Preachin's Blog A little blog from an upstart theologian that will do its best to exemplify Christ while sharing a thing or two along the way. |
Monday, February 28, 2005 Gene Scott...dead...no more cigarsWell its official, Dr. Gene Scott has passed away. While he was a straight up liberal and had nothing to give the church in the way of goodly theology, he sure was funny to watch. I remember getting up early on Sundays while at seminary to watch his crazy broadcasts. Not for theological info mind you, but just because I needed a good laugh. If anything Dr. Gene Scott was a real man and didn't lie about anything. Lots of TV preachers (not all because there are some good men of God out there) hide their earnings and try to play dumb about what happens to their mega-money...not Dr. Scott, he told he was a greedy son of a gun and didn't care what people thought. Well, good day to him...you can still watch him over his web-broadcasts. Part of me wonders how long his broadcasts will make money for his estate posted by Preachin Jesus | 12:44 PM | Wednesday, February 09, 2005 On my travels and suchOkay, so we're finally settled in our new home of Atlanta, Georgia. We've been running around for the last month getting things unpacked, settled, cleaned, bought, and so forth. Its been a really fun and we're both enjoying the journey. Whew! Its been super-duper crazy. On top of that my ministry position is keeping me busy all the time. So its been fun to say the least. We've had some minor headaches (thank you people at U-Haul!) here and there along the way, but nothing too serious and we're both very happy being settled in. On some other notes we're eagerly anticipating our wedding pictures being delivered and can't wait to see them and then post them on a photoblog. Also I'm in the process of developing a blogsite for our happy new family to serve as a sort of newsletter for the world...I guess...but primarily for our friends and family. I've got my seminary degree sitting on my bookcase, awaiting its installation into an appropriate frame. I am really happy to have graduated and be out doing work to further the Kingdom of God. It is difficult to keep up with some of the finer points of my seminary education (i.e. Hebrew and Greek) but I am working hard at keeping these items up. The ministry program I am in is absolutely amazing! I really believe that through this course I am going to so prepared for a lifetime of service--while still serving!--that I just don't feel worthy. It is certainly refreshing to hear leaders in my chosen denomination say that the moment you feel adequate for ministry you don't belong in it. That we all should feel a tremendous sense of inadequacy is compelling. We must thus rely on Christ to take us as the feeble clay we are and mold us for His use. Anyhoo, I have some deeper theo-bloggy coming and will be getting some items up after these next several days! posted by Preachin Jesus | 11:25 AM | Tuesday, February 01, 2005 I'm baaaack!Great news from bloggy land...well maybe if you've waiting for me to drop back in...I'm back! Things are going super and my new wife and I are settling in rather well to the wonderment that is married life. God's blessings are pouring over us and we are experiencing such new and exciting things that we have to check to see if we are dreaming every now and then. I'll update later on with something more substantive and we'll have some pics of our happy day soon enough! Thanks for dropping in! posted by Preachin Jesus | 1:44 PM | |
