After a meeting today, good friend/Wesley director Steve Hambrick and I stepped into Wackadoo’s to visit and enjoy some of their wonderful sweet tea (we’re both from Georgia; it’s what we do).
A couple of things from our conversation:
He mentioned a book that I haven’t read but can’t wait to:
Red Moon Rising: How 24/7 Prayer is […]

I’ve never had a lot of heroes, but John Wooden is one of my heroes. If you don’t know who John Wooden is, then you don’t know very much about college basketball (not that there’s anything wrong with that). He was a little before my time, but I read his book as a kid and […]

…in “Best Quote at the Crawford Home during the 2006 Olympics”:
Andrew, talking about a male figure skater: “Oh, good grief, that dude looks like he’s wearing a one-sie.”
Others are in consideration, but so far the judges like that one. Also in medal contention:

Bode Miller’s a terrible role model and the most over-hyped athlete since Ryan Leaf. See Bode’s 60 minutes interview (”I skiied in a competition while I was drunk”) and his Newsweek cover story, ‘Miller Time’ for more on his lousy attitude and poor work ethic if you haven’t followed this story (ie. you’ve been living […]

I’m going to interrupt my Olympic blogging to say that nobody writes about suffering better than John Piper, imo. Don’t Waste Your Cancer is an article posted yesterday as he went into surgery for prostate cancer.
Here are his ten statements (but read the whole thing at the link; it’s incredible):
1. You will waste your cancer […]

Jenn W has been so good to us in coming the last couple of weeks and staying with the kids. Julie and I try not to run over her as we race out the door when she gets here. J/k, j/k. But seriously…it’s been such a blessing to be able to go out and spend […]

  
Can I just say that figure skating is a joke? For one, only about 4 people in the world have a clue as to how they keep score. It’s like watching a football game and you have no idea how, or if, your team is scoring any points. And then after it’s over the ref […]

   
Amy and Andrew love to watch the Olympics. I think it’s just an excuse to stay up late. But we have fun watching it as a family…our newest entry into this family tradition is Evan. He doesn’t make it too late into the evening, but his dance routine is high-larious. Even the Russian judge would […]
