Some Random Blogging
- I’m on day #13 of the Horner Bible reading plan and I’ve really, really enjoyed it. It takes me around 30-45 minutes each day, and I’ve only missed one day so far. The only change I’ve made is that I’ve switched to using the New Living Translation instead of the ESV. I love the ESV, but when I am reading large portions of the Bible, I find the NLT gives me a much better understanding of what is happening in certain passages. It’s just easier to read – from my perspective. I’ve been using my NLT Life Application Study Bible, with helpful study notes as to why stories like Joshua’s battles are important to my Christian walk.
- Jobs continue to come in for BADmedia, which leaves me pretty amazed at what God does to show his faithfulness. Over a month ago, I was pretty unsure if BADmedia could really be a full time job, and for the time being, it most certainly is a full time job. I have plenty to keep me busy for the next month (or two!), with plenty of other job prospects on the table.
- Praise God for Bert and Michelle as their adoption process moves along! Also, for my friends Tim and Cari who have also heard good news lately.
- UK played decent last night at Vandy, but just couldn’t pull it out. Free throws, rebounding and some not-so-smart play on defense doomed the Cats in the second half. Patterson will be back for the Tennessee game, so hopefully we can get back on track and finish the season strong. We need to do just that to improve our chances of making the NCAA tournament with an at-large bid. Or, we’ll just have to win the SEC tournament and get an automatic bid. I’ll take either.
I’m thinking about writing a Cincinnati Reds season preview post, now that Spring Training is underway. My thesis is this: The Reds are in for a long season, much like last season. The starting rotation will be just fine, but there just isn’t enough offense in the lineup to win a lot of games. I expect them to once again hover around .500 all year and to not even contend from day one of the season. They just didn’t make good enough off-season moves to improve last year’s mediocre offense. Hopefully, I’ll be wrong.
