- For the first time in memory I do not have a team in the Final Four.
- I have had the stomach flu three times in my adult life. Each of those have been since I moved to the pulpit. Each time has occured late on a Saturday night, keeping me from preaching the next day. A burden for me, a blessing for my congregation?
- Is it just me, or is there an overwhelming number of men in the Churches of Christ with goatees? Tracy thinks I am crazy but I saw a large number of men sporting the “goat” at Tulsa this past week.
- This was the first time at Tulsa I didn’t buy a bunch of books. I had a hard time endulging my reading jones while passing by all of the missions and relief efforts that could use my money so much more.
- And what is with the suits and herbal remedies? That fits into soul-winning, how?
- One question that emerged for me this weekend: Am I so self-absorbed that my idea of sacrifice is nothing more than delayed gratification? More on that to come.
- Best Speaker of the week? Mark Moore, hands down. Fascinating stuff. Check out his notes from the workshop on his main page.
- It looks like the BBC is coming to film me on April 9th. 15 minutes ends on April 10th.

Since you were losing your insides, I got the tap to do the preaching gig. Went ok, but Obediah needed your tender loving care…Glad you left me a short book with not much to talk about….We beat the Baptists to lunch though…

I owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude. But I notice you didn’t respond to the goatee question.

I’ve been without the goatee for a total of six weeks since 1998, and that was only for a run of a play and the director forbid it. It takes me so long to grow facial hair that I’m afraid that if I shave it, it won’t come back…As I think about our congregation, we do have a few goats. I’m not going to worry though unless Reggie, Billy, and/or Phil decide to sport one!
How you feelin’?

Doing much better.
By the way, I will probably do a condensed version of my Obadiah sermon Wed. night. I may need a little extra time.

Scott, I was ENTP with the “E” being borderline with the “I.”
Can you e-mail me what that means?

I actually did a class one Sunday on the book of Obadiah…and I’ve never seen so many dumbfounded looks in all my life. Oh well - it SOUNDED like a good idea when it was rattling around inside my head.
