d o p v o t t s b 2 I g p t r r w u h a m a h R This month Good News Wants to Know… If you were tasked to give a TED Talk on a random topic about a hobby of yours or an area of interest outside of work that you've long desired to delve into, what would it be about? A random hobby or topic I would want to do a TED Talk on would include understanding and growing orchids in South Florida. I love seeing them come alive each spring and the amazing colors and variety. Jennifer O'Flannery Anderson, President/CEO, Community Foundation of Broward I would give a TED Talk on experiencing God’s power through his creation. A natural way to encounter the divine by hunting, fishing and being outdoors. Andrew Holmes, President, 4KIDS I would like to travel and delve into Paul’s journeys through Greece and modern day Turkey from Corinth all the way to current day Syria, exploring and documenting the sites and ruins -- “walking in Paul’s footsteps” as the Gospel was shared with the gentiles. William “Bill” C. Davell, Director, Tripp Scott I’d spend 18 minutes discussing why War is a card game of skill, not luck. Bob Denison, President, Denison Yachting If I was asked to do a TED talk, I would talk about the journey that my wife Eileen and I have taken since meeting in 1991. This path has led us to serving our community in public service for me, and the nonprofit world for her, as well as serving on multiple community boards that further the arts, culture and preservation of our natural resources. So many plan their every step, but we have chosen to put faith in God and work hard every day to see where we can make an impact for others. If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life! Chip LaMarca, State Representative, Florida House District 100 Since I have had two sons that have played college baseball, I would love to do a talk on college recruiting and the realities of playing college sports. Chris Lane, President, First Priority of South Florida If I were to do a TED Talk about anything, it would be: Kids - rearing them, traveling with them, loving them, preparing them for life and teaching them to know the Lord. Being a parent is an awesome responsibility but also one of the greatest things any person can do. It’s a blast! H. Collins Forman, P.A. I'd enjoy researching and preparing for a TED Talk about recent archeological discoveries in Israel that corroborate the Biblical story, including the veracity of the Shroud of Turin. Deborah Cusick, FAU Campus Volunteer, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship If I were tasked to give a TED Talk on a random topic about a hobby of mine, it would be the societal impact of music. I have a keen interest and fascination with various genres, the mastering of composing and playing instruments, and the universal impact that music has on society and culture. Dennis DeMarois, Executive Director/CEO, Gathering Palm Beach I would love to encourage people to practice the art of truly listening to others and have productive discussions about cultural, political or relational issues with those of whom they do not agree. We should approach an issue with our own well-researched set of facts and evidence for our position and be willing to learn from someone else who has their own evidence for believing an opposing view. The goal would not only be to learn to treat opposition with Christ-like respect and love, but also to learn to defend our own position with facts and evidence that has informed our position without simply giving a nod to our fellow lemmings and expect the same from those with whom we disagree, all the while not giving in to rudeness or hostility. Dolores King St. George, King Communications and GraceNet Media I would speak about the importance of prayer. Having a relationship with the Lord is about spending time together. Spending time together means spending time in prayer. If you want a relationship with God, we must spend time in prayer. Praying is sharing our thoughts; he speaks to us through the activities that happen in our lives. Gregg Wallick I’ve been a TED Talk fan for fifteen years: subscribed to the talks, read the book, even auditioned but didn’t get picked. If I was given the chance to do a TED Talk, I would capitalize on that sacred ten minutes with my lifelong mission, mantra and battle: How To Live When You Want To Die. And I would use the irrefutable clinical cases from the Bible as my foundation, proof and evidence. Heather Palacios, Founder, Wondherful, Inc History and the different cultures in the world have always been of great interest to me. If and when I could, I would love to travel and experience God’s creation, talk to the people in different countries and see what makes them tick! We will share Heaven with people He has placed all over this awesome world, but I want to meet some of them here first! Helen Wayner P.A., Century 21 Hansen Realty I enjoy encouraging people to go on a mission trip. I have been to Africa on more than 50 mission trips with volunteers. When a volunteer goes on a well-planned mission trip, without fail, the volunteer learns so much about others and themselves and they return home with a whole new perspective on life and making a difference. Don Campion, President, Banyan Air Service, and Team Lead, Egbe Medical Mission If given the opportunity to give a TED Talk on a hobby, it would to discuss the vast knowledge we have yet to discover about human nature based on our Devine Andrew Holmes William “Bill” C.
