    Our pastor has an incredibly wide--and deep--knowledge of history. And not just ecclesiastical history, either; but also secular history.

    My wife has often commented that if he had not gone into the ministry, he should have become a history professor.

    Well, just last night--at Monday night class--I found out why.

    Way back in 1981, he became frustrated with watching television, and smashed his TV by throwing it to the ground--an old black-and-white set--and has not owned a TV since.

    In order to fill the time, however, he chooses to read--and mostly (presumably) about history. At least, when he is not studying the Bible.

    I like to think that I have a pretty good historical knowledge. But quite frankly, I am nowhere near the same class that he is in.
