He Said/ She Said:
Girls

Boys will be boys, and girls will be girls. And never the twain shall meet in our house–at least for now.

Luke and Garrett, having just completed the fifth grade, still subscribe to the theory that girls have cooties and are not to be trusted. Soon, no doubt, they'll realize that girls don't have cooties but still aren't to be trusted.

Some of their friends already have fallen to the dark side. A few, in fact, have fallen so hard they've damaged their heads, I think.

FORT WORTH–An effort to establish a school of evangelism within Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary is gaining momentum, according to a report published in Baptist Press.

A report written by Philip Barber, a current Southwestern student and associate to North Carolina evangelist Ted Stone, indicates trustees are considering creating such a school.

Barber reported that Stone, a seminary trustee, made a motion at the board's October 2002 meeting that the teaching and practice of evangelism become the seminary's No. 1 priority.
