I’m doing an interview on Prime Time America on the Moody Broadcasting Network today at 4:30 PM. Central Time. We’ll be talking about the problem of doubt and the Christian faith. We will discuss these questions:
“If I believe, why do I doubt?”
“Is it a sin to doubt?”
“How can doubts help my faith to grow?”

9:27 AM A friend emailed this thought: “I am trying to do more listening and less talking during my time with God, to make sure I don’t miss a thing he want to say to me.” That reminds me that this is Day 12 of the 21-Day Prayer Challenge. The prayer goes like this: “Heavenly Father, you are in charge of everything that will happen to me today–the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the positive and the negative. Please make me thankful for everything that happens to me today. Amen.”
9:27 AM Breakfast today: chocolate chip pancakes and scrambled eggs!
7:11 AM I can’t explain this either, but I like it.
7:07 PM Special thanks to Steve Boisse for sending me a Monk-e-mail. I can’t explain it. Check it out and see for yourself.
6:58 AM Yesterday Christine Stout and Morgan Williams arrived from Oak Park for a visit. They left at 1:30 AM, arriving in Tupelo at 11 AM, none the worse for the overnight journey. Last night we took them to Fire Station # 1 for some excellent barbecue (with cole slaw piled on top of the barbecue), waffle fries, sweet tea and hush puppies. Today I’m taking Morgan for a tour of the property on the ATV.
6:54 AM So I was surprised last night when Katharine was almost voted off of American Idol. Not surprised at all that Lisa didn’t make the cut. And glad that my sort of look-alike Taylor Hicks made it easily. I think it will be Taylor or Chris in the end.
6:53 AM I’m doing an interview on Prime Time America today at 5:15 PM Central Time. You can listen online at WMBI.
6:50 AM Good morning. How’s the weather where you are? Here in NE Mississippi, it could hardly be nicer. Blue skies, no clouds, bright sunshine, no wind so the surface of the lake is as smooth as glass. The forecast calls for a high temperature of 80 degrees. A perfect day for a bike ride along the Natchez Trace.
