Our @CanonFodderNOLA Brass Band had such a blast today playing for our new friend Scott’s 40th birthday party. What a great group of family and friends to parade with. Mostly I’m thankful live music is back.

For those of you around my age, here’s a reminder for you. We got to be teenagers in the 80s! Have you stopped and thanked God for that recently? ;)

Many years ago I commented to my father that New Orleans is the only city I know where capes and tutus are every day apparel. But then there’s this. We also have this… and things akin to this.

My Christmas music hot take. All Christmas songs sung by Nat Cole, are immediately and irrefutably better versions than all other versions of those songs.

For your enjoyment or annoyance here is a friendly Christmas morning reminder to all my friends … Dec 25 isn't Jesus' birthday, "X" is a Greek symbol for Christ, it wasn’t a silent night, no wisemen were at the manger scene & the real Santa slaps heretics. #MerryXmas

Michelle and I slipped away to Baton Rouge to see my favorite band play a Christmas show. Tower of Power’s Holiday and Hits should blow the roof completely off this place by the end of the night. Merry Christmas to all of you who still be Diggin’ on James Brown.

This guy is not only THE most loved & appreciated man in the Southern Baptist Convention, he’s a long-time family friend & we love him deeply. He even flew to my hometown to be with us during the week of dad’s funeral. We love Don & enjoy visiting with him when he’s in NOLA.

We are so proud of our brilliant daughter-in-law. Her scholarship is matched by her passion for the Gospel. She is a gift to us and will be a gift to those she will influence in the future.
Just finished my last PhD seminar ever!I’m so thankful for the gift that the PhD program has been so far & the opportunity to think deeply & grow Some next steps & hurdles remain before the next stage of my program but getting to this point is such a gift of God’s faithfulness!

Snagged a couple of great spots for the Macy’s Parade. And right across from the Dakota!

You can't be thankful "for" & not be thankful "to." Ultimately there is one to whom all thanks is due. Col 1:16-17 #annualthanksgivingtweet

On tap for tomorrow… checking “giant parade balloons” off my bucket list, a visit to Radio City to see Clara and the Rockettes, and an evening at Bryant Park. Gonna be a great day with no rain and no turkey (except the one above the front door of Macy’s).

Hey friends… if you are in Boston for the ETS annual meeting, go pack the room and listen to my daughter-in-law, Meagan extrapolate some Bavinck. As Quint says… “She’s so good!” and we’re so proud!

I’m at the gym watching the Baptists play the Catholics tonight. The irony is not lost on me. The conundrum I’m experiencing this evening? I’m rooting for the Catholics. 😉 #hereistand #geauxSam #16

A GREAT weekend all the way around including getting to meet and hear live who I beleive is the greatest female voice of her generation. Been a fan of Morgan James for over 12 years. What a power house! She blew the roof off of the New Orleans Jazz Market!

Headed to OKC to speak to a gathering of college students. Just arrived at DFW in C, headed to D. One would think it would be a short journey. Not so here in the land of chaos & anarchy where order & reason go to die. 4 stops later I’m in D. #DFW #BartsFavoriteAirport

Every three weeks my discipleship group gets to meet among these behemoths. Pretty neat setting if you ask me.

You think “Life of a Showgirl” is risqué? Man, just wait till you hear this, clearly new-to-you track, called “Song of Songs.” Get ready to do some real pearl clutching. Taylor ain’t got nothing on ya boy Solomon.
