Riddleblog and Blessed Hope Podcast Updates

  • Season Four of the Blessed Hope is underway! The season is entitled “Life in the Midst of Death” and is a deep dive into 2 Corinthians

  • I’m looking forward to some vacation time! Retirement is hard work. My wife knows where to find me, and I can’t use the excuse, “sorry, I can’t get to that right now, I have work to do”

Thinking Out loud:

  • I’ve given up on the NBA—I haven’t watched a game in years. I was a long-time Lakers fan (especially the “dream team,”) but I’m sick of hero-ball, stars constantly changing teams, teams playing no defense, and fact that the last two minutes of a close NBA game are insufferable to watch. No wonder NBA fans are bailing—NBA finals ratings were down badly again with no sign of a turn around

  • Meanwhile MLB is thriving, thanks in large measure to recent rule changes shortening the games and some great young stars

  • As the R’s move from TV to streaming services (like YouTube and Prime) I’m making it my policy not to order any product which interrupts something I’m watching with a pop-up ad. You interrupt me, I won’t buy your stuff

  • I’m not exactly a fan of Rosie O’Donnell and frankly, I’m happy that she and others like her have moved to Ireland, the UK, and Spain. But Trump calling her a “threat to humanity” and threatening to revoke her citizenship is a good reason for Melania to take his phone away from him after midnight

  • Despite the well-intentioned hopes that John “Ozzy” Osbourne was a closet believer, probably not a good idea to enter eternity with the moniker “prince of darkness.” Isn’t that title currently in use?

  • Nothing like small town news reporting. Here’s an actual on-line news link: “Bikini-clad man arrested after knocking over trashcans at 3 a.m. while possibly-poisoned dog taken into custody by animal control.” Must be nice to live in a place where stuff like that actually makes news
