Martin and Lewis. Abbott and Costello. The Odd Couple. One of the great comedy devices is to pair two people with very different personalities. When done well, with great actors, the results can be hilarious.

When tradition is the deciding factor, leaders are often saddled with a teaching model that is no longer effective. More … iChurch What if Steve Jobs designed your next ministry space? No one has redefined the way technology is used like Steve Jobs. He put the word "personal" in the personal computer. His subsequent breakthroughs with music players and phones have shown his uncanny ability to understand the market and create products that, in some cases, people didn't even know they needed.
