Happy Mardi Gras

Just wanted to extend a Happy Mardi Gras to all. It is really weird to think about the fact that this is a holiday here in New Orleans and pretty much a regular work/school day for everyone else around the country. Sorry you don't get a day off! I guess there still are some perks for New Orleanians.

Speaking of Mardi Gras, I'm sure some of you noticed the anonymous comment posted concerning this year's festivities. I must admit, my first thought was, "I'm not responding to an anonymous comment!" Come to find out, the author didn't intend to be unknown. Lawrence, a Berean elder and a good friend, revealed himself as the culprit.

So, Lawrence's comment has been swimming in my head over the past week or so. I plan on posting a response either today or tomorrow...
