Moneychangers in the temple
Hey, Tim Tebow is as welcome to his personal Lord and Savior as any of us are. He can even bother us with Him in public if he so chooses. But when he does so, he should not be surprised when someone points out that he has allied himself with a pestiferous nutball who believes in swatting around your children. As the good reverend Dobson explains -- in Dare To Discipline, which is one of his books, and not a DVD that you can buy in a dimly lit strip-mall along Rte. 1 -- the parent should remember that, "[P]ain is a marvelous purifier. . . It is not necessary to beat the child into submission; a little bit of pain goes a long way for a young child. However, the spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely."
I guess "suffer the children" means something different in some translations of Scripture.
Nice commercial partner there, NFL.
(And in one of the truly bizarre happenings in all of sports, James Dobson was playing in the pickup game during which Pete Maravich collapsed. Dobson attempted CPR.)

“Still too early, but I share the concern. Would love to see the eventual second unit guys – Baby, Jeff Green, Arroyo, West and probably Kristic – get to play together. Rondo looks exhausted and it would be helpful if Doc could cut back his minutes.
Also, I strongly suspect there were concerns that Perk was not the same player anymore.”

“Packer was serious about hoops. I knew it was a big game when Musberger/Nantz would call a game with Packer. He was old school so he took delight in fundamentals such as a pick/roll or boxing out a rebounder. I'm still a young kid, but I enjoyed his analysis.”
