Mike Card and I are in England over most of September... To root for Man United or Man City... That is the real question in this wonderful English town... Pray that Mike and I can learn the difference?

Dear Table Nation,

Cover the Sewers

I recently spent time with some Salvation Army folks and was impressed with their commitment to serve the poor... something many Christian orgs don't do. Their founder was known to make the statement that he and the Army wanted to put a screen or net over the mouth of the sewers in his town to catch, help and give hope to the poorest of the poor... that is a mission worth talking about and getting involved with! They also were way a head of the current thrift-store movement and have helped countless people over their long history...

The Franklin Table

We have a lot going on in and around The Franklin Table... I've read a great book by Michelle Alexander called The New Jim Crow which charts (through research) the growth of the prison population in America which went from 300k to 3m in five years... under the good name of the 'war on drugs'... here in Hard Bargain we see the devastating impact of people serving jail sentences for possesion and use (an addictive illness) against the rightful incarceration of law breakers who push and sell the stuff. I will have more on that and related subjects coming up...

How would it affect our relationships if our Religion was kindness?

Bamboo Flyrods

posted on July 31, 2012 - 10:50 AM

I was fishing on the Watagua River last week with Forrest Reynolds and in the middle of our float, on a particular back cast, I broke my beloved Justin Charles Bamboo Flyrod... It was my favorite... My friend Bill Deaton, who turned me onto Bamboo rods, immediately loaned my his Granger Victory a fantastic rod built in 1936... I also was able, again with Bill's help, to take Bamby (my affectionate name for the JC) to Richard Tyree's shop near the Nashville Moter Speedway where Richard agreed to fix the busted rod! I am fortunate to have friends who know about these things...
