Lordship – the horse flogging begins…

Posted on by

I blogged tangentially on Phil Johnson’s Lordship series in my post ‘Morphin’ Time…‘. Last night I wrapped up my class that surveyed John Ortberg’s The Life You’ve Always Wanted. Today Phil has posted the last of the Lordship series and an open post for any doubters/debators to keep on whaling on the horse that has died. I’m linking to the comments thread, because the meat of the discussion takes place there, regardless of where you stand on the ‘Lordship debate’, I think it is a good read, and to hear the Lordship debate story from Phil’s insider perspective is edifying.

This series I’ve continued to read as I continued to prepare for my class and other limited teaching duties, and it provided a good anchor point to many of the themes in the lighter topics of TLYAW. The class I taught had a few ‘new’ Christians, and the perspective of Lordship, I believe, is an important tact to cover with newer converts, and always a good anchor to hit with more mature believers as well. I don’t consider it a coincidence in the timing of how things were written.
Anyhoo, this is a two-purpose post, one to get a Blogspotting link from Team Pyro, and the other fulfills my NaBloPoMo responsibilities for today. 😀

Well at least it isn’t like San Dimas.

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: The West

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you’re a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

After 10 weeks of grueling fantasy football, I’m set to take sole possession of first place with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses.  Last week I dropped into a two-way tie, but if things hold, I’ll win this week, and he’ll lose.  So with four weeks left, I’m in prime position to make it to the playoffs.

Any Tony, LAUGHED… who’s laughing now?!

“You’re not going crazy, Jack. Crazy people don’t think they’re getting crazy. They think they’re getting saner.”

You are John Locke. You are skilled, intelligent, fearless, secretive, and most likey totally insane. You manipulate those around you to get what you think the island wants. Sure, you’ll find Walt’s dog for him and kill a wild boar or two, but what you’re after are some real answers. You’ve looked into the eye of that island. And what you saw was beautiful. Just let us know what it is sometime, alright?

Your polar opposite is: Walt. You are similar to: Sawyer and Jack.

Sunday Afternoon blahs..

Posted on by

Upward evaluation day, so the afternoon is shot, I don’t get to watch any football, the live update on Yahoo! Fantasy Sports has my football team leading, barely, and I need a lead going into tonight Pats-Colts games.  I have Brady, my opponent has Peyton.  Do the math.  *sigh*  my only consolation is that the Pats D can usually handle Peyton.  Since I’m here at the church, I can’t take my nap, so I’m grumpy… My laptop is low on battery, which means.. well better hit Publish and get my nablopomo committment taken care of, I hope this had been edifying.

nablopomo_120x240.jpgSince my better blogging half is doing it. I may as well sign up to write a bit every day for a month. Last time I did a consecutive posting was on CrazyGator for 40 Days of Purpose.

I’ll be blogging mostly for myself and my 1.5 readers, so I’m unsure of what my topics will be all about. I can blather with the best of them, and I won’t tell you about my lunch (mostly because I hardly ever eat lunch.

I probably also need to be linking to other people more often, and drive the traffic up. I don’t have blogger ads or anything, so you linking and reading me just cost me money, not you. But I’m a traffic whore like anyone else, so feel free to link back to me.

I don’t know if I’m as good at content-free posting as Eric.  I don’t have any important dates looming on the horizon.  I watch way too much TV, and so do my virtual friends.  I dabble on my PC too much, hacking away in vain.  I study and prepare for lessons for Sunday School and Wednesday Discipleship class.  I do take requests, and I love a good meme.  Absolute won’t do any Melissa Theuriau blogging.  And I promise not to video-blog.
Heh!  This thirty-days of posting will practically write itself, then Fussy will have to give me a PRIZE.  If I win.  Which I won’t…
