I can't think of many things more useless than the altar call. I blame Charles Finney.

Jr. High Ministry
High School and Jr. High Ministry is a world of difference. I may be a rarity but I think Jr. High is much easier than High School. Most people despise Jr. Highers (mainly because it seems like they are hooked up to an endless supply of Monster) but I love them. I love that they still want to tackle me in the hallway. I love that they laugh at my ultra corny jokes. I love that they are still innocent enough to accept the gospel. Sadly, most don't stay that way.
I love High Schoolers because even though they are too cool for pretty much anything they are hungry and desperate for God and community. They are honest with their shortfalls and needs. Ministry is highly rewarding and I can't believe I get paid for this.
Go Texas!!
I can't believe I am saying this but I will be cheering for Texas tonight in the National Championship. I am doing so mainly because I like the Longhorn's coach Mack Brown. I read an article on ESPN describing Mack Brown the person. Apparently, upon winning the National Championship in 2005 Brown made his players promise that would not be the greatest day of their lives. I love that!

Hail to the Redskins?
Doug Gottlieb on ESPN radio this morning said that the new Redskins hires are the perfect storm. Don't we hear this every year? Regardless, I will die loving my skins.

Bible Reading
My walk with Christ has been highly impacted by the Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan from NavPress. I am impressed and amazed by the continuity of the Bible (and more importantly loving Jesus more). It takes you through the Bible in a year with each day having a portion of the OT History, OT Poetry, NT Letters and the Gospels.
I've also noticed that my emotional health is affected when I am not in God's Word. Hopefully, reading God's Word will never be work but rather response and desperation for Him.
