Earmuffs

Beanie: I…I don’t know why you gotta do it…in front of the kid, with the f’in. All you gotta do is say earmuffs to him, [to kid] “earmuffs”, and you can say “fuck, shit, bitch”…whatever you want.
Frank: Cock. Balls.
Beanie: OK. I’m just proving a point. You don’t have to celebrate it, Frank.

So in the midst of moving and starting a new job that requires her to teach two subject areas she has never taught before, Mrs. LP still managed to pull straight A’s this semester in her Ed.D. program! Needless to say, I am very proud of her!

Homelessness, Christmas and Silly Clergy

If one more member of the clergy refers to Jesus, Mary and Joseph as being homeless, I am going spew egg nog (and you all know how much I hate wasting rum)!
Seriously, did you all pay attention during your Intro to the New Testament class?

One Year Ago

One year ago today I got the greatest early Christmas gift ever:

Happy birthday my sweet angel! Daddy loves you!

A Solo Christmas

So this is my first Christmas as a solo pastor. Regular readers will recall that I have always been involved in team ministry, so the senior pastor and I would split the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services up among us and then do our thing. It was a well oiled machine. This year it [...]

Return to Tradition

Awesome article to be read here. (Thanks to Pr. Scott Seeke for making sure this was passed along to some of the folks in our synod. )
So, what do you all think? What do we do with this information?

What a Punk!

Seriously, Arkansas fired Nutt and hired this punk?!?!? I hope they know they can only expect the same level of commitment out of him that he showed in Atlanta and Louisville. At least Nick Saban had the decency to wait until his season was over before committing mutiny.
