Going to try to follow the same plan I tried last year with book reading. Read the Bible for the year. Rotate theology, history or biography, theology, fiction. Starting off the year by finishing A History of South Carolina Baptists by Joe M. King, which I started last year.

@ImJimR87 @12444Fred My first job in electrical sales, the company also sold HVAC, so I picked up some knowledge of it.

@DonSpivey7 @12444Fred Interesting

I hate how I don’t know the names of the baseball stadiums anymore. You used to know who your team was playing just based on the stadium name. The Cardinals are playing at Daikin Stadium tonight. I have never heard of that name or brand. I have learned that is the stadium for the Houston Astros. What happened to Minute Maid Park?

@ImJimR87 @12444Fred Daikin is a brand of heating and air and the umbrella company that owns several other brands like Goodman.

@12444Fred No idea

What's the most famous island in the world?

Hebrews 7 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ²⁴ But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. ²⁵ Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Hebrews 7 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹⁵ And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, ¹⁶ Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

@milbfanclub Charlotte Knights?

New game for the Screwballs. Let's call it Kaught Looking 👀 Pixelated ballpark from one of my photos. 48 hours to guess. Name this stadium. No cheating. 👇 #MiLB #MinorLeagueBaseball

Back on somewhat of a good track, hopefully. Finished The Case Against Spiritualism and I was all for it until the next to last page. See the pic. Now on to Perelandra, book two of C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy.

6 weeks is too long for me to finish a book that size, but I'm finally done with The Monuments Men. Good book. Now on to The Case Against Spiritualism by Jane T. Stoddart.

@UmpDump2005 @notgaetti

@notgaetti My favorite thing is that they get rid of the Manfred Man in the postseason because they know it’s stupid

This is wisdom, folks This is it

Mystery solved! One of the young ladies in the church got here, spotted a nest on the steep bank opposite the church that the eggs must have rolled down from. She repaired the nest, returned the eggs, and momma duck is back on them. Hopefully, they'll hatch.

Saturday time line cleanse. Let’s see those pets.

@MLBTV I'm listening on the audio only app and, man, do ya'll need a greater diversity of commercials. I've listened to 11-1/2 innings of baseball today and must have heard the Ludacris Lowe's commercial 30 times....

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)

2 Timothy 2 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹¹ It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: ¹² If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: ¹³ If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Who’s a non-politician wild card that could run for president in 2028 and actually get some legit votes?

@BlueJays a question has come up among my coworkers about what size hat John Schneider wears. I'm guessing an 8.

@adamcmoyer @joshlofthus Golf is a dirty four letter word.

Great question. Who of my mutuals plays?

@LloydLegalist Dusty in here for sure.

I’m not crying…you’re crying.
