the united methodist reporter is taking submissions for "united methodist of the year." i think beth has it hands down. i too am part of the "we are ridiculously methodist" group on facebook, but she has command over the church potluck calendar, i can’t compete with that.

if they do not want to give it to beth then i say it has to go to jay. he has a methodist related story for everything. it is amazing. i think he even served with john wesley once (though i think that was during his baptist days).
