Well, what we DO know about the 2021 draft is that the first three teams will take a QB. Jax at 1.1 will definitely take Trevor Lawrence. The Jets just traded Sam Darnold away and the 49ers are trying to figure out what to do about Jimmy Garoppolo; they traded up to #3…so that’s a given. The question is going to be: “what QB will they take?”My best guess is that the Jets will take Justin Fields at 1.2; Fields is the best prospect outside of Lawrence, he has the size and arm strength. He’s also a high-character kid who led the effort by B1GRead More →

The Steelers would reach the Super Bowl again in 2010, losing to a red-hot Green Bay Packers team led by burgeoning superstar quarterback Aaron Rogers. Since 2010, however, the Steelers have only reached the AFC Championship Game once, losing to the New England Patriots in 2016.Read More →

As I write this on September 28, 2017, I am reminiscing about the day I met the woman who would eventually become my wife.  I don’t remember a lot about Sunday, September 28, 1997…at least not much before about 5pm.  That’s when I met her.  It was right after embarkation in San Juan, Puerto Rico and I was tasked with one of my best friends, Mike Wycoff, to do Bingo card sales just outside of the main theater on the MS Seaward (Norwegian Cruise Line).  That was the first (and only) time we were tasked with said assignment. As she approached the table, I noticedRead More →

One of my absolute favorite passages in all of scripture is the argument between Jesus and the Pharisees in John 8.  Now, this argument began much earlier and lasts longer than just this one chapter…but this section is particularly interesting because of the nature of what’s going on here.  In this sermon I cover what I believe to be the essence of the argument (this time)…and what it means for us.  The Gospels confront our faith, and in this one, Jesus does the confrontation.  Check it out… Of note:  In this sermon I call out one of our congregation who is a most humble gentleman. Read More →

A Few videos from last night’s choral concert at Carson Middle School.  The music program there is absolutely amazing, led by David Woten (6th and 7th grade) and Jamie Davis (8th grade). Hope you enjoy. CMS Select is an auditioned group of 6-8th grades.  They meet from 7am – 8am on Tuesday mornings.  This group is used to help those whose voices are changing by pairing them up with older singers who are experiencing the same effects. A funny thing happened with this song.  The first performance was not recorded on the audio track by the technicians…so this is the second performance of the song…whichRead More →

I was asked to preach this week at the North Hills Community Baptist Church as our Pastor was away for the weekend.  The topic selected was atonement and repentance.  Why is it that Christians, in our modern society, are still talking about sacrifice?  Why are we still talking about blood? Take a listen… Sermon content credit goes to Dr. Ergun Caner from whom I borrowed a great inspiration for this sermon.  Dr. Caner is the former President of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and Brewton-Parker College in Georgia.Read More →

In the Wild Card game last weekend, the Bengals and Steelers both tried their best to see who could be the dirtiest team on the field. The Steelers players and coaches benefited from multiple missed calls to survive the game…thanks to the Bengals’ edging them at the line by committing two of the dumbest penalties ever seen. Cincinnati fans blamed Joey Porter (on the field when he shouldn’t have been), Steelers fans don’t think anything was wrong other than Wallace Gilberry intentionally bumping Porter. The problem with the whole thing is that both Marvin Lewis and Mike Tomlin have lost control of their teams…and coachingRead More →

Dear Dawgs, In case you aren’t aware, you just lost the most successful coach in your program’s history.  That’s right, Mark Richt was more successful than anyone in your program’s history and you pushed him out the door.  Vince Dooley…”Hall of Fame coach”…is a myth.  He’s a good coach who won the same number of National and Conference championships in 25 years at Georgia…that Steve Spurrier did in half the time at Florida. Winning From 2001 to 2015, Richt won 74% of his games overall and 70% of his conference games.  Dooley coached at Georgia for 25 years, so is it fair to compare allRead More →

I never really understood just how complicated Thanksgiving dinner is if you have a big family.  When you’re a kid, you show up, eat and fall asleep…come to think of it, that what the dads did too (well, until the turkey deep-fryer came along…grunt!).  Seems legit, I mean, who doesn’t fall asleep watching the Detroit Lions? Anyway, a few years ago the wife and I began hosting Thanksgivings at our house and because I love to cook, it was more of an adventure than anything else.  I’ve taken some recipes, developed some more until I came up with a fantastic Thanksgiving Day feast!  Now, ifRead More →
