Last week at Hot Stove Johnny Tallant gave me this forty year old classic Nike poster, of Dwight Gooden pitching to Dale Murphy.
Denison on anxiety: one of the most difficult of Christ's commands is to "not be anxious about your life" (Matthew 6:25). The idea here is not that we never experience the emotion of fear—God never commands us how to feel. Rather, the sin against which we are warned is feeding our anxiety by dwelling on it instead of giving it back to God and trusting that he not only knows our needs but has a plan to meet them as well. Fears are understandable. There is plenty we have to be anxious about these days.

Man that Chevron burger place I gotta go to. I got on their email list and received an email from them yesterday. The owner / chef had written an essay about his father, who was always giving to charities. The son now is doing the same, with proceeds from the burger place earmarked to charities every few months.

Politically Incorrect: Tom Hanks first role was on a sitcom in the early 1980’s called Bosom Buddies, where he and Peter Scolari was up as women to gain housing in a low-rent women’s only apartment complex. The other residents all looked like models, but Kip and Henry dressed like women in their 60’s. Perhaps this show was 40 years ahead of it’s time. I could see it coming back to TV, perhaps this time as a drama.
How to clean a glass oven door. Ours looks turrible.
Marty at work is a big basketball fan. He is from Kentucky so he pulls for the Wildcats. He is up to speed on the tourney. I pretty much always pick the favored team and don’t allow for upsets.
As good as they sound, those Publix meal kits. Ceil likes to get the whole roasted chicken from Whole Foods. She says it’s cheaper and easier than buying the chicken raw and cooking it. I think they have those same roasted chickens at Publix. The metal to make all those roasting machines came from my company.
