I consider myself a very forgiving person. No matter what others say, I usually give the benefit of doubt to someone. So, when Frank Beamer said he was going with Sean Glennon, I figured there was a good reason. But my wife ran to the bathroom and threw up. Not really, but it was close. I am afraid to watch the rest of the season if we do not start Tyrod Taylor from now on.

We win today with Tyrod at the helm. WE know he can throw at least as well as Glennon but he can run much better. Well actually Glennon can’t run, so I would be better in that category. With Taylor in, we score on that first series where Glennon was picked and we probably kick a FG the next time and we are up 10-0 and the game looks completely different.

Every time Glennon drops back I get scared. I never believe anything good will happen when he drops back, and usually I am right. He did complete one nice pass. ONE! Put in Taylor, we all know he can complete a few passes and opposing D’s have to keep a few guys back waqtching in case he runs. Hands down, we are better with Taylor.

Today we got beat from every angle against ECU. If we don’t change things up, it is going to be a long long season. I believe in you Beamer, but I don’t believe in Glennon. At least if we lose with Taylor the game will be watchable!

Hokies Unite!!!

Its that time of year again, and by that time I mean Football time. I painfully endured the South Carolina vs NC State game last night merely because it was football. And after watching the first half, the term football would have been debatable. It was ugly, each and every botched play, but it was better than the Law and Order that was being shown on about 15 different channels. Tomorrow, at 12 on ESPN the Hokies make their first appearance. I am both very excited and scared at the same time. I really wish we were playing at home, but I trust in Beamer Ball. Sean Glennon is another thing though, and he will be in my prayers tonight. For now, sit back and enjoy the best entrance in all the land!

I am kinda almost famous now

I am posting this because I think it is funny, so I want to say that up front. About three months ago I was interviewed by a lady here within LifeWay and I figured it was for marketing or something. Now, I find out the interview was published in the Baptist Press. I have never bee to their site before, honestly I did not know it existed. But, right there under the picture of Johnny Hunt, is my interview. You can click here to read the article. The only improvement would have been my picture under his on the main page. Now that would have been funny.

Back where I come from

I caught this video from the Roanoke Paper. Roanoke is about 45 minutes from my home in Virginia and about 45 minutes from my old stompin’ grounds in Blacksburg. There is simply too much in this video to make comments on so I will let you. Everything from the clothes he wears, the song he is singing, the cigarette stuck to the guitar, to his actual occupation is simply too funny. THis is one of those stories so good you couldn’t make it up. Watch and let me know what you think.

DirecTV is killing me!!!

I am not sure if you have noticed lately, but there is this small sporting event going on right now called the Olympics. It is sort of a big thing. Normally I am not one to really complain, but DirecTV is killing me. My HD has been out for almost a month. Honestly it is more annoying than anything, but the fact that I am paying for a service I am not receiving really bothers me. Not to mention the fact that all my shows that were preset to record were obviously lost because they were set to record in HD. Then comes the problem that my daughter is used to having Dora and Diego on demand and now all the recorded episodes do not work. In the grand scheme of life, this is merely a gnat. But when a gnat is buzzing around your face long enough you want it squashed. Maybe, just maybe the “friendly” people at DirecTV will get this HD thing figured out and I will not be charged for it. Doubtful that will happen but what would happen if I just refused payment. I could use their excuse, “We have our engineers working on it,” and say, “Yes I have received your bill and I realize there is a problem but I will have my wife look into it. You may or may not get your money.” I doubt that would go over too well. Maybe the answer is simple and I just need to cancel my service and save that money each month. I could probably put it to better use. especially now since I am not getting what I am paying for anyway.

From Hamas to Christ, an amazing story

This video and story is about a young adult that grew up in a family of a very high ranking Hamas leader. His story of redemption from that darkness is amazing. Watch and then read the interview. There is little doubt he has met The God of this world and his life has been turned upside down.

Too good to resist!

I have been away for a while and have plenty to blog about as lots has taken place since my last post. I will have to catch up later this week because we go to our first doctor’s appointment today for Baby Jordan #2. Crazy times in our home! But before we head out, I saw this and could not resist posting it. This is funny on so many levels but I will simply be quiet now and let the funnies begin.

Update: I tried embedding the video but it did not work so click here so see it!
