Following our knock-down, drag-out event at Greensboro, with Tony Jones telling stories and yours truly pushing the message of Jesus through the \u201cLukan thread,\u201d Tony and I gathered together for a brief respite and you can see, because he\u2019s checking out my pleated and cuffed trousers and Born shoes and colored T-shirt, that he\u2019s in for some big changes. He\u2019s here admitting he\u2019s got more training to do and I\u2019m, of course, holding out a peace offering. Here\u2019s the interview<\/a> I did with him, too.
\nJust in case you don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about, this is all in fun. ( 8) )

\nKris took this picture of Anthony Smith and me while we were in Greensboro. I met Anthony last year, and I can\u2019t wait to see him again: he\u2019s full of ideas and not afraid to speak his mind with incisiveness. And he\u2019s got a great set of shoulders.
