The Wages of Sin is Death

Question to ponder: if the wages of sin is death, and all have sinned - how can anyone go to heaven? It's right there in black and white. Think about it. If I happen to be talking to you, I may just ask you what you think.

Romans 3:10 - There is none righteous, no not one.

Romans 3:23 - All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 6:23 - The wages of sin is death.

My goal in retirement is to spend less time on my phone, but it ain't easy. It's like a newspaper that's constantly adding new stories and weather updates. 

I don't have much interest in the Super Bowl, or last night's "Pro Bowl" events. Sunday night as usual we'll be watching "When Calls the Heart" on the Hallmark Channel. Doubt any of our friends will have a party, since we're all gathering together on Friday night.

Monday: I was on the phone for three hours with AT&T, then spent another hour in the AT&T Store. Some AT&T people were very helpful, others not so much. Wasn't able to save my 404 number, that I'd had for over 20 years. The only cell number I'd had. They're not giving out the 404 numbers any more, so I had to take a 770. In the end it's my fault that I lost my old number. The good news is that we're getting several new discounts on our cell phone bill, and our "home" number, and our home internet. And I got a brand new cell phone.

After the AT&T Store we met Matthew at the Willys next door, and had a nice late lunch. Didn't eat supper. 

Tuesday: got a haircut, went to the bank, donated to Goodwill, spent two hours at the gym (despite my aching back), and spent over an hour on the phone. A productive day, but not on what I needed to work on.

YOGI BERRA  [SABR Doc] has hit more World Series doubles than anyone in history, with ten. Jeter is 2nd with nine. No other catcher has won more regular-season Most Valuable Player awards than Yogi. He was MVP in 1951, 1954, & 1955. Fellow catcher Roy Campanella also won three. Yogi was the Mets' skipper in 1973. Gil Hodges, Davey Johnson, Bobby Valentine, & Terry Collins are the  only other Mets managers to win pennants.

"The whole work of sanctification, from its first step to its last period, is all of grace, all must be ascribed to God's free goodness." —Thomas Manton (1620–77)
