Yeah, we Baptists have far

Yeah, we Baptists have far too few rituals. I would tend to think that's similar in the e-free church. I decided that it's far more important to attend church with my darling wife than it is to be pigheaded about the fact that I'd rather go to a church that exactly fits my beliefs.

It’s good to hear that

It’s good to hear that you’ve taken to the Lutheran service. I’m a bit worried about it myself. My fiancée really likes traditional Lutheran services, while I grew up in and enjoy a more contemporary service (I grew up as part of an evangelical free church). She would like to start attending a Lutheran service at some point in our married lives together, and I’ve so far resisted. I feel like the meaning would get lost in the ritual, if that makes sense. But I guess, like you’re saying, that ritual can be an excellent reminder.

You know, if I had picked up a basketball anytime in the past five years, I might take you on, but sadly, its been a while.

I will say I was a pretty fair player at one time...you know, before I got fat and slow.

Oh, it's on. I'm ready to lose. I was born ready.

I deserved that, yeah. You don't see me telling you about the 25 turnovers I had last Sunday, do you? I'm going to just keep that one to myself. My next blog will be about a good day.

Most people assume I’m an excellent basketball player just because I’m tall. Most people are very, very wrong. I can’t run, jump, or shoot the ball and I get nervous when it’s passed to me during a game. And my shooting mechanics are awful. Instead of arcing my shots, I just sort of throw them straight at the backboard.

That said, I love playing and I haven’t played a real game of basketball since college. I’d take a pickup game anytime you’re ready to lose, Mathias.

Does your shoulder hurt? You

Does your shoulder hurt?

You know, from patting yourself of the back?

To be fair, I wish I played more basketball. When I was younger, I was always playing some sport of some kind. Even if it meant I was outside shooting baskets by myself.

Now, sadly, I am too lethargic for my own good, increasingly out of shape, and feeling fatter by the day.

When is SonShine this year?

Mathias Baden — Tue, 22 May 2007 16:17:07 -0500

When is SonShine this year? Is it still over the Fourth of July? I've been to the festival several times, and I was hoping to go back one of these summers.

Unwittingly, you have also become something of an expert on Jordan, Mr. Otte. Has anyone else visited the schools, the police department and other Jordan places as much as you? Uh-uh.
