Friday night we ate at Moxie Burger. Saturday morning Ceil has a teams call with overseas missionaries. She sent me to Bellwood Coffee. Saw David Norman and possibly Matthew’s girlfriend. As I was leaving MC drove up with Shiv and Millie, so I stayed to chat with them. Weather was nice on Saturday but probably smart that I didn’t golf. Or go to the gym this AM. I really want to get over this sickness.
Went home and took a long nap. Fixed a ground beef quesadilla for lunch. Drove C to Costco.
After Sunday School we ate at Taqueria Tsunami with the Keys and Mayfields. Changed clothes and hung out on the couch. Did laundry. Watched some Pebble Beach.
Got a lot of rest all weekend. Wasn’t coughing that much on Sunday, but today I am coughing again. News: our customer was quiet on Thursday and Friday. I had emails piled up going back several weeks, and I was able to work through all but one. Pretty much a record. Of course that meant I wasn’t working on bigger projects, but I did also run a big report for me to work on today. I did not work this past weekend, and won’t be able to work next weekend either.
Trevor Noah did a good job hosting the Grammys. One of the first performances featured a female singer with dancers wielding samari swords, wildly swinging them dangerously close to audience members. The singer theatrically assaulted one man after another, then received a standing ovation when she finished. The entire scene seemed odd.
Iowa’s Caitlin Clark is poised to break the women’s all-time collegiate scoring record, as well as threatening Pete Maravich’s all time scoring record. Maravich did set his record in three seasons and fewer games, though Clark is completing her fourth season of college basketball.
With a White Sox 3-0 victory over the Tigers on Sunday, 06-Jun-2021, manager Tony La Russa moved to second place on the all-time wins list for managers by passing the legendary John McGraw. On Tuesday, 30-Jun-2005, BOBBY COX [SABR Bio] was ejected by umpire Doug Eddings for arguing balls and strikes. It was Cox’s 125th career managerial ejection, passing McGraw for good. Cox retired in 2010 with 165 ejections. That’s more than Weaver, Durocher, and Tony LaRussa. Cox coached for the Yankees in 1977. He was the youngest Blue Jays manager Toronto ever had. Cox was age 40 when he took over the reigns in the spring of 1982. He won the Manager of the Year Award in each league and was to win it in back-to-back seasons. Cox was MOY for TOR in 1985, after leading them to the postseason for the first time. He then won it for ATL in 1991, 2004 & 2005.
DENISON: Harvard theologian Harvey Cox observed: “We now live in a “post-Christian” America. The Judeo-Christian ethic no longer guides our social institutions. Christian ideals and values no longer dominate social thought and action. The Bible has ceased to be a common base of moral authority for judging whether something is right or wrong, good or bad, acceptable or unacceptable.”
In Man—The Dwelling Place of God, A. W. Tozer stated: “Our Western civilization is on its way to perishing. It has many commendable qualities, most of which it has borrowed from the Christian ethic, but it lacks the element of moral wisdom that would give it permanence. Future historians will record that we of the 20th century had enough intelligence to create a great civilization, but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.” He wrote these words in 1966. What would he say of our culture today?
