About Me

No need to call me doctor (it was the only domain left). I'm associate professor of New Testament at Knox Theological Seminary and Assistant Pastor at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I've been married for twenty-four years to Cindy, with whom I have two children, Charity and Josiah. Photo of Sam Lamerson

Another Quirky Interest of Mine: Bigfoot

Posted on Thursday, May 29th, 2008 at 6:42 pm

Well I had my first root canal today and since I spent the extra money on the “gas” I pretty much slept through the whole thing.  I am not one who loves to spend money on anything but books, in hard copy or electronic format from Logos.com, but the nitrous at the dentist is a necessity for me.  I am phobic about the dentist, and only because of my great and very patient dentist do I now have anything resembling a healthy mouth.  All of that to say that the stories about root canals being near child-birth in the intensity of pain either were not true or were very well masked by the gas.

I am writing this under the influence of some pain medication, so please don’t take all that I say in this post as being written without a tongue in a fairly sore cheek.  some of it, however, is really serious.  I’ll leave it up to you to decide which is which.
