Heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight but, while their companions slept, they were toiling upward in the night. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It has only been five days since the announcement was made that Dr. Mohler will be nominated for Southern Baptist Convention President in Indianapolis 2008. Five days is not a lot of time, but an ocean of cyber-ink has already been used to cast doubt on the wisdom of electing Dr. Mohler to the position.

So the caucusing for SBC President has begun early, and has begun in earnest. Bring on the debate!

Regarding Dr. Mohler, here at Thoughts and Adventures our cards have always been on the table. What you see is what you get.

Tony Kummer thinks Dr. Mohler would make a great President too. Today he wrote out 16 reasons to support his opinion. Here is the list (Tony fleshes them out):

#1 He Survived Southern Seminary
#2 The Rebirth of Southern Seminary
#3 Young Leaders Will Follow His Vision
#4 His Ministry Is About Multiplying Leaders
#5 Ministry Experience
#6 Billy Graham School Of Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth
#7 Boyce College
#8 Theological Triage
#9 Albert Mohler Radio Program
#10 Daily Blog Articles
#11 Denominational Service
#12 Cooperative Program Seminar
#13 Together For the Gospel
#14 The 2001 Greater Louisville Billy Graham Crusade
#15 Biblical Counseling
#16 Pioneer of New Media

I’ve got some more to add to the list in the coming days. Good work Tony.
