    The only reason Wisconson won is becaue Henne and Hart did not play so the can be healthy enough to beat Ohio State.

    Well I guess we have a rival on our hands in this here blog Mark, I hope you don't mind I really kinda enjoy it!

    As for signs I like the one you posted!

    Nice excuse but it won't "cut" it with me. We also had several of our key players out with injuries - - - PJ Hill (ONLY our running back)and Luke Swan (ONLY our best receiver.) So - - - MI fans, just buck up and take a loss like the rest of us have to!!!!! (Same thing for the Buckeyes. Good for IL for pulling out that win!!! - Speaking of IL, they will be beating many more good teams in the future, hide and watch!!)

    No sympathy from me. We Badgers have been itching to beat our fellow muscadines for a long time!!!!!

    Also Mr. Wolverine, had your boys not tried to go for it on fourth down from their OWN 1 yard line with about 8 minutes left to play and only behind by 2 points, I think you very well may have beaten us.

    However - - - when you lined up to "go for it" on the one yard line at your own end of the field, it just made the Badgers act like Badgers, dig in, and let you know you CAN'T DO THAT IN OUR BACK YARD!!!!

    So - - - you can thank yourselves for giving the momentum BACK to WI at that point. Enough momentum to score two more TDs and let you know your total lack of respect for our defense did NOT go unnoticed.

    Again, :-)

    Besides - - - Mark LIVES in WI - - - he'd better at LEAST be kind to the Badgers.

    I wonder just how I feel about all of this - - - -

    Oh yah - - - Henne DID play for several possessions. He wasn't keeping WI from scoring either, nor was he helping MI to score.

    Mr. Tim, did you even WATCH the game? Or were you and I seeing TWO different things?!?

    :-)

    No need to kick you off - - - - you are entitled to your opinion, though the Badgers DID win this time, and nothing will change that moment in history now. (Listen to me - - - it isn't my blog, but knowing Mark I'm certain he won't kick you off)

    Also - - - after watching the Pack several times this season, I think you'll have another disappointment on Thanksgiving day.

    Time will tell - - - -

Apostles and Earrings

-

I wonder if this belonged to one of the apostles? Simon the Zealot strikes me as the kind of guy who would wear an earring. I recall the time, when I was graduating from seminary, I received an invitation to start a new congregation in a college town. In the letter, they outlined the vision, the demographics of the community, and their expectations for the pastor. The letter ended with a p.s. -- "and of course, your wife will not be permitted to wear earrings." They forgot say anything about ME wearing earrings. For a while, I was tempted to go ahead, take the position, and get my ear pierced.

How Would You Answer My Friend?

-
A pastor friend e-mailed me with this question yesterday: I am working with a well-intentioned man who is considering becoming a part of our congregation. After exploring Wesleyan Doctrine, he is hung up on one thing- that we allow women in ministry. He believes that 1Timothy 2:8-15 is a clear Biblical prohibition against females in ministry. I have always understood Paul's teaching on women in public worship environements in Corinthians and Timothy to be context driven and not a broad theological statement. This has been a learning experience for me because I learned that I was unprepared to defend our Wesleyan position, I had just accepted it. Any Biblical direction, orginal language clues, or historical perspective you could offer would be most welcomed. He is not bigoted about women, he feels they are equal in the eyes of the Lord but have been assigned different duties/roles in the kingdom. How would you respond to his question?

Pity Parties

I'm not really a party animal. In fact, usually, if I'm invited to a party of some sort or another, I try to find a good reason to graciously decline the invitation. It's not that I don't enjoy people, mind you. In general, they're fantastic. Like Will Rogers said, "I've never met a man I didn't like." I am thankful for all my good friends. Yep, I like people a lot -- but I dislike going to parties. (Although, if I get stuck and actually end up attending one, it usually turns out better than I imagined. In the car, on the way home, I've heard Cathy say more than once, "There now, that wasn't so bad, was it?" I reply with a mumble and grunt, because I know she's right. Still -- I'm not an eager party-goer, and seriously doubt if I will ever become one. Do you know what kind of party is the most common? Birthday? Graduation? Aniversary? You'll never guess! The party held most frequently is. . . The Pity Party! As a minis...
