With homecoming festivities kicking off at 8:30 am Saturday, by the time Tech kicks off at 4 pm I wonder how long the fair-weathered alumni will stick around for much of the game. Sun is gonna set behind the Coke Tower and Grant Field will get chilly.

Man ever since we ditched cable we haven’t been able to watch local high school games on TV, I don’t think.

I signed up for this deal where if Georgia State wins their football game, you get a free Checkers hamburger. This past Sunday morning I received a notification for my first free burger, good that day only. Since I was headed out of town, I missed out on the deal.

Former SPdL youth Brandon Howard has a son in the SC Gamecock marching band. Had a coworker with a son in the Georgia State marching band. Now Susan and Big Larry in Jefferson SC have a son in the Clemson marching band.

Ran three "fast" miles Friday morning. Usually people skip a treadmill to space out in the gym, but a lady was on the machine next to my usual spot. I tried a different treadmill but it made too much noise, so I hopped on right next to the lady. I knew she wouldn’t be there for long, and I was right. ESPN of course was talking about the Mets on SportsCenter this morning.

CLAYTON KERSHAW [B-R Bio] is the only pitcher with the best ERA in the majors for four straight seasons. He had pitched for five minor league teams since his major league debut. When injured, he rehabbed in the Dodgers’ farm system. He led MLB in ERA from 2011-2014 with 2.28, 2.53, 1.83 & 1.77 respectively. He struck out 15 Rockies during his no-hitter on 18-Jun-2014 (would have been a perfect game but for a Hanley Ramirez error).

DENISON: each day’s news provides more proof that we are fallen people living in a fallen world. Why, then, is it hard to convince secular people that they need more than secular society can provide? For the first time in American history, a majority of Americans reject biblical truth on a wide range of moral issues. For many, “morality” is defined as “doing whatever you want to do that doesn’t harm someone else.” This is a logic trap: for me to disagree causes you harm and thus crosses this line. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers”.

Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for His Highest has his definition of sin as “my claim to my right to myself.” Chambers observed: “The disposition of sin is not immorality and wrong-doing, but the disposition of self-realization—I am my own god”. This claim is at the foundation of everything that is wrong with our culture.

 

From Watchman Nee’s The Normal Christian Life: “A day must come in our lives when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute lordship of Jesus Christ. We are no longer our own masters, but only stewards.
