A Hebrew of the Hebrews, a pharisee of the pharisees, sat at the feet
of Gameliel...  Paul spent his entire scholastic life in Old Testament 
Bible school.  Remember, there was no New Testament as of yet, and
when there was, Paul *WROTE* most of it!

I remember the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington that swayed so much
when the wind blew that it ultimately fell down killing people in the
process.  

"Blown about by every wind of doctrine..."  Thank God for preachers
who *DON'T* sway!

I, Bro. Brown, drive neither Cadillac nor Lincoln, but rather
Mercedes, and was only called to preach after graduate school in
mathematics.  I was afraid of preaching because I knew most preachers
did not make much money, but God convinced me he wanted me to preach
anyway, so I said OK, Lord.

Bro. Tyler, what made you sour this morning?  Did you leave the milk
out all night last night and then pour it on your cereal anyway this
morning?  This kind of post is not like you at all.  I hope you didn't 
lambast your Sunday school class this morning.
