Billy Graham turned 90 last Friday (11/7). Spiritual guide to many presidents, he said recently that he would like to meet and pray with Barack Obama. I hope he gets that chance.
I have been listening lately to old skool DC Talk and came across this video with a Graham appearance in the middle.
Sweet.
Just for fun…I think I have found another band I like. Coldplay meets Collective Soul.
Haunting melodies, crisp vocals and nice layers in the music make this a song I like hearing over and over again. The lyrics reminisce a feeling of being stuck and getting ready to make a change.
Following up on some commentary taking place on another post, I wrote an op-ed which was posted this morning on Crosswalk.com.
Anytime I get to refer to John Cougar Mellencamp’s Small Town in an op-ed, it is a good time.
Been too long between music vids. Here is one that was popular a few years ago but remains one of my top ten Switchfoot songs.

I was initially scheduled to be on the Mike and Juliet Morning Show thursday morning but was replaced by ex-gay therapist Jayson Graves.

Quite awhile back, I was interviewing a young man who was in distress over his homosexual attractions. In the interview, as is customary, I did a full assessment of sexuality and in so doing asked if he had any opposite sex attractions. He thought for a bit and said, he generally didn’t but there was one woman on TV he was attracted to “in that way.” When I asked who it was, he said, Juliet Huddy. I wonder if she would have blushed?
