NLYP is Right; This Elder Stuff is Out of Hand

Three observations.

1. The guy was over thirty and considered himself "too young" to ask questions.

2. My District Sup was awesome. He very emphatically stated that "you are not too young to ask questions".

3. While I love our elders, the younger crowd feels emasculated. They feel powerless to speak for fear they will be labelled as rebellious and ungrateful.

Just to think Jesus confouned the ministers of his day at 12.

Hmmmm.....

Milwaukee reliever Grant Balfour recorded the first two outs in the eighth before hitting Eric Byrnes in the left arm with a pitch. Byrnes stole second and Conor Jackson walked, before Reynolds hit his eighth home run

Seems to me, a little more than management, unless he's hitting batters, allowing steals, walking, and then serving up dingers!
