Sorry, brothers, for my absence/silence of the last few days. We've been getting ready for our annual regional Men's Conference called the "Mid-South Men's Rally" tonight, and I had the Alliance Board meeting in Philadelphia on Monday and Tuesday. Our friend Al Mohler was slated to come here to preach the Men's Rally, but as you know now his father-in-law, with whom he was very close, had a massive heart attack and was gathered to his people around 7 last evening. I've spoken with Al, and we'll be praying as he preaches that funeral and for sweet Mary, his wife, as she greives the loss of her father.

Randy Stinson, professor at SBTS and Executive Director of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, will be filling in for Al tonight. Pray for him. More in a little bit.

By the way, I've loved reading your posts. Excellent!
