Congrats to your son & all the family, but I have to say that little Miss Reese steals every picture, & I expect, did the same during the ceremony.

Couldn’t help think about you and Diane this morning. And the Griggs, and the Browns, and the Smalls… and too many other families.

My life and my kid’s lives are richer from the lessons I learned from your daughter and you. I’ll never doubt the worth of a sloppy kiss, a crocked grin or a clumsy hug or take those for granted! Love you guys!

Congrats to Matt, his success, his graduation and his family. I was a first year coach when Matt was our Middle Linebacker at A.H.S. Very happy to see him become so accomplished. I know you are a proud father.

Between having Laura graduate from High School tomorrow, Emily going off to Junior High, preaching out of Ecclesiastes, and sitting here commenting on this post from the sound both in our church while watching the Wee School graduation, I am an emotional wreck. When I heard the news last night, Grant Boone was in town and Grant, Kim and I just sat there shaking our heads - our hearts stinging in pain and our lips silent in disbelief.

I’ve never walked that road but I’m confident that God will use it for that family as a forging process and that the heat of the hell they experience will make them stronger than ever and long for heaven more than ever.

Kyle,

Excellent response, and by far the most encouraging comment I’ve read in this thread.

Calling EVERYONE who disagrees with MR. JAMES approach to his heritage- a child or adolescent. That isn’t character assassination? Telling those who don’t agree with you and James they aren’t “being adult” that’s OK?

Well, good to know there are some kind of standards.

Kathy - I want to agree. I think qb is a good conversation partner. Sometimes he agrees with what I write; sometimes he doesn’t. But he “always says things in such a fine manner.”

qb - are we twins separated at birth? We always seem to end up on the same page. Today this seems especially true in your latest post regarding Elizabeth’s choice of “exemplars” - a bit of Berean model might help many when trying to swallow AG the Third’s suppositions stated as absolute fact. And, dear ‘twin’ - you always say things in such a fine manner. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Richard. I hadn’t heard that. I just left a note there.

Mike,

Many bloggers from Churches of Christ are familiar with John Dobbs. John is a blog king among us, in my opinion. He has also been the preacher for the Central Church in Pascagoula, MS and has worked mightily in the service of God for relief in that area ever since Katrina. He recently accepted the pulpit position witht he Forsythe Avenue Church in Monroe, LA. John is married to Margaret.

Their 18 year old son, John Robert Dobbs, was killed on I-10 Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. John posted about their sons death on his blog Wednesday evening (wwww.johndobbs.wordpress.com). John Robert was set to graduate from Pascagoula High School tomorrow.

His family, and those of us who are his friends, request your prayers and the prayers of your readers.

I believe that too, Elizabeth. But appealing to Albert Gore III as a paradigm for your environmental stewardship…well, let’s just say it’s giggleworthy.

In a recent comparison, for example, of the homes of Gore and Bush - abundantly verified against “urban legend” claims, as documented by Snopes.com - the contrast in green-ness was staggering, according to current measures of that virtue.

But the winner was not Gore, not by a long shot. Now THAT is what I call a REALLY inconvenient truth. Why does anyone take Gore seriously on these matters?

So go, and be blessedly green. But choose your exemplars more carefully!

helpful qb

It’s refreshing to see the tide changing (again). Troy, I think you are right.

I want everyone to know that Elizibeth did not receive any compensation from me for precisely and perfectly making my point.

Now, if we could simply direct some of that passion back to saving souls, instead of saving trees, we’d be in good shape.
