For the past few years I’ve frequently found myself getting bored with life. I’m getting bored with sports and routines and brushing my teeth and tying my shoelaces. I’m bored with facebook, the Internet, sending resumes to strangers and I’m even tired of watching old Journey music videos on youtube. […]
I’m not sure what town it was in or even what route we were on. I think it might have been Connecticut, or somewhere near the Saw Mill Parkway. But there it was, painted in large red letters under a bridge: ANNIE I had never given graffiti much thought. I […]
I haven’t always been very involved with politics. I think the biggest reason is because I don’t like politics. I am particularly sensitive to disharmony and I don’t like all the ugliness that comes out with each election. I don’t like the advertisements and put-downs. I don’t like the feelings […]
This note is loosely based on the career of Sal Fasano and the Jeff Pearlman article linked below. http://www.rd.com/your-america-inspiring-people-and-stories/baseball-player-contemplates-steriod-use/article89787-1.html He doesn’t know what to think anymore or how to act or what he’ll do in a few years. He scatters seed, but doesn’t see much fruit. You see, when you […]
There have been many times where I’ve felt misled, deceived and betrayed by God. I get tired of hearing people say “God is never late” or “God will never let you down”. I think a better expression is, “God knows what He’s doing” – even if we don’t know what we’re […]
Because we are important to God, I think God cares about what is important to us. I also think it is a good thing to look back at where we’ve come from and what God has brought us through. Even though memories can bring up sadness for things and people […]
Growing up as a Boston sports fan in the 80’s and 90’s wasn’t exactly easy. There was the whole Bill Buckner thing. Clemens could never seem to win the big game. My favorite player on my favorite team in my favorite sport suddenly collapsed dead in a gym one day […]
I was sitting closest to the aisle and it was the first Sunday of the month, so it was time for communion. The elder passed me the bread and looked straight into my eyes and said, “The body of Christ, broken for you”. People tend to focus on how large […]
For the most part, life is pretty boring and uneventful. I don’t even realize I’m getting older until I see a picture from a few years ago. It seems like change is a lot quieter than I thought it would be. There is no band that plays in the background […]
Who is the better golfer?
Who will get us first?
Who was the best lawyer?
Must've been all that chocolate milk he consumed the last few years
Al Horford headed to his first NBA Finals at age 35. In no small part because Horford, at age 35, is still damn good.
Because we’re going through our lives, and we’re trying as hard as we can, and things just seem to always blow up in our faces, and we keep going, ‘God, God, why?’ We don’t know what he’s doing. So just let him do it. If you really believe he’s good, then let him do it. People always say, ‘I don’t know where the Lord is leading me.’ I always say, it don’t really make a whole lot of difference. The important thing is to be where he has led you to already. If he has led you into a marriage, then be faithful there. If he has led you into being single, then be faithful there. If he has blessed you with many material goods, then be a good steward of those goods. And if he has blessed you by allowing you to imitate his life of poverty, then imitate it with great joy.
