Grasscutting Therapy

Evander Holyfield spent over ten million building a huge mansion south of the airport, then spend a million a year on maintenance. Rapper Rick Ross bought it for him for less than six million, rents it out to movie crews to recoup millions, and cuts his own grass. Loves the experience and recommends it to others. Of course he has a huge John Deere tractor with tinted windows on his cab, and he partakes of his own signature brand of cannabis as he mows.

Ross recently saved $10,000.00 by cutting down ten trees himself. Ross owns over 25 WingStop franchises and is involved in other business ventures, and recently bought Amare Stoudamire’s mansion in Florida. Instead of private jets, Ross flies Delta whenever possible. He is such a businessman that Forbes magazine recently profiled him.

Saturday morning I golfed with the other two Candler Park regulars. Drove straight home and did more cleaning out upstairs. Filling up my car with giveaway stuff. Not sure if the dust got to me, as I had a headache the rest of the day.

Sunday night dinner was a Mexican white bean chili, which included chicken. Had leftovers on Sunday.

Braved the rain for Sunday School and worship. Sunday night we ate at the Cho’s house. Cindy always cooks a delicious traditional Korean dinner, which included seasoned baked Salmon, chicken and vegetables, rice, and Korean pancakes. Also in attendance: Reid & Noelle, Rob & Nancy, and Lee & Nancy.

A young lady from our Sunday School class shared her amazing testimony. She had grown up in China. At 14 she joined her mother in the US. After GT she worked in an architecture firm in Paris, but returned to Atlanta and started buying up run down houses, fixing them up, and renting them out. Her mom challenged her to do more than watch TV, so she started ordering best-selling books to read. Not knowing it was a Christian book, she ordered The Purpose Driven Life. She read the Bible but it didn’t make sense. Alone on a boat in Lake Alatoona she  asked God to reveal Himself to her. Just then thousands of small fish swarmed all around the boat. This girl is a no-nonsense serious person. Now she’s training to be sent out as a missionary. Having completed a seminary-like program taught at Church of the Apostles, she now helps teach there. An amazing story.

Working from home again today. C cooked me a grilled chicken sandwich for lunch.

Rude things you shouldn’t do on a golf course. Articles I read instead of reading tips on how to swing a golf club.

KEN BRETT  [SABR Bio] was a well-traveled veteran. Ironically he got lost on the way to his first professional team. He played for ten teams in the majors but got lost on his way to play for the level A Red Sox in Oneonta, NY in 1966. Brett set a record for pitchers when he homered in four consecutive starts. He hit a home run on 09-Jun; 13-Jun; 18-Jun: & 23-Jun-1973. Following the 1967 World Series Brett spent six months in the U.S. Army Reserve and missed spring training in 1968.

Denison on Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson:I was unable to find much information online about her faith or religious commitments. I did learn she served as an advisory school board member for the Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Maryland, in 2010 and 2011. This is significant because the school, a ministry of the Montrose Baptist Church, has a statement of beliefs that defines marriage as “the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime” and that opposes “all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography.” However, when asked about her board service during her confirmation hearing for the DC Court, she stated she did “not necessarily agree” with all the statements of the many boards on which she has served. She added regarding the school’s statement, “I was not aware of that.” She did state, “I do believe in religious liberty,” calling it a “foundational tenet of our entire government.”
