A challenge

I had the same result. Just an observation: the political world is part of our environment and it actively compels our involvement. The fruits of the spirit, we cultivate internally, so it is up to us alone to remember them. The horizontal is easier to know well than the vertical, although much less important.

One more observation:
Alan Bannister, Bucky Dent, Oscar Gamble, Richie Zisk, Chet Lemon, Jorge Orta, Brian Dowling, Jim Spencer, Ken Brett. That's the not-quite-in-order batting line-up of the Chicago White Sox as I remember it from 1976. I'm not 100% sure I have that quite right but it's pretty close. I'm not real sure we had a Supreme Court when I was 8 years old.

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 2005 world champions!

I love it. Yeah, I can still name a very high number of Pittsburgh Steeelers from their domination years in the 1970s and I am sure I had no idea that fruit had spirits.

There was a great little Scottish film about 25 years ago called Gregory's Girl. And I want Doug, and JP and David to run right out an rent that sucker. It's about guys and numbers and the girls who don't get it.
I do however remember the 85 Royals Geroge Brett, Frank White, Dick Howswer, - well that's the only three I remember.. Do recall a ball rolling through the legs of Bill Buck and losing for the Boston Redsocks and then a very messy play in the last inning of the sixth game. Hey - that's pretty good for a girl.

I was feeling all proud of myself b/c I knew all the answers to #2...then I read the comments about baseball. There's just no denying that the Red Sox are getting far more enthusiasm from me than the Bible has this summer. UGH. I'm off to repent and recalibrate...

Ahaa, Trish, I only discovered that baseball was a metaphor for everything about three years ago. And Scripture contains metaphors for everything. Therefore, you can connect the two. Oh, I'm stretching a bit. But, you see I met the holy man of baseball before he died - Buck O'Neal. We're talking the baseball equivalent of - let me see - dare I say - Paul?
Went through the Negro Leagues Museum and my docent - Buck O'Neal. Holy man of baseball.
Not sure my baseball belief is heretical to my Christian faith, but I don't think so. Baseball has reflected clearly every single huge moral issue in American history - it was the place we began to work our the conundrum of race and the one where we can clearly see some issues of injustice that might escape us. I've discovered that if someone loves baseball - they are capable of deep conversation on almost anything. Football - not so much. Now basketball - it has its own world of mythology and metaphor, but I don't get it. Yet. Since my single favorite sporting event is moving the books from one room to the other and coming up with another means of organizing them, I am always surprised when I go out to the stadium and feel that emotion thaat comes with the first pitch.

i got all the spiritual ones bt i could only thing of scalia as a judge and i think ruth bayer genshaft is retired...
