  1. Have you heard this conversation before--

    "So, what was the message about today?"

    "Sin."

    "Was he for it or against it?"

    Hmmmmm. I thought of this because the chapel message was about sin. So I told Rob (who was at the elementary school during chapel), "Well, the message was about sin. [pause] And he was against it."

    This point is very concise.
