More scoop out of Hattiesburg: Former @SouthernMissBSB standout Dustin Dickerson is returning to the program in a development role to held exclusively with the infielders, I'm told. I'm sure #SMTTT fans will love this addition.

The authors of Title IX (1972) would have thought someone who talked like this had lost their mind.

The attitude of Old School Presbyterians toward other evangelical churches:

“We prefer our presbyterian system, as, on the whole, most conformable to the primitive pattern, and most salutary in its practical operation; but we can freely acknowledge, as sister churches in the kingdom of Jesus, those who adopt the congregational scheme, or the episcopal system of three orders of ministers. We recognize the validity of their ministry and sacraments; we commune freely with them, not only in our churches, but in theirs, unless excluded by their rules and principles.

“You know fully our practice of inviting their ministers into our pulpits, and their members to our communion-table" (Pastoral Letter of the Synod of Virginia, 1837)

Outstanding @PublicDiscourse essay on the past, present, and future of bioethics during America’s 250th from Christopher Tollefsen: “Man is not the measure in the Declaration’s ontology; rather, human endeavors must be measured against that which the Creator has ordained.”

@AdrienneRoyer Well I suppose replacing a recommended report that discourages Christian Nationalism with one that encourages it would be more drastic than appending a pro-CN alternative report. But yeah, 99% of us saw it as nonsensical; never had a chance

[TheReformedMind @TheReformedMind]

@AdrienneRoyer Actually, the overtures was to "append" it not replace it; it failed miserably tho

The PCA GA (and Overtures Committee) has basically said this year that current language in our constitution regarding the nature and function and eligibility for church leadership is sufficient. Violations should be dealt with judicially not legislatively at this point. #pcaga

"The enemy smelled our blood and thought we were prey. They forgot that a wounded animal is the most lethal. We tore that jungle apart to stay alive."

Major James Capers Jr stands as one of the greatest Recon Marines to ever do it. He enlisted in the Corps and fought his way into Force Recon where he became the leader of Team Broadminded. He completed more than 60 long range patrols and five major campaigns in Vietnam.

In 1967 near Phu Loc he was wounded 19 times while fighting a numerically superior enemy force. With broken legs, shrapnel across his body he refused evacuation until every Marine on his 9 man team was lifted out. His Silver Star citation states he continued to coordinate fire and movement under direct and indirect fire while suffering extreme blood loss.

That Silver Star, originally downgraded after his commander was kill*d and the Medal of Honor paperwork lost, is now being formally upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Capers was not only a mustang, he earned a battlefield commission in combat, a rare honor that speaks to the trust his Marines placed in him.

At eighty eight he remains a giant, a warrior who carried his team through hell and set the standard every Recon Marine still measures himself against.

WATCH: For many, Matthew Russo is viewed as the face of Southern Miss Baseball.

An incredible 5-year chapter closed on Saturday afternoon at USM after a loss in the Hattiesburg Regional.

Russo shared the impact Southern Miss had on his life.
