Street Fight

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 →

Marvin’s Uphill Climb

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 →

Prepare a worthy Thanksgiving feast!

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 →

The SEC Schedule, TV Heaven

Is the SEC cheating its television partners in Week 12? Multiple media members have posited the idea that the SEC should join other “Power 5” conferences (BigXII & Pac12) in playing a 9-game conference schedule in the regular season. Tim Brando of Fox Sports (among others) have taken to Twitter and other outlets to decry the week 12 schedule as abysmal and they complain that it is akin to the SEC stealing money from their television partners. Frankly, the SEC’s slate of games in Week 12 is not good (six games against *ahem* less than stellar competition), but I would argue the SEC’s schedule isRead More →

Even when the Southeastern Conference was reaping the rewards of the Bowl Championship Series that crowned seven consecutive National Champions for the conference, its commissioner (Mike Slive) began pushing for a playoff system.  At SEC meetings in the summer of 2007, then-President of the University of Florida, Bernie Machen, advanced the idea of a “Plus One” system that would allow a selection committee to draw-up a championship format. What we have today is not exactly the “Plus One” pushed initially by Machen-then-Slive, but college football would not have its precious playoff without their insistence.  It was Slive who took Machen’s presentation to the remaining commissioners and eventuallyRead More →

America’s Lack of Class

There is a story out of Port Orange, Florida this morning where an elderly man was assaulted in Applebees by a 26-year-old patron. What did he do to earn that beating?  He asked the young man to stop yelling profanities in a family restaurant. Two weeks ago, Florida State University quarterback Jameis Winston stood on a table in the student union and repeated an obscenity. The phrase is part of an internet meme (which I will not repeat or link to here), started as a prank but rapidly spread because people apparently think it is funny to recite profanity on live television. So this is a thing now…Read More →

Sermon delivered on May 25th at the North Hills Community Baptist Church. Audio Link (NHCBC.com) Isaiah 53:1-10 New International Version (NIV) 53 Who has believed our message     and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,     and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,     nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,     a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces     he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. 4 Surely he took up our painRead More →

This thread of comments from over at Deadspin is absolutely fantastic!  It was posted in response to Bill Murray’s speech at some random guy’s bachelor party in Charleston, SC.  …enjoy Yesterday 9:13am VeryWell VeryWell> Drew Magary Yesterday 9:13am He’s correct about the traveling together bit- totally revealing. Paddling a two person canoe is a cheaper way to stress test a budding romance, though.   Woodhouse Woodhouse>VeryWell Yesterday 9:18am There’s a reason why residents of Kauai, Hawaii refer to two-person kayaks as “divorce canoes”   VeryWell VeryWell>Woodhouse Yesterday 9:26am Wouldn’t that be something- if there was less divorce amongst Hawaiians because of outriggers.

Six-Time NBA Champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar speaks-out on the finger-wagging being done by the media and asks the exact question everyone else SHOULD be asking:  This was a surprise to you?  Donald Sterling is truly a despicable human being, but this isn’t news.  Why the moral outrage now? Do not get caught-up in Kareem’s politics here, you’ll miss the greater point. Time Magazine Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Moral outrage is exhausting. And dangerous. The whole country has gotten a severe case of carpal tunnel syndrome from the newest popular sport of Extreme Finger Wagging. Not to mention the neck strain from Olympic tryouts for Morally Superior Head Shaking.Read More →

The New York Times… A Star Player Accused, and a Flawed Rape Investigation By WALT BOGDANICH Tallahassee, Fla. — Early on the morning of Dec. 7, 2012, a freshman at Florida State University reported that she had been raped by a stranger somewhere off campus after a night of drinking at a popular Tallahassee bar called Potbelly’s. As she gave her account to the police, several bruises began to appear, indicating recent trauma. Tests would later find semen on her underwear. For nearly a year, the events of that evening remained a well-kept secret until the woman’s allegations burst into the open, roiling the university andRead More →
