Philip Gulley-5.27.07-When Joan was a little girl she was diagnosed with extreme near-sightedness and fitted with eyeglasses.  This past month, she went to Dan Whipple, our resident ophthalmologist, who did something to the surface of her eyes involving a hammer and chisel and now she can see for the first time in forty years and boy, is she mad.  All these years I've been telling her I was handsome, and now the truth is out.  The medicine wore off, the fuzziness went away, she looked at me and said, "You’ve got to be kidding."

Jim Mulholland-5.19.07-Imagine that you're deep in conversation with a minister, a doctor, and an artist whose work you greatly admire. You’re really enjoying this opportunity to speak with intelligent, creative, spiritually grounded people. People just like you. Suddenly, you look around and realize you're surrounded by an axe murderer, a suicide bomber, and a member of the Hell's Angels. What do you do?

Philip Gulley-5.19.07-I am honored to be with you this evening, building bridges here in Bloomington, Indiana.  I appreciate the kind words of introduction and the gracious remarks some of you have shared with me.  I haven't heard so many nice things said about me since last month when I was speaking at a church and the pastor was sick and I had to introduce myself.
