Here are things that were said on the campaign trail last night. Sadly, we can’t really consider this a drop in political discourse because well there was that whole 1824 election where Andrew Jackson was accused of being a murderer and then accusations of the “corrupt bargain” in 1825 when Jackson lost to President john [...]
The joys of being away all weekend is that you miss some of the stories of the weekend. Here are some of the thoughts you might have seen in this space had I been available all weekend.
Here they are:
Danica Patrick did something no other female has done before in IRL. She won a race, winning [...]
So, I survived.
Four flights, lack of sleep, and being inundated with more information in 72 hours than an entire year of seminary, I survived training for YouthWorks this summer. It was a great weekend. I was able to meet some great people from across the country and be myself and learn about others. Also, I [...]
Tomorrow is the big day.
I’m going to take a ride on the friendly skies tomorrow and let’s just say it’s going to be a show. The last time I flew was in October 1996, I was coming home to West Virginia from a week-long trip to Washington, D.C., for a leadership conference and I was [...]
It’s a beautiful day here in Kentucky. The sun is out. It’s about 70-plus degrees. A great day for some golf.
Yes, golf.
I haven’t been able to play in a few weeks because of my arm issues and today I had the need for 18 holes of frustration, long putts, lost balls, and water hazards. Actually, [...]
Today marks the one year anniversary of the horrible massacre at Virginia Tech that killed 32 students.
In your days today, take a moment to remember the students, faculty, and staff at Virginia Tech. Remember the 32 families still grieving with the loss. And also remember the family of Seung-Hui Cho, the mentally ill student who [...]
First, I’m blamed for global warming.
Now, I’m blamed for the country’s economic woes.
A new study by Institute of American Values, Institute for Marriage and Public Policy, Families Northwest, and the Georgia Family Council, divorce and out-of-wedlock childbirths cost the American people $112 billion annually.
My bad. Can we stop blaming my divorce on the world’s environmental [...]
I learned today where I’m going for the summer.
Bayou La Batre, Alabama.
I’ve never been there, but I believe scenes from Forrest Gump were shot there.
But there will be a lot of good things taking place there this summer. For one, as a friend of mine said, 10 weeks in the pressure cooker that is the [...]
As a youth pastor, there are a lot of joys. The laughter and the sense of triumph on the kids’ faces after they successfully drenched the youth pastor with water brings contagious laughter. And the look of kid’s face when they are finally understanding the truth of our risen Lord is priceless.
But, while there are [...]
Well, it was going to happen. At some point in my seminary travels, it was going to happen. And today it happened.
The first sermon that I’ll ever give is coming and it’s coming soon. May 4 to be exact, just three Sundays away. I’ll be preaching at the church that I’ve been serving as its [...]
