My wife's favorite blog is Arkansas Razorbaptist which seems to be a blog run by a team. I want to thank them for the photo to the left. It seems to be a cartoon portrayal by The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette of what a Southern Baptist pastor who blogs might look like! Mr. Arkansas Razorbaptist asks who this pastor might be?
I know it is not me! The other day my wife took a photo of me slaving over the computer answering the questions posted on my blog site since December. I think this picture was taken on a Saturday. I am usually quite casual and stationed in the back of our media room at the house! Anyway, for those of you who ask a question, this might give you a mental image of the way I respond. I personally believe if people can maintain a good spirit, honestly respect the opinion of others, and refuse to try to derail thoughtful posts, that blogging can be wonderful for the SBC.
The Lord's blessings to you and yours today!
In His Grace,
Wade

Is it OK for pastors to wear jeans? :)
Sigh...every hair in place.
Kevin,
Only if they're ironed. And you wear them with dark socks and loafers - and a golf shirt with the logo of your church on the place where the little horsey or whatever usually sits!

Great sermon this morning. Amen!
Will be thinking of you and Rochelle the next fews days.
Your friend, chamm
Wade - you missed it! Your jeans aren't ironed and it looks like a normal shirt - not very pastoral! We're just funnin' with you! Thanks for showing you're a normal guy. Sometimes we need to get to know each other a bit on these blogs instead of having everything be SO heavy. We'd probably understand each other better.
I read about your stand at the mission board in the Texas Baptist Standard. Also I read about you in Jim Jones' column in the F.W. Star Telegram (5-20). I applaud your stand and conviction, and as usual, 'let's get rid of him, he doesn't agree with us' attitude prevails. I like your beliefs, just keep hammering.
I have a question, the new heaven according to Revelation, is it to be built or was it created before the foundation of the world, or when the world was created?
The beautiful thing about the 'net is that anyone can express their convictions. You don't have to be a celebrity (in any sense of the word).
I think we as a convention are under-utilizing the internet.
Actually, I always thought you'd be like the top image. Or at least have a windswept look from the plains of Enid!
better to wear jeans than be caught nekid!
As a newly ordained pastor, and fellow blogger myself (jeffreydbrock.blogspot.com), I've always thought of you as a mentor. I've taken advice from you (on doctrine and becoming a pastor), I've stolen greetings from you to post on our church's marquee, but I must say that I've fallen short because I do not have a "media room". However, I do have a spare room in which our computer sits, and I do have another room with an extra tv. Does this count?
Always,
A Newly Ordained Baptist Preacher
Wade,
Marty sighed.... and noticed every hair in place?
I groaned and observed;
HE HAS BLACK HAIR! ...... and remembered; I USED TO HAVE BLACK HAIR...... but then I struggled with a senior moment.... but returned to reality and observed;
I USED TO HAVE HAIR!:(
....and it was a wonderful day! It was another that HE made...........
nice socks.
you might want to work on the ergonomics of your blogging situation. with all of the hours that you spend blogging it can be good on your back :)

savedandsure,
Be careful using the phrase "LONGHORNS" in a sentence to an Okie. That will get you hurt in Sooner territory. : )
Dark socks and loafers with jeans? Well, I guess you no longer qualify to be a YOUNGER leader!
