Because contests are fun
Sophie - April 5, 2009
Our buddy Rich always provides us with incredible photographs after Living Proof Live or Deeper Still events, and this past weekend was no exception. In fact, I checked my email while I was still sitting in the New Orleans airport Saturday afternoon, and sure enough, I found two emails that were chock-full-o-great images.
You can't even imagine how grateful Melanie and I were, especially since the powerful flashes on our little point and shoot cameras pretty much just enable us to take some excellent pictures of the stage steps.
So anyway, as I was looking through Rich's photographs, I ran across this one, and I immediately decided it was my favorite. Because like so many of y'all, I am just wild about the five people you see below.
And I thought it would be oh-so-fun if we could give this picture a caption.
Fire away with your best one, everybody. You can leave as many captions as you'd like, but please leave each caption in a separate comment.
We'll close entries, this Friday, April 10th, and we'll round up some LifeWay folks to select a winner.
The prize? A copy of Kelly Minter's No Other Gods Bible study.
Caption away, sweet friends.

OK, I don’t think I’m allowed to enter this competition, since I’m in the picture and all. But here are my two offerings:
That 70’s Show called and they want their wardrobe back.
(Travis whispers to Angela Cruz): “Seth believed me when I told him we were marching and grinning on measure 4. Teeheehee.”
That one was laugh-out-loud funny in my head. But it was not nearly as funny when I typed it. Say it in your head and maybe it will be funnier.

“Taking Matthew 6:25b to a whole new level!”
After submitting my first caption and then reading through the other postings, I realized mine was too similar to another comment, so I HAD to submit a 2nd.
This is all in good fun and just a silly take on Travis’ post.
Posted on April 8, 2009 1:27 AM
No, I’m the one leading the line dance. Do this…..
Posted on April 8, 2009 7:46 AM
I am without a caption idea now, b/c I’ve read the other ones and am laughing so hard I’ve got tears!

Dern! I almost got all the way through the comment list to see if someone had already used my idea, and Kristi did. I won’t reuse it, but the first thing I thought of was that commercial for Pepto! Now that is in my head, I can’t think of anything else!
