Please Put in Damon Huard

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

Trent Green doesn’t have it today. Sorry, Trent. I’m praying for sanity with Herm Edwards and putting in the QB that really got the Chiefs into the playoff with his superb play in his starts, Damon Huard.

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

I’m curious as to what emerging churches, house churches… any alternative to the establisment, actually, is doing for children’s ministry?
One of the questions I get asked most frequently is, “What about the children?” Once I start talking about a structure which is not program-driven, persons thoughts go to the most programmed of all ministries in [...]

Happy New Year!

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

I’m amazed that the weather was uncharacteristically warm – for the season – in Indiana. Usually when I go back, it’s colder than normal. The last Christmas I travelled to the Hoosier state, it was the second coldest temperatures since they started keeping track of temp…
I’m in the Charlotte airport waiting to see if I [...]
