Green pastures by way of death valley

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

A post from History in the Making: It’s tempting as a pastor to lead people on a comfortable path. Ahh, the love and appreciation you get. No one leaves the church. But it’s ultimately not the route God wants us to take. God doesn’t just lead us to green pastures. He leads us to green […]

Basketball upset over #1 UNC

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

We just blew #1 ranked UNC out this afternoon in basketball.  94-88.  I was there.  Very exciting game–we were up nearly the entire game, and at one point had a 22 point lead.  We were up by 20 with five minutes left.  Of course, we rushed the court.  We’re undefeated against teams from North Carolina: […]

Chick-Fil-A Bowl, Atlanta, and Passion 07

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

The past few days I’ve been in Atlanta.  I drove in on Saturday with Chris for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, formerly the Peach Bowl.  Unfortunately, our Hokies continued their bowl game tradition of choking.  Still, the game was exciting and well worth attending. After the game, we headed to Sno’s aunt’s compound for the night.  It’s […]
