The Garden of Gesthemane was a crucible of sorts for Christ and his disciples.  The late Dr. Frank Pollard pointed out there were many gates out of the garden.  One led to self-sacrifice, requiring little else but faith.  There was the gate of the cynic, who criticizes every and all.  The sleeping disciples took another gate, living in their own little bubble.  Last but not least, Dr. Pollard saved his fire for those who leave through the gate of the fiercely sure as he called out purists who go looking for a fight instead of serving others.  The 1987 sermon is one of his better ones.  Enjoy.

And now, with over fifty-three trips under my belt—plus two years off for COVID— 25 guests at a time, it’s become a big part of my life’s work.

As it did in 2024, the issue died an ignominious death in a conference committee that could not reach consensus on a Senate-approved bill prohibiting so-called “sweepstakes” gaming that had mobile online sports gaming tacked on as a Hail Mary to move the stalled issue.
