The Sin of Denim?

George Will in this week's column goes off on denim (really he's going off on American culture and picks on denim as its symbol). There was this great line in the middle of the article...

"Denim is the clerical vestment for the priesthood of all believers in democracy's catechism of leveling"

Nice.

Twin Lakes Fellowship 2009

I've reduced my blogging of late. It got to be too much. I guess it felt too self-indulgent. At any rate, I've closed the other blog and haven't been blogging here much. I'm at a pastors "fraternal" (it's like a conference, only less focus on speakers and more on networking for support of all kinds). It's put on by Ligon Duncan and First Pres Jackson. There are about 250 of us here at FPJ's camp property (which is gorgeous, btw). I may do a bit of blogging during the rest of the week, but let's stop short of calling it "live blogging". I have found that the "official" live bloggers are doing admirably. You can go here to keep up. I mention this only because Douglas Kelly preached a sermon last night that was simply amazing. I'd encourage everyone to take the time to listen to it. It's from Deuteronomy 23 and the title was "God Turns Curses Into Blessings". If you've never heard Kelly before, you're in for a treat (in more ways than one!). Scroll down a few posts on the blog to find the audio.

USA 3 - 0 Trinidad and Tobago!

Ian and I went to a World Cup qualifier with friends here in Nashville this evening. The US played Trinidad and Tobago and won a smashing 3-0 victory. We were seated just behind and above the goal for the last two goals. To top it off, all three were scored by Jozy Altidore (a hat-trick!) and assisted by Brandon Donovan. The Boys had great possession tonight and looked solid. Between the weather and the matchplay, we couldn't have asked for a better night.
