I've finally finished the trip and am in Arlington, Texas, hanging out with my cat Jackson, my sister Wanda, and my daughter Emily. Today's agenda will include adding the videos and photos from the last days of the trip. And watching football, because this is opening weekend of college football season!
In honor of football season, here's the best gospel football song ever: Bobby Bare singing "Dropkick Me Jesus (Through the Goalposts of Life)." This song rests squarely in a very old tradition of using artifacts of the current culture as metaphors for the Christian journey. Other songs in this tradition: The Carter Family's "There'll Be No Depression in Heaven" and the Louvin Brothers "Great Atomic Power."
