Tennessee Baptist Convention Meeting - Thermometer Calibration

In the next few days, I expect the conversation here at the Baptist Refugee Camp to get a little snarky. Snarky is a word that needs more respect in Baptist circles...it is what we do when we are at our worst, but yet at our best being Baptists.

There will be words here about my fellow Baptists over at the Concerned Tennessee Baptists Party that they will not like. It is not personal, my friends, it is just that I hate to see a group of conservatives have all the fun when it comes to innuendo and character assasination in the name of righteous accountability.

The CTB group is unequivocally Baptist. I have irrefutable proof: The published menu for the Concerned Tennessee Baptist, convention dinner, at Bellevue Baptist Church on Tuesday night is as follows: "...grilled boneless chicken breast with mushroom sauce, wild rice, julienne spring vegetables, tossed salad, rolls, French silk pie, and beverages."

The group will be forgiven (this time) for not including mashed potatoes, caseroles, or homemade ice cream. Without a doubt there is more pressing business to attend to when political groups gather...traditional Baptist delicacies are overlooked when there are doctrinal integrity papers to be signed and candidates to rally around.

I understand that wives are welcome at the church dinner, as long as they remain silent*.
