ACU — and My Bosses . . . Baseball Bet
You know the phrase “you’re not the boss of me”? That doesn’t apply to me at ACU.
Here are my bosses:
Rodney Ashlock (associate chairman of undergrad Bible)
Glenn Pemberton (chairman of undergrad Bible)
Ken Cukrowski (associate dean of College of Biblical Studies)
Jack Reese (dean of College of Biblical Studies)
Dwayne Van Rheenan (Provost)
Royce Money (President)
I’m sure I’ve missed some others.
Having said that, I love teaching there. I love the direction of the university. I love the way there is an openness to a larger Christian world while still valuing the heritage of Churches of Christ. I love the variety of the student body. I love the sense that we are both participating in and calling people to the mission of Jesus.

In front of a bunch of my buddies, I lost a bet to my friend Chris Flanders. The loser had to make a public confession.
SO . . . let me say this. Flanders was right; I was wrong. Our question was, Who had the most hits in the major leagues in the 1990s. I felt sure I knew. I was wrong. Do you know? Leave your guess here. Don’t google first. Don’t say something like “I know this because I just saw it the other day.” And don’t come back commenting on it. Let’s just see who knows.
What major league player had the most hits in the ’90s?
Guess I should have read the comments before I posted, too. But at least Geoff’s guess was right!
tony Gwynn. Just a guess not sure
Mike,
When I interned for Lynn years ago, he taught Theology of Ministry, a graduate class for ACU (which I took) at Preston Road. I think out of all the things he was doing at the time, this energized him more than anything. He was a great university professor as I am sure you are.

No idea. ACU is a wonderful University! I have read the first four books in ACU’s Heart of The Restoration serese (how do you spell that?) and love them! Also read Jack Resses’s (how do you spell his name?) The Body Broken. Great books! Great people there and I think the world of the people there! Be blessed!

Do you see more of the Christians Universities going down the direction of ACU, except Harding? If so, why is it so hard for Harding to change? I see some really good changes taking place at Lubbock Christian University is going.
I believe change with any Univsersity take time and right leadership. Dr. Steve Joiner is doing a fantastic job the leadership the he is taking the department.
Mike, how did you cleverly tie in the Cubbies Mark Grace with your previous bit on Galatians? Of course you remember when Vance Law (son of Vernon Law) played third for the Cubbies and Mark Grace was at first. Still don’t get it? Heh, heh. Every time a batter grounded out to third it went from Law to Grace!
Mark Grace w/ 1,754 hits. Tony Gwynn had 1,713.
