all by GDA...that's what happens when you spend too much time with Southern Belles! ; ) And hey, there, Shalom!!risaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754939096270758631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-33910224988606863052010-03-22T20:03:04.855-05:002010-03-22T20:03:04.855-05:00Girl, I got better things to do than to count your...Girl, I got better things to do than to count your words.
