SBC Resolution One Read more of Luke's writings here   JimBo Stewart: [00:00:00] Here we are. Back at the bootcamp. Back at it again, Bob. I hope you're ready for the next episode. Have you recovered from the amount of char grilled oysters you consumed in the city of New Orleans? I think you had char grilled oysters like four times Bob Bickford: I think five, JimBo Stewart: five. Bob Bickford: counting the Fred Luter, dedication at the, new Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, which was a blast, by the JimBo Stewart: Yeah, that was incredible. Bob Bickford: Got a brass band playing when the saints go marching in. And Fred and his wife and everybody kind of marches in the student center and they have the unveiling of his picture. And I was in the student center, not because I thought Fred was gonna be there, but because I was sweating buckets, because New Orleans is a humidity fest. And, Jimbo, I think I was glistening on a regular basis about 98% of the time. JimBo Stewart: Yeah, I think I was probably like 20 years old before I realized that's not what everyone does at all times. like I just thought everyone glistened during the majority of the year, so,[00:01:00] Bob Bickford: Well, it was fun. You know, I think we had some good experiences in New Orleans. Got to see a lot of friends, got to see some bootcamp listeners and connect with folks, and we did eat, or at least I certainly did eat a fair amount of char grilled oysters, so it was a good time. JimBo Stewart: where were your favorite oysters at? Which ones were your favorite ones? Um, Bob Bickford: Yeah. You know, I, I think I'll rank them. I would say, new Orleans, Orleans, food and Spirits is number one. And it took us about an hour to get in there. we saw it was a Baptist who's who that was in the waiting, area too, Dr. Jeff or from, gateway Seminary. And I didn't go up in greed. You know, I, I don't know that I've met him personally before. I think I shook his hand once. He doesn't know who I am. Right. So, but you know, George Ross was there with the Send New Orleans team. It was great to see them. There was a contingent from the Kentucky Baptists that were there, so it was kind of good. And then we were there. So, I mean, we didn't make the, the annual book of reports this year. Jimbo disappointed, but, we were there nonetheless. So I would go seafood, new spirits. I would go then Dragos and then [00:02:00] Moots, probably would be my ranking. JimBo Stewart: My favorite, were actually the ones at Fred Looter's, celebration. They came right off the grill right there. so you had to wait a few minutes to get 'em. At least the ones I got came right off the grill. So they were good, man. You know, we didn't make the book of reports, but in a way We kind of made the resolutions, Bob Bickford: Yeah. JimBo Stewart: I mean, not the replant bootcamp specifically, which I have my qualms for why it wasn't mentioned, and we'll get to that. but the idea of replanting and revitalization was resolution number on
