Josh Scheiderer Coming to Northeast Ohio

I’ve been praying for Bible Community Church of Mentor, Ohio since they began looking for a pastor last year. Bible Community is a church with a strong history. They have sent out several pastors and missionaries over the years, have taken a strong stand for truth, and have ministered to churches and families in Northeast [...]

Parasailing!

This week my family enjoyed a few days at Middle Bass Island, a vacation place on lake Erie—a trip that included parasailing! Here’s a short video I took while being dragged around by a boat some 300-plus feet below me:

Better than my parasailing was the parasailing of a 74-year-old friend of our family, whom I’ll [...]

Tribe Starters Are Unhittable

It’s early in the season, and sports don’t matter anyway, but this is pretty amazing:
“Cleveland starters have pitched 43 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings since Friday.” (from Sportsline.com)
They’ve already recorded a MLB-leading 7 shutouts. The Tribe’s hitting hasn’t been so good thus far, but that’s some crazy pitching.

Ohio State Beats Michigan…

…again.

That had to hurt.

Tips for the School Up North

It appears that Michigan’s hunt for a new coach is beginning as poorly as their 2007 season: 0-2. Ouch.
Now, I understand Les Miles wanting to stay at LSU. That’s a powerhouse team, and he has them playing in the National Championship game (if such a thing exists in college football). Why leave? Besides, LLLLLes just [...]

Quick Hits

I’ve collected a few worthwhile links, so I thought I’d string them together into this casserole of a post.
Generations of Valor
This picture from a Veteran’s Day memorial in Dallas is impossible to adequately describe. You need to take a look and read the caption below it. Would that all Americans were as grateful.

Jumping in the Leaves…with a Twist

I haven’t made a really substantial post for quite some time. Sorry. However, I couldn’t resist taking a break from studying to click a few pics of my girls in our backyard. Memories!

 

A few similar pics are available here.
God has been exceedingly good to me!

Small Market Baseball

The Cleveland Indians, up 2-1 on the Red Sox (and their $145M payroll) after beating the Yankees (and their almost $189M payroll), have the 19th highest payroll in the Bigs at under $68M. Yet, the nucleus of their team is signed for long-term success. Nice.
Here’s another way of looking at it. Cleveland’s entire roster [...]

Bring It On: Tribe in 7

By the end of this series Hafner, Sizemore, Sabathia and Carmona will be household names, and Cleveland will have mowed down its second East Coast bankroll this postseason.
Get used to us. We’re built to last. Go Tribe!

A Mulligan for Michigan? Ouch.

No Division I-AA team has ever beaten a ranked Division I-A team. Ever. Until now. Thud.

Appalachian State 34, Michigan 32.
Yes: Appalachian State. I had to look up the correct way to spell it. And it happened at Mulligan. Er, Michigan. In front of 107,000 fans. And they were ranked #5.
Breaks my heart. [...]
