I noticed that Oklahoma was in the low 90s, too. Normally, it's triple digits. While I support smart conservation, reducing waste, taking care of creation, etc; I think we need to stop taking ourselves so seriously when it comes to our power to alter the climate. Don't forget in the 1970s, they were talking about global cooling and http://bobbygriffith.com/2008/07/global-warming-got-to-us-today.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bobby's blog)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762832.post-4114958325757128868Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:53:00 +00002008-07-03T14:55:55.232-05:00I think I'd like to spend the 4th of July at a picnic with Andy Griffith. It'd be fun to sit at a picnic table, talk with him, listen to some homespun country wisdom, and have him belt out some old gospel songs. Maybe we could talk about the myth of Mayberry or Matlock's court record. It's be great as long as there was some watermelon and homemade ice cream.

Obviously, I would like to serve in the pastoral ministry at some point and last week, I am happy to say, that some point is coming soon. I got a promotion of sorts, from youth director to assistant pastor of youth. It is still part-time, which is perfect for our situation, but the key is that http://bobbygriffith.com/2008/06/big-change.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bobby's blog)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762832.post-2902138334248171201Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:25:00 +00002008-06-18T09:25:44.756-05:00UT Fan Sues OU Fan & Restaurant A football fan who says he was attacked in an Oklahoma City bar after being heckled for wearing a Texas Longhorns shirt is suing the bar and an Oklahoma Sooners fan for more than $100,000.Brian Thomas alleges in a suit filed Thursday that he was left with "serious, painful and potentially permanent" injuries after Allen Michael Beckett grabbed his groin and http://bobbygriffith.com/2008/06/ou-texas-can-be-dangerous-and-expensive.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bobby's blog)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762832.post-8294836453365424144Wed, 11 Jun 2008 22:01:00 +00002008-06-11T17:03:12.587-05:00I'll actually attend the PCA General Assembly.

Having no real knowledge about piracy or pirates in general, this book somehow piqued my interest at the bookstore. I did not know what to expect, but in short, it was delightful reading. It is a scholarly account of Pirates and piracy, mostly centering on English-based pirates. There were a few things which struck me as I read the account.
