Plain and simple: The Tarheels loss to Minnesota was due to the lack of not spreading the "love", the "rock", the ball around for others to contribute in the points column besides Barnes.  You can not wait for a star player to get hot and watch him go 0-12 and not have others REALLY take a crack at getting the team back on track. The loss to Vanderbilt was due to the lack of knowledge of what play signals go with what plays and "where-in-the-heck am I suppose to be on the floor" mentality for everybody - which leads everybody and their grand mama to scream -  the Heels have no leadership .  Carolina desperately needs a floor General and we have been missing that ever since Larry Drew took the point. The Ashville win?!  Really?! (Sarcasm included)  This was due to the fact that we allowed other players to play (note my comments on Minnesota).  Zeller got 23 points.  Wow!  Look what happens when you get the ball to someone who has been on the ...

Welcome to another great year and edition of In My Humble Opinion.  The self-proclaimed, award-winning publication on the pulse of the Carolina Tarheel men's basketball team.  I am Chad the writer, editor, CEO, and all other positions and it is great to have you along for this wonderful ride with the true Blue and White! Our journey starts with Lipscomb this time.  Before the encounter Coach Williams said he was concerned with this team because of their outside threat (3-point capability).  That fear was well met with plenty of bombs from the Bison in the first half that kept them in the game.  This shot has always been Carolina's weakness and everybody knows it.  The percentages have been played and continue to be played to a certain degree, but with three point specialist in other teams arsenal, UNC is going to have to develop a plan for that threat.  I suggest placing someone with very long arms and the talent of knowing how to move his ...

The first impression I got when I started reading this Psalm was that of an attempt to stay away from "shame".  The shame of missing a command, law, or statute that the LORD had given to His people.  "Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.  Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.  They do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways.  You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.  Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!  Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands." (vv.1-6) We should all know by now that there is only one person that has not missed fulfilling a command, law, or statute in history - Jesus of Nazareth.  However, this Psalm goes on to describe how one can "keep his way pure" and the answer is found in verse 9. "How can a young man keep his way pure?  By living according to your word." For the Jews ...

If any of us, especially worship leaders, were wondering about where to find some answers on the topic of worship in the Bible start at Psalm 92:1-3 . "It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp." What? And who and a little bit of why?  "It is good" for us to worship the LORD and not only is it "good" to worship Him, but worship is actually already broken down in this verse into "praise" (Hebrew - Yadah) meaning to give thanks, extol, make a public confession,or make an admission AND "make music" (Hebrew - Zamar) meaning to sing, sing praises.  Another why?  Of course all of these praises and making music is to the glory of His name .  Here, "O Most High" is the name that is selected and lifted up.  But in each one of our lives we can pick a different name w...

"Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O LORD my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave." Psalm 86:11-13

 I saw an article that had a picture with the caption "Incredible Religious Monuments" recently.  That is what triggered my thoughts and spirit to the subject at hand - us as Incredible Christian Monuments.  In describing my faith I do not call or label myself "religious".  You can be "religious" about tying your shoes every day or other activities.  I am a Christian and I am honored to be branded as such.  Usually most monuments are set up in honor of people, places, or things of the past.  To that end I still say that we as Christians and even non-Christians wanting to learn about the faith can study the great men and women of Christendom, the "Monuments" that have passed on (C.S. Lewis, Walvrood, Moody, etc...).  BUT I believe we, as Christians, can be "lively monuments".  A person where other people can come to and draw from their life experiences but more importantly their life walk with Jesus in those experiences; ...

Laying my heritage aside and given all the options of faith there are out there, I still choose you LORD.  You knew I would and I can see you smiling in my spirit-man, but I still had to make the decision.  There is no better explanation for our human condition and no better plan of salvation that has been executed than my God's.  You are My God!  I count the cost and see what it cost Father God and Jesus and can see no greater love than this.  That is My God!
