I didn’t think a kid could top Gresham’s Halloween creative thinking: A few years ago he decided to be Spiderman dressed up like Santa Claus. Seriously. He did. And we let him. How do you top that?

Stealing From Brian
I stole from Brian this morning.
I spoke to Canadian artists on behalf of Compassion International at this country’s version of Gospel Music Week. It’s pretty much the same as ours but with fewer people and a lot less metrosexuality and self-promotion. It’s not so much an industry/media event as it seems to be a support…
