Why am I starting a Substack (when the rest of you already have one and it's probably just more noise)?

The two great tests of a professing Christian, according to 1 John, are the test of doctrine (who is Jesus?) and the test of ethics (do you love?).
I hope we can be saddened by both failures in our politicians, and to preach the true, heart-transforming gospel to all.
Cats were better on both sides of the ball in that half. Three drives killed by officials and one bad defensive play. We could easily be up a touchdown or more.
Let’s go do it in the second.
Two absolutely horrendous holding calls against Kentucky to kill multiple drives. The twelfth man is out in Knoxville.
In the same stretch: Kentucky has been a road underdog 7/7 time and has won 4 of those games straight up.
Sports media: “Tennessee has the best home field advantage in college football.”
Stats: Tennessee is 3–4 in home SEC games since the start of last year, and has been outscored by SEC opponents at home during that stretch.
Me, telling my kids about the Reformation…
My 4 year-old son's summary: "So, the bad guys nailed Martin to the church door?"
Close!
We are more than halfway through the college football season and Kentucky has the best resume of any team in the SEC.*
*I am not saying they are the best team. But only one loss, win against LSU, and three road conference wins is the best SEC resume.
I know our kicker stinks, but I don't get going for it when you have to get 4 against a top 5–10 defense, and leaving the door open for a FG to beat you. This is gonna be a 16–14 final, I'm afraid…
