Kyrie Irving to DUKE!!!
The #5 player in the class of 2010 committed to Duke tonight. Let’s hope that Harrison Barnes follows. Looking forward to seeing him in Cameron!
The importance of what we do during worship according to Stanley Hauerwas
“One reason why we Christians argue so much about which hymn to sing, which liturgy to follow, which way to worship is that the commandments teach us to believe that bad liturgy eventually leads to bad ethics. You begin by singing some sappy, sentimental hymn, then you pray some pointless prayer, and the next thing you know you have murdered your best friend.”

We’re moving!
On June 23rd, Me, Jade, and the cats will be moving to our new home. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m about to begin seminary at Duke. While I’m going to Duke I’ll be serving a church in Henderson. The church is Rehoboth UMC (above). Duke has a program where certain students serve as pastors of small rural churches while attending school.
We have already visited the congregation and are really looking forward to serving there. I’ve had several conversations with their current pastor, Tony, via email. He has been very helpful in giving me valuable information about the church.
Obviously, we are sad about leaving the current church where I’m serving at in Cordele. We’ve had some great experiences here and will definitely miss the people.
Greg Paulus to Syracuse
Former Duke Blue Devils point guard Greg Paulus will be playing football at Syracuse this season. Out of high school, Greg chose to play basketball at Duke over football at schools like Notre Dame. Since he recently graduated from Duke, he has a year of eligibility to play football. I’m looking forward to cheering him on this season and wish him the best.
