Braves swept the struggling Phillies. Atlanta has a 5 game lead in the division, and have gone 8-2 after Walt Weiss tackled the Angels' Solor. The Braves have the most wins in baseball. The Mets have lost 11 straight after Mr Met was seen hugging the socialist NYC mayor. The rumor mill is saying that the Mets owner traded his star player Brandon Nimmo, a Republican, in an effort to appease shortstop Lindor. Not sure, just what I read.
Does the new SPdL preacher wear a bow tie? Yes. The JFBC senior pastor will only wear a tie every so often. Not sure if he wears a tie every Sunday in the traditional service in the sanctuary. He will wear a bow tie once or twice a year. Not me.
When I go to thrift stores I always look at the ties, though I have plenty at home. I'm always looking out for a Masters tie, which are rare. Or some other unique tie. I have a couple of Braves ties, a Falcons tie, a Clemson tie, and a GT tie. Two Hawks ties. Would also be cool to find a UGA tie, especially one like Vince Dooley used to wear. But I only only wear ties to weddings and funerals.
Saturday I'd forgotten that the drink mix had caffeine, so that's what I blamed for not being able to sleep last night. Couldn't sleep so I read my book for a little bit.
Sunday: 28 in Sunday School, on Genesis 17 - God's covenant with Abraham. C didn't want to stay for worship. Music leader Bobby Smith was preaching. Not my fave, but the topic was supposed to be interesting. I'll try to go back and listen, and share the notes with you.
C had to shop at Target on the way home from church. She made peanut butter balls for Anna, then I drove C over to deliver them. A nice visit. Caleb had asked a friend of the family to come look at his air conditioner. It was Chris Evans, whose son had played ball with Will. Good to see him.
Back home I caught up on some "work". Saw Scottie tie for the lead on the last hole to force a playoff. He's finished runner up two straight weeks. Colin M continues to play well despite his back problems. The kid needs to get some rest.
I was out and about today. Made a big counterclockwise loop: (1) Goodwill on Holcomb Bridge. (2) Wells Fargo ATM. (3) Goodwill on Peachtree Parkway. (4) Peachtree Corners post office to get my passport application going. (5) CiCi's Pizza in Norcross. (6) Park Avenue Thrift store in Duluth. Bought a pair of khakis for three bucks. (7) Goodwill on Jones Bridge Road in Johns Creek. Passed on a nice pair of green Celtics basketball shorts. (8) Goodwill in Roswell. Bought a Braves license plate for two bucks.(9) Kroger in Roswell. (10) Goodwill on Crossville Road. Dang, forgot about the Goodwill in Duluth.

DENISON: “America Reads the Bible” began Saturday at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. Over seven days, nearly 500 participants will read the Bible aloud from Genesis to Revelation. Daily readings are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you wonder whether America needs a spiritual and moral awakening, you need only read the news. Yesterday’s mass shooting in Shreveport in which a father fatally shot eight children, including seven of his own, is enough to break your heart. There was also a shooting early Sunday on a pedestrian mall near the University of Iowa, injuring five people. I could go on, which makes my point.
