Our office closed early on Friday. Three team members were off anyway. Left at 4:30 and stopped by two thrift stores on the way home. Watched the movie Prairie Fever, which was okay.
Saturday morning golf. Home by 8:45 am for a 9 am zoom call with friends from overseas. Then met four buddies at noon for lunch at Taqueria Tsnami. I got the bowl with chicken, rice, beans, etc. Then back home to do housework and such. Watched some of the Colonial. That night we went over to the Chiles with two other couples. Rob grilled steaks. Later ice cream and brownees out on the back deck, before a time of sharing and prayer.
Sunday school and worship. Afterwards e ate up at the Forum at Superica. Didn’t get home until after 3 pm. More of the Colonial. Braves were on a channel we could watch. Also watched Dr. Cha.
Up early on Monday for more golf. Took my other friend Reid. He hit the green on four straight par threes. I played okay. Home by 9;30 am. A day of working around the house. Swapped winter clothes out for summer. Cleaned upstairs for several hours. Vacuumed. Got a few bags ready for Goodwill, including some clothes that are too big for me (I will sell others). C made a chicken dish and collard greens. M ate with us. W&MC were out on Lake Arrowhead with her parents.
Up early to lift weights. Too sore and tired to run. My feet aren’t the prettiest to look at, because I have bunions. They hardly ever hurt, but last Thursday I was on my feet walking / standing from 1 pm to 6 pm – five straight hours. Then after the game I had to walk the 1-1/2 miles back to the car. My foot has hurt since then. Played golf twice – both times a 2+ mile hike up and down hills. Not bad pain but worse than usual. My friend Rob had his bunions surgically “fixed”. Said one went well, but the second had some issues. Recommended to avoid the surgery unless my pain was bad. I am trying to not let little aches and pains bother me.
After an active Memorial Day I was sitting to work on Tuesday with my shoes kicked off. Angie went home sick. Renee on vacation. Rodney and Shane and Brad are working remote today, so it’s just me and Rachel and Sherryl in my area. Think I’ll sneak in a morning round of golf on Thursday.
DENISON: in cultural conflicts, our opponents are not our enemies. Satan is the enemy; those who reject biblical truth are his victims: “The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ” (2 Cor 4:4). “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14). This is why “speaking the truth in love” should be our daily aspiration and mantra (Ephesians 4:15).
William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, died in 1912. His prophetic prediction for the 20th century: “The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.”
One of Fordham College’s finest all-around athletes, FRANKIE FRISCH [SABR Bio] was a slashing half-back in football, named a College All-American his senior year. Derived from his complaints as a manager, one of his signature lines as a radio broadcaster was, “Oh, those bases on balls!” A player-manager for St. Louis, Frisch then skippered the Pirates and finally the Chicago Cubs. The only World Series champion team Frisch managed were led in 1934 by the pitching brothers Dizzy and Daffy Dean. Frisch is the only non-Yankee to appear in 50 pre-Expansion Era World Series games. The slick-fielding Frisch never committed more than one error in any World Series game. Christened Frank Francis Frisch, his nickname was The Fordham Flash. His rough-and-tumble 1934 World Champion Cardinals were dubbed The Gashouse Gang.
