Avocado and Bacon: In Search of the Perfect Sandwich
2008 April 16
ACU just changed its alcohol policy. It was the right move. The focus now will be on underage drinking and drunkenness.

Just two weeks until the Pepperdine lectureship. I’ve gone every year since 1986. Good classes, good friends, and staggering beauty. Plus a daily run to John’s Garden for an avocado sandwich.

My two favorite foods: avocado and bacon. (I’m including guacamole, of course, under the broad category of “avocado.”) Followed closely by fresh seafood (grouper, mahi-mahi, amberjack, snapper, etc.), a good steak, and blueberry pie.

CS,
Everybody wants to change things in the church
Are you talking about your church? No one over 21 drinks in your church? Do you spy on them to make sure they don’t break the rules?
CS,
Most people will not be persuaded when you use language like, “It’s just plain stupid!!!!!!!!!!” and “Everybody wants to change things in the church because they are just simply selfish and want things to suit there own point of view.”
You have just called the people on the other side of this issue stupid and selfish. Do you expect others to care what you have to say on a matter when you have belittled them?
And please (please!!!!!!!!!!) don’t start talking about itching ears.
Okay?
Thanks.
No one has really brought up the question of “exactly why is the drinking limited to off campus?”
If it’s OK to do (as told by the administration, Board, etc.), then why only off campus?
You’re telling me that a 21-year-old ADULT has the right to stand across a line that says he’s “off campus” but he does NOT have the right to have a drink in the student center after a tough day of classes?
And, it’s NOT OK for a professor to kick back at his desk in his office after a long day and enjoy a glass of wine?
But … he can step over that off-campus line and do it and it’s OK?
I’ve never even visited the campus there, so I guess I don’t know. What’s so special about the campus?
So, ACU, make up your mind.
OK Alex et. al,
I stand corrected. It is a super idea to make ACU just like the other schools in regards to its policy on drinking. Guys, my point is that the policy, the alcohol or any other thing that the school decides is worrysome TO ME. Yes, I believe college age young adults are not wired to make good decisions about alcohol. Perhaps a stereo-type. I assure you I am not a right-winger that thinks this will bring hell fire and damnation on anyone. TO ME it is sad that it had to happen at all. I pray those of you students that are praising this move will make good decisions. The next decisions to come once you are out of ACU will then be: Do I go to the cocktail party at my meetings? Do I go out with the guys to the bars at my meeting? Your boss asks you to come polish off a bottle of scotch with him to end the evening…All these things will happen to most of you (us). I pray you will make good decisions that will bring more people to Christ.
By the way, you CAN have some red wines with fish.
Good point Rick.
