HT Top Ten

Posted At: 9:41am by Rev. William M. Cwirla

Every once and a while I need to pay the rent for my Blogosphere space and give some props to my Higher Things host. So here's another one of those Top Ten lists I wrote on the flight home from Houston after a great HT Extreme! retreat on the Frio River.

TOP TEN REASONS WHY HIGHER THINGS IS ABSOLUTELY
THE COOLEST YOUTH ORGANIZATION ON THE PLANET

10. All Lutheran speakers all the time
9.    Worship you can actually do in your home congregation
8.    Really cool hymns by old dead guys
7.    Purple T-shirts
6.    Great Blog
5.    Worship, work, play - and we know the difference
4.    HT Conferences, HT Web, HT Magazine, HT Retreats, HT Lock-ins, HT Christ on Campus - enough said.
3.    Pre-approved service orders from pre-approved hymnals
2.    HT Extreme! Action Figures™
1.    Two words: Word / Sacrament

Sorry. Had to edit the list. I misspelled "piñata." My apologies.

I sure enjoyed reading your posts on the "The Feast" official blog, especially the one where you described the large gathering of young people singing "Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands." I would love to have experienced that.

I hope to send my kids to the Higher Things conferences when they are old enough.

Pr. Cwirla,

What, are you crazy?

Scuba diving is for heavy spenders and risk takers. I hope you're not planning to put that book into practice.

I always thought Lutheran ministers carried teology textbooks with them everywhere and had afternoon tea, kind-of- like in the movies.

I didn't mention the part about sky diving, did I?

Just to reassure you that our clergy haven't slipped off the "deep end," we sipped Gatoraide in the afternnon. And Mallie was wearing his clericals under his wet suit.
