Our @CanonFodderNOLA Brass Band had such a blast today playing for our new friend Scott’s 40th birthday party. What a great group of family and friends to parade with. Mostly I’m thankful live music is back. – at Westwego, LA
Agreed.
A pet peeve re: the SBC annual meeting is when the question is called before a motion has had the chance to be debated adequately. It’s a shrewd tactic but it’s poor form & doesn’t serve the messengers well. You don’t need to strong-arm a strong motion. #sbc26
SBC26 INFO!!
The vote on the suspension of the rules from the Mohler amendment will happen at 5:15 today.
If the suspension fails, then the motion will be referred to the executive committee. If the suspension passes, the motion will be scheduled for 8:45 tomorrow morning.
As @QuintAdkins regularly says… “She’s so good!”
Want to hear some great singer/songwriter music with rich lyrics this morning? Say out loud, “ALEXA, play music from @CanonAdkins!” and then settle in.
I have a 6-hour layover at DFW this Thursday. God must be playing some kind of joke on me. #IYKYK Also, off in the distance, I think I hear @bartbarber laughing at me.
Question for drivers of Jeep Wranglers. Those who drive 07 or newer Wranglers, do you not know about the Jeep Wave? I’m confused as to how there’s been this weird adoption of cramming your dash full of rubber duckies, while at the same time, an abandoning the historic Jeep Wave.
For those of you around my age, here’s a reminder for you. We got to be teenagers in the 80s! Have you stopped and thanked God for that recently? ;)
Many years ago I commented to my father that New Orleans is the only city I know where capes and tutus are every day apparel. But then there’s this. We also have this… and things akin to this.
My Christmas music hot take. All Christmas songs sung by Nat Cole, are immediately and irrefutably better versions than all other versions of those songs.
For your enjoyment or annoyance here is a friendly Christmas morning reminder to all my friends … Dec 25 isn't Jesus' birthday, "X" is a Greek symbol for Christ, it wasn’t a silent night, no wisemen were at the manger scene & the real Santa slaps heretics. #MerryXmas
Michelle and I slipped away to Baton Rouge to see my favorite band play a Christmas show. Tower of Power’s Holiday and Hits should blow the roof completely off this place by the end of the night. Merry Christmas to all of you who still be Diggin’ on James Brown.
This guy is not only THE most loved & appreciated man in the Southern Baptist Convention, he’s a long-time family friend & we love him deeply. He even flew to my hometown to be with us during the week of dad’s funeral. We love Don & enjoy visiting with him when he’s in NOLA.
We are so proud of our brilliant daughter-in-law. Her scholarship is matched by her passion for the Gospel. She is a gift to us and will be a gift to those she will influence in the future.
You can't be thankful "for" & not be thankful "to." Ultimately there is one to whom all thanks is due. Col 1:16-17 #annualthanksgivingtweet
On tap for tomorrow… checking “giant parade balloons” off my bucket list, a visit to Radio City to see Clara and the Rockettes, and an evening at Bryant Park. Gonna be a great day with no rain and no turkey (except the one above the front door of Macy’s).
Hey friends… if you are in Boston for the ETS annual meeting, go pack the room and listen to my daughter-in-law, Meagan extrapolate some Bavinck. As Quint says… “She’s so good!” and we’re so proud!
I’m at the gym watching the Baptists play the Catholics tonight. The irony is not lost on me. The conundrum I’m experiencing this evening? I’m rooting for the Catholics. 😉 #hereistand #geauxSam #16
