What if...?

I spent most of the morning studying for Sunday. I have mentioned before that I enjoy the preparation as much as the preaching. And Gen. 16 really is a fascinating chapter.

Have you ever tried to ride a unicycle? I got rid of my training wheels 'long about 7th grade, so you know I haven't. Despite that, this guy is impressive. Or crazy. Probably both.

Pam and I went out for dinner tonight and got to talking about what life would be like for each of us if we hadn't met and married each other. I figured I wouldn't have gone into the ministry because single guys don't get hired to be pastors. Unless they're going to be priests. And I'd make a lousy priest. So I probably would have gone into law - a criminal defense attorney. I'd be making deep into six figures, own a stable of hot cars and bikes and a cool house somewhere. But I'd be miserable, wandering alone through life knowing that my soul mate was out there, but somehow we'd missed each other. All I'd have is a lot of sweet cars and bikes to ride. Yeah, I'd be miserable.
Fortunately, we did meet and married, and I have Stealth Reliabity. A much better outcome.

Please pray for our two grandkids. Pam has to work Saturday so I'm taking care of them by myself for about 6 hours while Josh & Aubri go out for the afternoon and evening. This could get interesting.

Did you read about Brian McNamee? He's the guy who says he injected Roger Clemmens with steroids and HGH, a claim which Clemmens vehemently denies. Today, just prior to his deposition before Congressional lawyers tomorrow, McNamee reportedly handed over syringes and swabs he saved from injecting Clemmens. The assumption is that they'll find DNA and traces of the drugs.
This is getting too good. Somebody's going down hard. But until everybody has played all their cards this is one great poker game, and somebody is a terrific bluff.
