jeep rides, andy stanley, and andrew

I love my Jeep. Andrew, my soon-to-be five-year-old LOVES riding in the Jeep. He just thinks it's cool...and he thinks his dad is cool. Who am I to disagree?

I have a CD-changer in my Jeep. Ten Cd's. No music. I know, weird, huh? All ten slots in the magazine have teaching Cd's in them (Hybels, Mike Breaux, Ed Young, Erwin McManus, Rob Bell). And, oh yeah, I keep Cd's of my own messages around so I can listen, critique (and cringe) while in my Jeep. One of my favorites, and most frequently listened to speakers is Andy Stanley.

Andrew knows this by now. And he knows there's no chance for music when he rides with me. But he wants something playing through the speakers...so a few months ago, he began asking me...not, "Daddy, can we listen to some music?" But rather, "Daddy, can we listen to Andy Stanley?"

Yup. Andrew ASKS to listen to Andy Stanley. How many four-year-old do you know that specifically request Andy Stanley Cd's? Funny though, he never asks to listen to a Cd of me preaching.
