<p><p><p>I just worked as a writer for Kaleidoscope magazine. It was a publication of the United Methodist Church. I spent the first 10 years of my life absorbing hell, fire, and brimstone sermons delivered by a Johnny Cash “Man-in-Black” imposter, a preacher named Kermit Blevins, at the Free Will Baptist Church in Piney Creek, NC. When my parents came north, we somehow settled in the old First Presbyterian Church in Ellicott City. In college, I tried a few other churches, and again after I got out of the army, but like you, I finally realized it wasn’t organized religion that I was seeking. I found Jesus, or he found me, and we’ve been cool ever since.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Matt "Nuke LaLoosh" Hobgood gets a neg rep..........seriously?</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thank you!.....I'm honored.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>I checked you out because I strongly agreed with one of your posts in the Stats Are For Dorks thread. After seeing this picture, I not so sure anymore....;-)</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Hey B-hon! Congrats!!....You got your first greenie....very cool. And thanks for remembering......also very cool. Ol' Hippie's remember, too.....sometimes.....so your coolness won't be forgotten.....maybe. LOL. Now.....about that Halladay trade proposal you threw out there......Yikes!!</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Just curious why I got the neg rep for my post in the "Has Anyone Fallen" thread? Since there was nothing in the least bit offensive in the post, I can only assume it was a lack of reader comprehension on your part.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Glad you enjoyed the humor....or the attempt thereof. You're relatively new to OH....welcome!....so I'm sure the negative rep you gave me was a mistake.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Sorry you didn't see the humor in my post, but obviously you know nothing of the history of Mike Flanagan's relationship with Peter Angelos.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thanks for the balancing rep points. I guess my attempt at humor didn't work for everyone.</p></p></p>
