Earth?
Drat. That planet's got a restraining order on me.
You're planning a Golf outing and you need a fourth?
Count this snow bird in!
(Some) details to follow... Thursday.
Now that's just cruel. :<
Yesterday, he teases in twitter. Today, he announces...that there will be an announcement.
Great, now I won't be able to focus on anything for the next few days.
Well, in fairness to me, there are clues.
I, for one, an looking forward to not keeping secret DJP's deal with Osteen to be his first satellite church in Houston anymore, so Thursday: come quickly.
Satellite: A hired agent or obsequious follower: minion, sycophant.
That was beyond mean.
Hey, Doug, at least you're not Dr. Cornelius "I've got the death sentence in twelve systems!" Evazan. [/uber Star Wars nerd ref]
This is making me nostalgic for those old convention trips...except, y'know, with more edification this time.
I'm still holding out hope for this being Elephant Room 3. I mean, you already have Beth Moore and Joel Osteen here...Jakes and Ed Young, Jr. are only a few hours away...Hagee, too. Heck, that's a whole lot of elephants to pack into one room!
If Only Mark Driscoll was returning our phone calls ...
Being in the know, I'm ecstatic about the news. I think Pyro readers are going to be blown away by the work being done.
I'm sure Driscoll could pop by to hand out some books....
Sounds like you are planning a huge GARAGE SALE?? Will there be marked down items on the 24th? LOL #nottellingwhatiknow
January in Houston -- what's the weather like there? (I'm sure it is better than here in OH.)
Wish we could have seen you when you were here in Cincy for the conference. I took the kids to the Creation Museum, but a few days later.
I'm guessing that you, Phil, and Frank will all be at CBC for some legendary event. If so, count me in!
(I mean, what ELSE are we to think with the three monkeys at the bottom of the page?)
It's just not a comment meta without One-Star hater...
I cut Dan some slack since I figure he's just pulling a Queen Esther--she invited King Ahasuerus and Haman to a banquet just to...invite them to another banquet. ;) Oh, the suspense!
That rocks, gracengraphite.
(c:
Frank, I don't know about Driscoll, but there is a Harvest Bible Chapel not too far from CBC...so maybe Old MacDonald can drop in and sing a tune. E-I-E-I-O instead of B-I-B-L-E, I guess.
Many vowels are good.
Props to LanternBright for ability to read the signs.
It's actually going to be a 3-day healing service featuring Benny Hinn and Dr. Michael Brown.
It is encouraging to see the retired Pyro and the menace who could only be stopped (however temporarily it might be) by a hiatus joining up with DJP (does that mean we get to see two Phils at once?) for something over a weekend in Houston in January. Kinda like a reunion tour...
If this is a three-speaker conference, then here’s what we now need to put together. We need a pew up front reserved for Kerry Allen, Myself, TUAD, Trogdor, and a commenter to be named at a later date.
After each message, the as-yet-unnamed commenter will jump up and down shaking pom-poms, shouting “Good message.” Then Kerry will stand and give a Spurgeon quote - from memory - which summarizes the message we just heard point by point. I will then give my own extended comment, which will cause Frank to shake his head and declare me “that kind of Puritan.” Next TUAD will rise and affirm at length that he both agrees and disagrees with the message. Finally, Trogdor will say something tremendously witty, which we will agree is the last word, and we’ll go have coffee and doughnuts in the fellowship hall.
No, TUAD would say "Here's a link to someone who disagrees with you. Argue with him for my entertainment."
Also, you need to add OSH.
After each talk, regardless of content or speaker, he'd say loudly, "Well, THAT sucked."
Re. TUAD - That's fine, so long as it's impossible to tell what TUAD himself thinks.
Re. ONS - He may only come if he wears this costume.
Hey! Over here! What am I...chopped liver???
For the record let me say that I am not ashamed to be living within 110 miles of Tom Chantry.
I think a seat should be reserved for your most faithful commenter...Don Sands.
Can you get John MacArthur to come? Or maybe he could address the conference by video like RC Sproul did at Strange Fire.
SOCK PUPPET!
Oh, how I have missed Sock Puppet!
You guys have no idea how much I love Sock Puppet. If we could clown people in the comments at Blogger, and Sock Puppet would comment every day, I would quit hiatus immediately.
I guess the only question is, why do you need Phil and Dan to make three at this conference when Frank's deteriorating mental state on hiatus has already resulted in him already assuming three separate personalities.
Only the Vulcan mind meld can repair this.
Actually, we'd need one more person to stand up, object to something Dan said, and Dan to say, "Go listen to the talk again." Eventually, this person would get booted out the door.
Wait, wait, wait...can I be the guy who stands up to complain about the tone of the conference speakers?
I forgot the Tone Police?
*facepalm*
I am trying to think of something relentlessly witty to say but am being bowled over by all of the other (and longer-standing) commenters. This is good for my humility, if nothing else.
I too am very excited about the announcement. When I remembered Dan's Twitter announcement yesterday, I happily logged on to Pyro...and now find myself looking forward to Thursday instead. :)
So... it's Thursday now... (the Internet does not encourage patience)
Will Bobby Grow get a panel to discuss his paper "The Phenomenology of Wilhelmus a Brakel's Eschatological and Pneumatological Angst: Tensions Between Reformed Trinitarian Dogmatics and Later Practical Soteriologies"?
Which volume?
OK, I know this is going insanely far back for a punch-line, but:
Is Lou Martuneac going to have a book table at the conference?
He wrote a book? Why didn't he say something?
See, the good jokes never get old!
...and the old jokes never get good.
Please DO NOT invite Maky Gascloud. Please.
