Okay, I’m a pastor, and I blog, that makes me a blogging pastor? I also communicate much better verbally than I do in writing. Don’t know why, its just the way I am. I also have a panache for misspelling words. (I spelled panache right the first time, but misspelled right in this sentence)

In case you didn’t read my blog yesterday, I predicted a 14 point or two touchdown victory by LSU over Ohio State in the BCS Championship Bowl. In case you didn’t watch the game or have not seen the score it was:
