...haven't yet seen Mamma Mia!, but if it's half as entertaining as Richard Corliss's review, I will have spent my money well [July 28]. I intend to use the phrase "practically a sequoia" often to describe my own 61-year-old personage. Whether I agree or disagree with his opinion, I will remain grateful to him for an evening's amusement. Patricia W. Gould, NAPERVILLE...
...guess it is. That's kind of the joke of it. Who are the last guys in the world that would function well in an action-movie-type situation? The answer is potheads. I've definitely spent large periods of my life where I've done absolutely nothing but smoke weed, so it was during those periods where we thought, If someone was trying to murder us, that would be pretty entertaining--until they killed...

As Warren tallies it, he is just 28 years into a 40-year commitment to pastor Saddleback. He has written a holiday book, The Purpose of Christmas. He spent much of the past six months in 20 countries doing purpose-driven training and will be traveling to New York City in November, when 350 churches will do "40 Days of Purpose." As we speak, he is in Buenos Aires; yesterday was Brazil. His networking presents escalating opportunities...
