Quote of the day. Media Log thought about nominating the Reverend James Allen, an African-American minister who told the Boston Globe's Andrea Estes that the loss of free golf privileges at Franklin Park for a group of black ministers was, well, you know, "a racial thing," maybe.

But then I read down and found this gem from another minister who's suddenly facing the anguish of pay-to-play, the Reverend Brian Gearin:

It would have been nice. But I believe God is in control. If it was meant to be, it would have happened. If you believe God is in control of everything, you're able to take the good with the bad.

Yes, indeed, God works in mysterious ways.
