Life is a Sitcom 510

Everyone says their workplace should be made into a sitcom, and my office is no exception. Our current cast of characters. Not sure I’m enough of a character to make the cut. I’d be the normal one, like Jerry, right?

MICKEY LOLICH [SABR Bio] led the league one year in games started, wins, complete games and strikeouts yet didn’t win the Cy Young Award. Oakland’s Vida Blue won the 1971 AL Cy Young Award as well as the league MVP. Lolich was a close second in the CYA voting and 5th in MVP. In one stretch, he pitched over 300 innings for four straight years: from 1971-1974. Lolich pitched 376, 327-1/3, 308-2/3, and 308 innings for Detroit. In 1979, Lolich invested in a doughnut shop in Rochester, Michigan, with the understanding that his partner would run the business.  Following disagreements, Lolich bought out his partner and began running the business and called it Lolich Donuts & Pastry shop.  After losing his lease, he moved the doughnut business to Lake Orion in 1983.  In the late 1990s, Lolich sold the doughnut shop and retired.

YOUSSEF: With the threat of nuclear war becoming more and more likely every day,  Matthew 24:29 becomes all the more believable, as Youssef leads off his devotional… Michael Youssef's sermon series Is the End Near?: WATCH NOW  Jesus gave us the supreme signs of His return, the things that will take place after the great tribulation: The sun will darken, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavens will be shaken (see Matthew 24:29).

Denison on the horrible child murders at the day care center: 69 times more children die each day in the US from abortion than children ages 1-14 die from all other causes combined. Two centuries before Christ, the Jewish Mishnah forbade abortion except to save the life of the mother. The Didache, the earliest theological treatise after the Bible, states, “You shall not procure [an] abortion, nor destroy a newborn child.” From then to now, the sanctity of life has been a central tenet of orthodox Christian faith. Millions of Americans—including 47% of Catholics and 63% of evangelical Protestants—object to abortion as a consequence of their religious beliefs. But the “right to life” today runs headlong into the “right to choose” (this “right” does not extend to the unborn baby, of course). Christians will face increasing attacks on our First Amendment religious freedoms from abortion advocates just as we do from LGBTQ advocates.
