So Steve Nash had an off-night last night. He just couldn’t find his shooting rhythm and never became an offensive threat. He ended up with only 4 points, shooting only 2-of-7.
So what does he do?
He gives out 21 assists.
Translation: He was directly involved in at least 42 of Phoenix’s points without even taking a shot. And his team won.
I suspect there’s something to learn in there somewhere.
Winter has hit Regina. The radio yesterday spoke only of the blizzard hitting the prairies. We didn’t the honour of being in that one, but the cold air has certainly found us. This week’s forecast? A streak of days with low -20’s and windchills making it feel like -40’s.
Canadian prairies in the winter time… now that’s what I’m talking about.
And it’s declared that there’s no blogging to do recently.
Seriously…
I’ve wanted to write a dozen times lately but simply have not had the time. Between Christmas and New Year’s travels, the being of and hosting of guests, the “getting back into routine” time after the holiday, busier-than-usual-at-work days, computer breakdowns (hopefully fixed today), plumbing frustrations (also hopefully fixed today because we are hiring plumbing services dallas tx), and just a general shortage of hours per day lately,… blogging just hasn’t made the cut.
And it won’t today either.
Thanks to those who’d call me their friend today; I’m glad you do. Many of you have passed through my mind lately.
A few years back, I was given “The Two Year Bible”. Yes, that’s the lite version of “The One Year Bible”, and no, I don’t know why I received it. But I decided to open it up with this new year.
In the midst of a thousand discussions about Christianity, the church, faith and culture, and more; I often feel like my head is swimming. Some of the discussions have merit; some are simply sophisticated-sounding forms of whining or grumbling.
But every so often, something shines through with enough brightness that you know it’s for real. Today, that “something” was Psalm 1:
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2 But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
Don’t get sucked into bad stuff.
Delight in what God loves.
This will make your life a good thing.
Call me simple if you must, but I can work with that.
