Extended Comments: First off, is it too much to ask that the NBA draft take place on a weekend night? I was up until 11:00pm last night and I didn’t watch the entirety of the 2nd round. Do your fans a favor and schedule this thing early or on a weekend night where we can [...]

On the eve of the 2007 NBA draft I’ve got two sports related questions bouncing around in my head that I have to share with someone and my blog seemed like the most reasonable forum to do so. The first is NFL related. Since the NFL prognosticators started talking potential starters for the upcoming season [...]

I thought it interesting that Daniel Akin’s email reflection on the Southern Baptist Convention sounded a lot like what you’ve read on certain blogs (Examples 1 and 2) – as well as this one – regarding the adoption of the Executive Committee’s statement regarding the BFM 2k and contra what you have read on others [...]

Annual Meeting Review and Evaluation I’ve been meaning to write this SBC Annual Meeting wrap up for several days know but I keep stopping after the opening sentence because I’m having a hard time knowing where to begin and where to stop. Quite frankly, I’m thoroughly disappointed by the activities of our messengers at this [...]

The title of this post is a bit deceptive. I’ve really got nothing to say about the evening session. The business sessions were uneventful and I didn’t stay for Ed Stetzer’s presentation.

I [...]

Let me apologize up front for this attempt to cover the entire first day of the convention in one post. The lack of free reliable wireless internet access limits my ability to post quickly and regularly so this long summary is the only way I have of getting my notes into the blogosphere. Please also [...]

If you’ve not read the tragic case of Genarlow Wilson don’t be surprised. Despite the appalling circumstances of this young man’s life and the attention it has received on a national level it wasn’t until I read an ESPN story entitled Outrageous Justice that details of this young man’s incarceration entered my perception – despite [...]

Yes, Christie and I are in the general vicinity of San Antonio (Helotes, TX to be exact). I’ve not been on the old blog since our arrival on Saturday. There are two reasons for this: 1. We spent Friday night through Saturday morning in or on some combination of the Nashville airport, a flight to [...]

There are a lot of reasons not to post this. One, it’s two sports posts in a row. Two, the issue it addresses has lost a lot of steam over the past five days. Still, it’s such a remarkable glimpse into current events from approximately three years ago that I had to put it up. [...]
