Tomorrow, the family and I are heading to Oklahoma City to see the in-laws. I am dropping off the family as they are staying there for a week while I head to Memphis to attend class at Harding Graduate School of Religion. After this class is finished, I will have hit the half way point in the Doctorate of Ministry degree program. If the Lord wills, I should be completed by 2012. Two more hard years, but definitely worth it. The class I am taking is Contemporary Preaching under Dr. Bland. Dr. Bland would never suggest it, but he is one of the most respected scholars on preaching in Western Christianity. Learning from him is learning from one of the best. He has some exciting stuff for us to engage in, truly some unique treats. As always, I am excited for another trip to Memphis, I am going to see my friend Joe again, I am heading to Waynesboro to preach again, this will be wonderful to see all of my friends in this small beautiful town. And of course, barbecue! Pray for my safely as we are traveling.

Eat some ribs at Rendezvous for me. Love the new look of the site.

IMHO, the best rib house in Memphis is B.B. King’s Club on Beale St. And if you time just right, you can get in there before being required to pay a cover charge while still being able to hear some good blues jams and then get out of their before the drunks get too obnoxious.
