So I’m heading to the game tonight, and pull up behind a Mercedes (sp?) at the light. It’s a nice looking car, but it’s name surprised me. Imagine driving around in a Benz “Kompressor”! For some reason, this car doesn’t strike me as very safe. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be compressed…
I went to a baseball game tonight. I help coach a team of boys ages 9 – 10 and we play on Wednesday nights. Because I need to be at prayer meeting, I am usually able to go to the beginning or the end, depending on if we have the late game or the early…
I will forever be more compassionate towards people from the South that come into an environment where they are not surrounded by Southern culture. It used to be I was one of those people that would say (or think) “Oh, keep talking. I love your accent.” Or tease them for saying that wonderful word, “Y’all”….
Here is a funny song that I like. It is a parody of all love songs. It describes what type of line would be used at that particular part of the song. For instance: If a love song says “No one could love you as much as I do…” – This song says “Belief that no…
OK, first off today are the sermon notes from yesterday. True Knowledge It was a powerful message to me at least, and I could sense the Spirit flowing as I preached. After the second point I just turned the notes over and spoke from my heart. This was freeing in some ways and I think…
Ever get tired of typing? I’ve been sitting at this computer all day long, studying and typing my thoughts. I have also answered a couple e-mails. I have other e-mails I could answer, and longer, more interesting blog posts to make, but I’m sick of typing. I want to do something different for a change….
Please tell me if this guy reminds you of a “tough” Dr. Frederickson. (The one behind the desk.) He looks like what I think Dr. Fred would look like if he weren’t such a nice guy. There is also a picture of him on Drudge’s website, but I didn’t want to link there because there…
Perhaps this will spark an interesting discussion. Here is an illustration I had in my sermon notes for “Do not judge (Romans 14)”. (See post for April 30th.) I didn’t actually use this illustration in it’s fullness, but a friend asked me recently for clarification, and this is what I wrote: The “Skirts and Pants” illustration…
Last night I watched an incredible movie! “Cinderella Man” starring Russell Crowe was just one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It was good from so many angles. Plenty of drama, nice fighting sequences, excellent plot, rooting for the under-dog kind of sports flick, an interesting look into the Depression, brotherly…
I had thought to give a decent length post here in the middle of the day. But time is getting away from me and I need to pursue other projects today. Perhaps later. But I will say this… Growing up is fun in some ways, and hard in others. Of course, maturity is important and…

This morning I took a walk. It is a rather nice walk actually, considering I live in town. There is this road that I walk on that almost feels like I’m in the country, especially when I get to the top of the hill and look out over the pasture and see the horses grazing….
Here are some pictures I thought you might enjoy. They are chronological from oldest to newest. My late Grandpa Hinton and my father who was not even a year old in this picture. Dad used to be a professional Christian singer. This is his album cover from 1980. Love the hair Dad! Toothless Jarod, Cutie…
OK, I’d thought I’d post a poem. I want to post some other things too, but I don’t want to post too long a text. Here is a poem I wrote for a family that recently lost a loved-one. Sometimes He Says Nothing by Jarod Hinton, 2006 If I had words to speak just now…
Woo Hoo!!! I think my $800+ tax refund was deposited in my account today! That is totally nice! So that means I gave the government $800 too much last year, and they are finally giving it back! Ahhhh. I hope to buy a new laptop computer with that money. I’ll keep you posted on that. Also,…
