I Don't Know The Person Who Did This Nor Do I Remember How I Stumbled Across It So Don't Ask
This video montage is so cool. A little of everything with a lot of Jack. Whitey Herzog, Ozzie Smith, Kirk Gibson, the American Football League, 3 Classic World Series moments, the infamous '87 Seat Cushion Night grand slam, Lou Brock, two crazy commercials...and Joe Buck with hair.
"Wait a minute...okay it's true."
The really scary thing is how much better Tim McCarver looked in 1991 with a naturally graying hair color instead of that cedar-dyed mess he has now.

Ausgezeichnet!
Yesterday was the summer solstice. Which means from here on out to the end of the year we'll be getting less and less sunlight to batter and burn our lawns and gardens. In addition, the colder weather coming will kill all the bugs.
And today it is actually gray and raining! No sun!
Life is good! I am so happy!
"Hoo-eee, I been to two county fairs and a goat roast, and I ain't never seen nothin' like this. "

Why Is That?
According to my Google, there are over 33 US cities named "Springfield".
Know how many are named "Creekpatch"?
Zippo.

Thursdays And The Forgotten Readings
Sorry, forgot to post yesterday. Got distracted by other things.
Yesterday you should have read the end of Nehemiah, chapters 12 and 13. As well as Romans 11.
Today is Esther 1, 2 and 3 and Romans 12.

If Males Are Actors...
...and females are actresses...
then doesn't it follow that males are bloggors and females bloggresses?
More about this in an upcoming edition...

Things That Weren't To Be
There are moments in life where we realize the things we dreamed of accomplishing before death are not going to happen. We won't make the major leagues. We won't be rock stars. Millions won't get made. Greatness will not be achieved. Speeches don't get made.
On my laundry list of things to do before I die, I've concluded I just don't have enough time left to accomplish certain things. It doesn't mean I don't consider them important. I just realize they're not going to get done. Other priorities have evolved.
So, in the spirit of sharing ideas, I give these bits of brilliance up, hoping someone, somewhere, will take up the paddle and run with it.
Things I will never accomplish in this life:
1. Produce a remake of the sitcom "Frasier", only with chimps instead of human actors.
2. Write an autobiography of someone other than myself.
3. Publish a book about the 20 greatest county fairs in the history of Macon County.
4. Win my battle with Miriam Webster regarding the proper tense of the verb 'sprinkle'. Although I resign myself that I can't possibly win in my lifetime, I continue to believe in the correctness of 'today I sprinkle, yesterday I sprankled, and in the past I have sprunkled.' However, maybe I can convince my pastor of its use for baptisms.
5. Create a video game in the spirit of "Guitar Hero". Only this one would be called "Opera Hero", and one would have to re-create the sounds of great opera solos and arias, using just the buttons of one's controller. And to think I've always wanted to pretend to be Beverly Sills.
6. My insect collection shall go incomplete. After having amassed approximately 150 kinds of insects, I am approximately 799,850 species short of having them all. I did the calculations based on my current rate of accumulation, and I don't think I'll make it to be 231,883 and 1/2.
7. I will never complete my scale model of the Korean War Battle of Kapyong, made entirely of dry macaroni and peat moss.
8. I just don't have the time to train my hair into 'the Slim Jim'.
9. I'll never complete my negotiations with Campbell's to market a line of "Campbell's Soup Ice Cream".
10. I'll never win an award for my blog. And I think this post seals the deal.

Friday's Reading
2 Chronicles 26, 27 and 28. And, as surely as time flies, we are now moving out of the more historical accountings of the New Testament and moving in to the epistles of St. Paul, starting with Romans 1.
"This letter is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian's while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul. It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well. The more one deals with it, the more precious it becomes and the better it tastes."- From Martin Luther's Preface to Romans. Read it all here.

In Fairness To Hillary
I do actually prefer her to Barack Hussein Obama. God help us if he is elected President.
But one thing he does have going for him...
I hadn't heard a reference to them for years, until I saw this link on Drudge. Thanks, Drudge. If he can convince blacks to follow Quiet Riot, more power to him.
"Come on, feel the noise..."

Somebody Call "Annie"
Maybe she can help Hillary Clinton.
I got this picture from Cranach. Thanks, Cranach.

Trinity Sunday
We believe, teach and confess:
"Whoever will be saved shall, above all else,
hold the catholic faith.
Which faith, except everyone keeps whole and undefiled,
without doubt he will perish eternally.
And the catholic faith is this,
that we worship one God in three persons
and three persons in one God,
neither confusing the persons
nor dividing the substance.
For there is one person of the Father,
another of the Son,
and another of the Holy Spirit.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is all one:
the glory equal, the majesty coeternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit.
The Father uncreated,
the Son uncreated,
and the Holy Spirit uncreated.
The Father incomprehensible,
the Son incomprehensible,
and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible.
The Father eternal,
the Son eternal,
and the Holy Spirit eternal.
And yet there are not three eternals
but one eternal.
As there are not three uncreated nor three incomprehensibles
but one uncreated and one incomprehensible.
So likewise the Father is almighty,
the Son almighty,
and the Holy Spirit almighty.
And yet they are not three almighties
but one almighty.
So the Father is God,
the Son is God,
and the Holy Spirit is God.
And yet there are not three gods;
but one God.
So likewise the Father is Lord,
the Son Lord,
and the Holy Spirit Lord.
And yet they are not three lords
but one Lord.
For as we are compelled by the Christian truth to acknowledge every person by himself
to be both God and Lord,
So we cannot by the catholic faith
say that there are three Gods or three Lords.
The Father is made of none, neither created nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father alone, not made nor created;
but begotten.
The Holy Spirit is of the Father and of the Son, neither made nor created nor begotten
but proceeding.
So there is one Father, not three Fathers;
one Son, not three Sons;
one Holy Spirit, not three Holy Spirits.
And in this trinity none is before or after another;
none is greater or less than another;
But the whole three persons
are coeternal together and coequal,
so that in all things, as is aforesaid,
the Unity in Trinity
and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshiped..
He, therefore, that will be saved is compelled thus to think of the Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation
that he also believe faithfully the incarnation
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the right faith is
that we believe and confess
that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
is God and man;
God of the substance of the Father,
begotten before the worlds;
and man of the substance of his mother,
born in the world;
Perfect God and perfect man,
of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.
Equal to the Father as touching his Godhead,
and inferior to the Father as touching his manhood;
Who, although he is God and man,
yet he is not two but one Christ.
One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh,
but by taking the manhood into God;.
One altogether,
not by confusion of substance,
but by unity of person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man,
so God and man is one Christ;
Who suffered for our salvation;
descended into hell;
rose again the third day from the dead.
He ascended into heaven;
he sits at the right hand of the Father, God Almighty,
from whence he will come to judge the living and the dead.
At whose coming all men will rise again with their bodies
and will give an account of their own works.
And they that have done good will go into life everlasting;
and they that have done evil,
into everlasting fire.
This is the catholic faith which
except a man believe faithfully and firmly, he cannot be saved."
"Whoever will be saved shall, above all else,
hold the catholic faith.
Which faith, except everyone keeps whole and undefiled,
without doubt he will perish eternally.
And the catholic faith is this,
that we worship one God in three persons
and three persons in one God,

and the Holy Spirit eternal.

and the Holy Spirit Lord.
And yet they are not three lords
