Preparing for a day of ministry. Teach SS at San Jac, preaching at Valle Vista Baptist this AM choir and preaching at San Jac in the PM. # Up way too early yesterday-stayed up way too late last night-making for a morning that feels like moving in molassas. I hate molassas. # off to choir rehearsal. # Home from a long day-full of ministry. Now at home for another phase of ministry-helping a crying daughter go to bed. # Rise and shine-lot’s to do today in terms of study. Looking forward to it. # RT @tomascol: RT @JimBelcher: TIm Keller’s advice to young pastors seeking experience. His answer may surprise you http://bit.ly/89ioQ7 # If you’re really bored, watch The Capranica study today live: http://www.thecapranica.com/index.php/live/ # I’m not a good soprano # Back to the study after a lunch break. Need a nap? Watch it live: http://bit.ly/5Packr # Off to meet with a pastoral assistant and then to teach through Titus. # Home to a sick little girl and a tired mommy and two hungry guys. Hmm. # Kicking off another day: final prep for a lecture on worship at CBU. # Very little traffic on the way to CBU today-unbelievable. About to go talk about corporate worship. Looking forward to it. # Hanging out with David: http://yfrog.com/3gb5uzj # Had a fun time at the Christmas Tree farm with the family and our Sunday School class. I LOVE winter in SoCal. # Powered by Twitter...

The woman, previously named Dorothy Lola Killingworth, was sent to Judge Clyde Jones’s courtroom for a criminal case Monday. Court officials told The Birmingham News Tuesday that the 59-year-old was excused because she was disruptive and kept asking questions instead of answering them. Efforts to reach Christ for comment were unsuccessful. Court administrator Sandra Turner said people there were shocked when the woman insisted her name was Jesus Christ and some potential jurors laughed out loud when her name was called.
