Tim is this an elephant in the room week…….Rowleys has been de-elephanted! Now you are suggesting another elephant has arrived,

Neologism of the day: de-elephantify (as in de-elephantify the room) Talk about that thing we know is there but don't usually acknowledge.

I spent a couple days this past week on the phone connecting with each of the campus ministry leaders in LA and Orange County. In one of the conversations, one of the leaders said this:

"I just had to de-elephantize it…"

What he meant was, there was an issue out there that he knew would be an issue if he didn't call it out. There was an elephant in the room.
