Happy Easter!

He is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Happy Easter to all of my family and friends!

Where Did April Go?

Here it is the last night of the month and it seems to me as if the month just started.  Lent and Easter have come and gone and another baseball season is a sixth of the way finished.

When I get some time in the coming days I will write about the games I am seeing this year and the continuing trends from previous years that are not for the best of the game.  Just look back to my posts of last October and you will figure out what is on my mind.

I hope it's been a good April for you and you have a great May!

He is Risen!

Happy Easter to all of my family and friends.  In response to the title of this post, the traditional reply is "He is Risen Indeed!  Alleluia!"

May the joy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's resurrection fill you with peace and joy in the knowledge that Christ's overcoming the cross and death now means we will live forever!  Alleluia!

Alleluia! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

This is the traditional Easter greeting in many Western Protestant Churches.  It was the greeting this morning where I attended Easter Morning worship at Sunrise.

Whatever you and your family are doing today may you have a Happy and Blessed Easter knowing that Christ has risen from the dead and because of that we have eternal life!

Alleluia!  He is Risen Indeed!

Random Thoughts in Mid April

Here it is the middle of April and it is finally getting nice outside.  I celebrated Easter with my family and the weather was finally gorgeous.  We spent the day outside playing and eating.  So with Spring finally here I have a few thoughts on my mind...

-Its nice to see "Mad Men" back on AMC.  I'm not sure its as good as it was the first few years.  But, it is still very good for television.  I will watch the remaining five episodes scheduled for this year.  Oh, and have you noticed Peggy has become "one of the boys".

-"The Americans" on FX is the best show on television right now.  I find myself cheering for the Russian spies even though I am American.  This season is just as good as when season one left off last year.  If you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and watch or DVR the program.

-It's been a rough month for my beloved Missouri Tigers.  First Coach Gary Pinkel kicked super star Wide Receiver Dorial Green-Beckham off of the team.  It will hurt the Tigers but in the long run it sends a message to every student / athlete on the Mizzou campus; behave yourself or else.  The other development was the resignation of Men's Basketball coach Frank Haith. I say good riddance to Haith and advise him not to let the door hit him in the butt.  He was a fine recruiter but not much of a game coach as evidenced by his inability to control his team.

-My favorite baseball team the Cardinals are off to a .500 start.  Adam Wainwright has been lights out so far this year.  But, the rest of the staff has been mediocre and the batters have not yet started to hit consistently.  Hopefully that will change as the weather gets even warmer.

-Last but not least congratulations to Albert Pujols on his 500th career home run.  Albert I wish you were still a Cardinal but I still respect your decision to move on to Anaheim a few years ago.

Have a great afternoon and I will post again soon (or well, whenever I have time).
