I do my best to ensure that my sermons are well researched. But every now and then, something slips through the cracks. Case in point: today I mentioned how bizarre it was that Gideon’s army would be represented by a cake of barley bread (Judges 7:13-14). I said, “A dinner roll? A biscuit? That’s not intimidating. You don’t hear sports teams shouting out, ‘Go Biscuits!'”
Well, I stand corrected–by several of the Summit faithful, in fact. Because if you live in Montgomery and you like minor league baseball, then you are, in fact, a Biscuit fanatic:
The folks in Montgomery seem to have quite a bit of fun. In addition to naming their baseball team the Biscuits, they have several mascots. One is a giant biscuit named “Monty.” Another is an orange creature named “Big Mo,” known for his love of biscuits. And just last year, they added a live mascot, a miniature pot-belly pig, named “Miss Gravy, Duchess of Pork.” Not too crummy, if you ask me.
