Hunter Baker, a political science professor at Union College, is a man with a sense of humor. For starters, he is quick to make fun of himself. Given that he has both a PhD and a law degree, he occasionally goes by Dr. Hunter Baker, Lawyer – which he jokes is both his name and a string of four quite different professions.
And now there is this clip from a journal he writes:
You’ve been missing something. You have lived your life wondering whether there might be anything greater than yourself, some cause, some great undertaking to which you might dedicate your life. You have experienced many of the world’s possibilities, eaten many meals, played with many toys, accumulated goods, but still found yourself dissatisfied. Perhaps now you have come to a time of decision. Maybe you are ready to move to a different level. You are ready to leave lesser things behind as you subordinate your life and goals to something big enough that you can place your hopes upon it.
What I am asking is this: “Are you ready to give your life to the Southeastern Conference of the NCAA?” Or maybe you already have? We have meetings every Saturday.
Hmm. I know many who attend worship services there.
