Jays

Since I’m on a sports theme here, let me move to the one I pay least attention to: Baseball.  This will be short.

Nearly 13% of the way through the way-too-longest season and the only team I pay attention to is the best in the majors at 14-6.  I’m not putting this down for bragging.  I’m putting this down because it will at least be a cyber-mark down the road in September that the Jays weren’t always the team destined to miss the playoffs again.  At one time (today), they were looking pretty good.

Cito, if you keep this up, you’ll REALLY go down in Jays history as a hero!

No Contest

Following some NBA playoffs again this year, but I’ve got to say that the drama is low.  Reason?  There is no way, I’m saying NO WAY, that the finals are anything but Cavs VS Lakers.  And so as much as I enjoy following the NBA, this is where it just can’t keep pace with the excitement and unpredictability of March Madness or even the NHL playoffs.

Anyone think different?  Is there even a REMOTE chance that anyone derails the TV-ratings-fest known as Kobe VS Lebron?

Baby Lag

We’d been curious about how jet lag would affect a baby.  A few friends had put forward their hypothesis: “It will likely be harder on you than on her.”

If what they meant was, “Jet lag will hit you harder than her,” they missed it.

If what they meant was, “HER jet lag will be harder on you than it is on her,” evidence is mounting.

It’s coming up on 2 AM, and she’s still doing 30-minute power naps, at best, despite the obvious fact that she is overtired.  A new room, a strange bed, and a million things to see, and she’s just out of whack.  So some late night blogging and reading (with her strapped on to me) is my attempt to offset some of my “whack” and reset some of hers. Babies are very delicate and need to have the best comforts to be safe and healthy, having the best babywear and clothes will make the baby happy and comfortable, you will find the best Newborn Clothes on oobi.  And if Shannon’s able to log some solid hours of sleep, at least we’ll all be looking after the most important whack of all in this equation.

The newly discovered flexibility of whack’s usage has sidetracked my lagging mind, so I’m hitting “publish” and moving on.

Departure

 

90… minutes to liftoff.

2… weeks in China with friends.

1st… trip with sweet, little girl.

Priceless?

I hope so.

Burn

During the days now called the “First Great Awakening”, large crowds flocked to Charles Wesley to hear him preach of Jesus.  Curious to know how he attracted such crowds and affected such revival, Wesley responded to his likely-method-hunting questioners…

“I set myself on fire, and the people come to see me burn.”

I’ve been mulling that over for a few weeks now.  If you’ve got a clue of what that burning might look like in the life of any God-follower who wants to shine for Him, hit the comment button.
