I'll be there. Look forward to finally meeting you... if you can dig yourself out of the snow by that time. If you ARE successful, you'll be able to identify me as the guy wearing the Flames jersey. I don't suppose you'll be wearing your 'Leafs jersey as they typically aren't playing by mid-April
Ah yes, the fruit of the Spirit in evidence. I confess, I was hoping to bait you into a reply, but you're a better man than I. Furthermore, after the last few days of hockey, things are looking a lot better for you and a lot worse for me. Note to self: Bridle tongue (er, keyboard)!
i found a comment of yours at the challies.com website.
david and tim repeatedly delete my comments there, in my opinion quite unfairly. while i may come across a little rough-edged at times, i truly believe it's an unwillingness on their part to enter into legitimate, serious discussion that prompts their actions. i have been called a "troll" several times, but anyone reading the entire range of comments i've written can easily see the baseless name-calling in that.
i'm posting this to ask you to look at a recent interchange i had at a post there. i've captured the interchange on my blog; click on the link "challies angels" under the heading And Now The News on the right sidebar. i would appreciate any reaction you have after reading it - even if it is of a critical nature.
and, if you're interested, i also have a lengthy (and still-in-progess) review of Tim Keller's recent book, The Reason for God. you can access it, too, in the And Now The News section. and, for what it's worth, i even got an email from Tim that said some people had directed him to the review, and that he appreciated my interaction with his book. needless to say, that put some welcome wind in my sails after all the head-butting i've been doing around the web...

ReplyDeleteDan -
ReplyDeleteIt will be a highlight to meet you in person, brother!
See you there, d.v.!!
P.S. To Dan
ReplyDeleteDid you notice I said nothing about my Leafs?
That took a lot of self-control... but that is just the kind of guy I am!
;-)
