Catchy TV themes, often for popular weekly series, were fondly remembered but not considered much more culturally significant than commercial jingles. Yet noted composers like John Williams, Henry Mancini, Jerry Goldsmith and Lalo Schifrin learned and/or honed their craft in television before going on to major success in feature films.Oscar-winning film composers like Bernard Herrmann, Franz Waxman and Maurice Jarre wrote hours of music for television projects, and such high-profile jazz figures as Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and Quincy Jones...2023-04-1159 min
College Football with SamAuburn Head Coach Hugh Freeze Wants Preseason College Football Scrimmages | College Football 2023Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze wants to have spring scrimmages become a part of College Football, and Troy Trojans head coach Jon Sumrall wants to play Auburn in a week. I think scrimmages would be beneficial to the sport, especially because they would provide some entertainment in the preseason months. Spring matchups would also help prevent injuries on both parties' rosters, as there would be about half of each team's players on the field at a given time (11) as compared to the 22 players on the field for a typical spring game. The benefits go beyond injuries, as both...2023-04-0512 min
The Crimson Thread - May I Gently Suggest?1 Samuel 28-31 Saul's DeathBefore his final battle with the Philistines, Saul had lost all contact with God. In desperation, he consulted a necromancer who channeled the ghost of Samuel who predicted Saul's defeat and death. David meanwhile was rejected when he tried to join the Philistine army fighting against Israel. This was quite providential because he would have had a very difficult time uniting Israel under his reign had he sided with their enemies.2023-04-0438 min

While he defeated them in battle, he took their king as prisoner and the best of their livestock and goods as plunder. He further raised a monument to himself at Carmel. When confronted by Samuel, he deflected the blame to his troops. This disobedience and lack of character caused God to reject Saul as king and choose David as his replacement.2023-02-2134 minThe Crimson Thread - May I Gently Suggest?1 Samuel 10-12 Saul Anointed KingAlthough neither God nor Samuel was pleased with Israel's request for a king, in choosing Saul God gave the project its best chance of success. Saul was from the buffer tribe of Benjamin; he was tall, handsome and brave; he was modest in that he didn't want the job.2023-02-0738 minThe Crimson Thread - May I Gently Suggest?1 Samuel 8-9 Give Us a KingWhen Samuel became old and it was obvious that his sons were not suitable to follow him, Israel asked that he get them a king so that they could be like all the other nations. God was displeased but told Samuel to do what they wanted. The system of judges, while subject to corruption just like every other human institution, structurally provided the greatest potential human liberty. A monarchy was a step away from that liberty and a distancing from God.2023-01-3131 minThe Crimson Thread - May I Gently Suggest?1 Samuel 1-2 The Birth of SamuelThe birth of Samuel. Samuel's mother, Hannah, was barren and bitter about it. Her prayer and promise to God flows from that anguish of soul. After the birth of a son, she makes a song of praise. Mary's prayer, although shorter, is essentially the same. The background on the Priest Eli and his corrupt sons sets the scene for the entire book - the importance of fathers and the consequences of their failure.2023-01-1734 min
