Without "The Voice" being aired, where is the voice of the people? 2007-10-02 09:21:00 Our town, Knoxville, Tennessee, has been rocked by the corrupt practices of our local government. Our local newspaper, the News-Sentinel, has at last lived up to its name by bringing a law suit against the Knox County commissioners, who made backroom deals with regard to replacement commissioners. According to the Sentinel’s law suit, these commissioners broke the sunshine law by ensuring that their own people
, and in some cases, their own family members, were awarded the vacant seats. We even ended up having a convicted drug dealer representing some people in our county. How corrupt is that?For some people, this was major news. They didn’t think that our local government was capable of this kind of wheeling and dealing. For me, it was old news. You may remember that I was a regular guest of the morning radio show “The Voice” hosted by Lloyd Daugherty and Kelvin Moxley. We had been talking about this level of corruption in local government eighteen months before the newspaper d
Erin Presbyterian - 130 years old and still growing 2007-09-30 08:25:00 130 years old – and still growing strongDespite being a part of the liberal PCUSA, Erin Presbyterian
Church in Knoxville is still growing. Why? It’s because we preach and practice the Gospel. The denomination may be trying to appease the politically correct and losing its identity through endorsing multi-cultural beliefs, but we hold dear the basics of Presbyterian and Reformed Christianity: that Christ is our Lord; we are all sinners; and Jesus is the only Savior of the world. Other churches may go down the slippery slope of placating current trends and adopting worldly ways, but Erin’s Scots-Irish tenacity enables it to stay the course that Christ requires.Interested? Come and join us this Sunday at 11.00am. We’re just off Kingston Pike at Lockett Road, diagonally across from the junction at Papermill Drive.

Term Limits for Tennessee Coaches? 2007-09-15 19:15:00 I love Tennessee
football. Every year, I bleed orange, but lately I've been weeping orange. Today's game was unbelievably bad. For a while I forgot it was only the third week in September - it was such a horror show, I thought we were celebrating Halloween.Something's got to be done. A decade ago, UT was a team to be feared. These days, we're the team that's going to get fried - SEC style.I don't know what the rest of the season will bring, but after watching this team for fourteen seasons, I'm noticing an ominous pattern - the teams with younger coaches are mightily outplaying UT.As someone once said, "Everything rises or falls on leadership." Maybe it's time to term-limit our coaches or cast aside our dreams. If we can't win the crucial games, then we can't win championships. And to allow Florida to almost score 60 points against our team - that's almost impeachable. Perhaps the News Sentinel is suing the wrong group... Read more:Limits

An Old Friend 2007-09-11 11:48:00 Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (NIV)I visited an old friend this morning. I shared some happy memories with him and even shed a few tears. I talked quietly with him and fondly remembered some of the things that we did in church. I thanked him for the years of friendship and support that had helped me become a better person and, hopefully, a better pastor.It was such a lovely morning. The sky was a wee bit grey and overcast, but there was a beautiful breeze wafting over the hill where I stood. A woodpecker was busily hammering away at an old tree, trying to get its breakfast. In the distance I could hear some traffic, but none that was too intrusive to the sacred quietness that my friend and I were experiencing.After sharing some happy thoughts and few silly jokes, it was time to say farewell. That’s when the memories flooded over me and took me back, six years ago to the very day. Whilst the entire world was going to hell and the Twin Towers cam
Next Year's Peace Prize goes to Mayor Ragsdale 2007-10-12 05:49:00 Doggone it! Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace
Prize. Maybe next year it could go to Knox County Mayor
Mike Ragsdale if he would only enforce “disturbing the peace” laws in Knox County. At 6.15AM one of our neighbors lets out his dog and it barks for fifteen bloody minutes! This contravenes the pet laws in our county which state that before 8AM and after 11PM, no pets should disturb the peace!So as well as fixing up the County Commission, Mr. Ragsdale, tear down the walls of bureaucracy and start enforcing this law! Maybe if we all slept better and longer things wouldn’t be so bad around here…
