J.D. Greear, SBC President

Posted on by

It was somewhat expected by those in the know that J.D. Greear would be elected to serve as SBC President at the annual meeting in Dallas this week. I was still somewhat surprised by the 68% of ballots he received from messengers. While many were pleased with the announcement the reactions ranged from “Thank God” to talk of the downward spiral the SBC has been on for years. While I would make a good 3 1/2 point Calvinist at best I am going out on a limb and saying this choice will not seal our fate. Greear’s election is not the final nor any other nail in the coffin.

Father’s Day is coming up and I’m here to speak out in defense of the dad joke. Continue reading →

That’s actually an old image but as subtropical storm Alberto makes landfall today in Alabama it will be Georgia, the Carolina’s and Florida that get the bulk of the rainfall. It’s been raining in Florida since Saturday so hang in there Sunshine State.

Happy Memorial Day to Americans everywhere. This is Happy Monday #273. Continue reading →

My thoughts on Disney

Screenshot 2018-05-02 at 10.16.11 AMMy thoughts on Disney, for what it’s worth. Disney is not only a secular institution it is a business. They produce a multitude of entertainment products. I was never fully sold on the SBC boycott of all things Disney back in the 90’s, and that’s when I was young and foolish. There is so much filth and violence on t.v. and the big screen that children shouldn’t see or hear that it was a tough call for families to ignore the billion dollar entertainment giant cranking out the movies, shows, characters and songs that all children love.
