The situation with the Duke lacrosse team is getting ugly. The community, school, and student body is torn over the accusations leveled at the men’s lacrosse team over an alleged rape occurring at a house leased by players from the team. The charges are disgusting. Rape. Strangulation. And apparently shocking accusations are enough for some. [...]

Yep, it’s two post Tuesday for a very good reason. As my post history and blogroll indicates I have, for some time, been pursuing blog posts detailing the specifics of the Gospel, calling it my What Is The Gospel? Project. Now the gentlemen at The Together For The Gospel Blog appear to be launching on [...]

Forgive the light-weight blog material of the past few days. I’m still trying to get my new job integrated with my free time schedule. I’ll get back to better material (I know “better” is a very relative term coming from me) as soon as I get it figured out. In the meantime I’ve got a [...]

Some friends and I are trying to start a group local to Sparta (the town I live in) where we gather with other believers for edification.

It looks real similar to this year: huge dropoff after an impressive regular season. By the way, this [...]

I’m Back! I made it back safe and sound from the worldview weekend with Jared‘s church. As soon as I get my manuscript notes typed up I’ll post the talks/sermons (not sure what to call them) I did while I was there. I also started a new job at company in Cookeville working in their [...]

Although it is the 2nd day of the NCAA tournament I forfeited my perch in front of my television around midday in order to attend a matinee showing of the latest comic-to-big-screen move V for Vendetta. Having enjoyed the comic on which the movie is based I had eagerly awaited the release of the movie. [...]

I plan on spending the day working on my notes for an upcoming worldview retreat & watching the NCAA Tournament. If you don’t have such stimulating events scheduled for today let me recommend two blogs dealing with similar subjects from different angles. The subject: Pastoral Ministry & The Local Church The Angle from Fide-O: Why [...]
