Here are some random interesting ones:

  • innocent iii and romanization and power and pope and faith – Incredibly this somehow generated 28 searches. Your guess is as good as mine.
  • try to understand turn back tim – I do try to understand and turn back!
  • raspberries on her – No comment
  • challies.com – I’m glad to see this search leads to my site, though I wonder why one has to search for it
  • solid rock church statue – I had a reporter for a major American newspaper ask to interview me about this a few weeks ago. I declined.
  • happy is a yuppy word – I broke the news of this song to Switchfoot fans and it’s generated some visits.
  • man hands – Isn’t that a Seinfeld episode?
  • bar – Not too sure about this one.
  • wild at heart unbiblical – Yes, it is.
  • does my church family confirm it? is it consistent with my s.h.a.p.e.? – My guess would be no!
  • steve camp divorce wife – When did my site become People magazine?
  • why did pepsi change their colour – Sorry, but I can’t help you with that.

I don’t know when Pepsi changes its color – after all, I’m a Coke drinker. I don’t know why Steve Camp got divorced and I won’t show you pictures of my man hands!
