A blast from the past

At this years Alabama New Year’s Meeting, brother Ronny Wade provided a bit of humor when he related a story from way back in his preaching career. If memory serves me right, the story went something like this:
“In 1951, I went to Kinston, AL to preach my first gospel meeting. In those days I thought everyone in the brotherhood must live at Kinston, AL because that is where the byline in all the OPA articles was from, so I was surprised when the bus dropped me off in downtown Kinston… I stayed with Brother and Sister Cohe (spelling?). At the time, my hair was a bit unruly and I used a hair grease that was a little better than 30 weight motor oil. When I’d preach, the grease would start to run down my face, but sister Cohe had a solution. She was a beautician and she decided to give me a perm… when my mother came down for the meeting, she hardly recognized me…”

Shortly after this, Kevin Presley took the stage and stated that since hearing of this incident, he had been searching high and low for a picture of Ronny touting his permanent…. Ladies and gentlemen… after months of searching, my elite force of investigative journalists has uncovered the only known picture from that time:
HA! Sorry Ronny, I just couldn’t help myself. (and if anyone was wondering, the hair was indeed borrowed from Richard Simmons). For those who don’t know Ronny, here is a modern day video of him doing what he does best, preaching!
Praying for those with afros everywhere,

I can’t believe no one is commenting about this pictorial find. I think it is hilarious, but I had already seen it, shortly after the “discovery” of this photograph in our printshop program on the computer.

[…] A ’significant bias’? You have got to be kidding me. In a world of biases, at least Christians like me admit our bias upfront, that bias being, “God said it and I believe it.” But am I supposed to believe that these two scientists, while talking about those with a bias towards creationism have no bias of their own? Why would they have entered into such a study in the first place, I wonder? I am willing to stake a picture of Ronny Wade with an afro (a priceless posession), that if these two were intellectually honest, they would answer that, in their minds, the only explanation for ‘promiscuous teleology’ among those who ‘prefer creationist explanations’ is some dimwitted childhood psychological phenomenon that we have failed to grow out of… a significant bias, if you ask me.
