First, an Admission

Yeah, I know.  I haven’t really kept up with my blogging very well.    So, here are a few quick hits (with apologies to 2 guys named Larry).

When a man all of a sudden decides to leave his wife, he is committing murder.  That “one” that was formed in marriage is dead and he is to blame. 

It’s ironic when people complain about people who complain.  Think about it.  This also goes for gossiping about people who gossip or being ungracious to people who are ungracious.

March Madness has to be the best time of year for any true sports fan. 

I went to the Bristol Race this past weekend.  According to this sampling of people, 85% of the world’s population drink beer; 50% have mullets.

The other day, I looked out the window and saw our youngest boy pull down his pants and poop in my Mother-in-law’s front yard.  Lord, help me.

My nominee for the funniest word to write:  poop.

Our March Gladness services have been awesome.  The last one is this  Monday (March 30th) at 7pm.  Dr. Hollie Miller will be preaching.  You should come.  Really.

I like it when people smile.  Even if they have teeth like mine.

I’m disappointed that both of Tennessee’s basketball teams lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.  I’m even more disappointed that more people care about that than they do about all of the children who are aborted, all of the people who go to bed hungry, and all of the people who have not yet begun their relationship with Jesus.

To quote Carl Williams, “Be good to yourself…and each other.”

March Gladness after 2 Weeks

So far our March Gladness services at Stoney Point have been a tremendous blessing.

The first Monday, Rev. Don Pierson preached a convicting and challenging message about being prepared to stand in the gap and about praying for one another.  I encourage you to talk to you pastor about having Don preach at your church.  He is a man who is truly anointed to preach the word and he has an awesome message to bring about the need for biblical prayer.

Last night, Rev. Fredrick Brabson’s sermon was about the experience of a Christian using the ninth chapter of John.  Pastor Brabson is the senior pastor of New Covenant Baptist Church in Knoxville.  His message was timely and true.  Also, many thanks to the Special Friends ministry of Mt. Harmony Baptist Church who touched our hearts through an amazing skit.  I don’t believe that there was a dry eye in the place.

We are looking forward to 3 more Monday nights and hope you will join us.  The services are at 7 pm.  There has been one change to the line-up of preachers.  Dr. Ron Stewart will be preaching on the 23rd instead of Russ Cooper.

We hope to see you there.

Feel the Sting

I attended Carter High School in Strawberry Plain from 1991-1995 and played basketball for the varsity team during my Junior and Senior years.  Even though I am several years removed from High School now and I don’t know any of the players or coaches there anymore, I still consider myself a Hornet.

That being said, I just have to express my congratulations for this year’s boys basketball team for making the State Tournament for the first time.  You can read more about it here:  http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/mar/09/carter-makes-history/.

Way to go, Hornets.  Go over to Murphreesboro and make more teams feel the sting.
