- I spent a lot of time thinking about the future this week. I had some writing that I had to do but a lot of time to just think about where God is taking Community Christian.
- There are some Issues with the building project at the Sharpsburg campus – that's on my mind a lot. PRAY!
- This was an easy read but wow is it a good book.
- This was in my head this week – a lot “Oh my gosh I’m speaking again. I wish I had more time off.”
- “I need to get to sleep it’s not like the Braves are going to score anyway."
- Love him or hate him here is a fairly extensive article about Rush Limbaugh.
- This is a dumb idea. BUT with that said I hope someone get’s me one for my collection of “stupid consumer stuff Christians make and buy.”
- Who knew there was data on this? How about you - Pop, Coke or Soda?
- The other thing that dominated my head this week is how proud I am of Community Christian. We make so many changes around here in an effort to reach more unconnected people and for the most part you stay on track. I am most blessed to get to be a part of what God is doing here. Please keep praying. I believe great things are head for us this fall and in the next year.

Since this is an election year, I did a quick and dirty statistical analysis using the map you linked to and a red state/blue state map, in order to see if there's a correlation between soft drink nomenclature and political leanings. 95% of blue state voters use the terms soda (60%) or pop (35%). The most populous blue states, particularly in large urban areas, favor "soda". Red state voters are divided--40% of them say "Coke", 47% say "pop", and 13% say "soda". As a predictor of political inclination, I would infer that a person who calls a soft drink "soda" is more likely to be a liberal; moderates/independents would tend to say "pop"; conservatives would tend to say "Coke".
When I was a kid, in the areas of eastern Tennesse where my parents grew up, the common term for a soft drink was "dope". This usage went out of favor for obvious reasons.
Dennis you have done a great service to us all by adding your anaylisis to this vital data. I'm sure it's not a surprise to anyone I'm a "coke" guy.
Using Dennis's math, that still puts "coke" in the minority.
and will someone please explaine to me how a Pepsi can be a "coke" but a Toyota cant be a "ford"?
