Winner of the Snuggie Contest

Ben Arment is fantastic. He put together an awesome prize package for a Stuff Christians Like reader (it included 6 books and a wearable blanket) in celebration of what is undoubtedly going to be a great conference. (It’s called Story, you should go. Donald Miller is.)

After sorting through the most ridiculously awesome comments about what should be added to the Metrosexual Worship Leader Scorecard (You can read them all here) I picked a winner. I don’t know who “The Missional Position” is but he’s hilarious.

Thanks for commenting. Here’s to more snuggie giveaways in the future.

Here is the comment that won:

  1. Wait, wait, wait. When did fair trade and (presumably) good, indie music become metro? Does this mean I've become the high maintenance type of girl?

    I have learned my lesson. I will never call anyone metro ever again because having the term used on my type puts me on the defensive. I'm such a jerk.

  2. Thanks so much John and pass my thanks along to Ben Arment as well!! I plan on coming to Story so maybe we could sit under the warmth of the Snuggie and share Razzles together. And throw Skittles at Metro Sexual Worship Leaders when they act all "metro-y".

    Thanks again so much!!

    Michael
