A few days in and it’s a wrap. Mychal Threet and “library joy” for the win.

The Church Is Up Against It
Post pandemic congregants not returning to the pews. Evangelicals under Orange Jesus’s spell. Secularism running amok.
As if that’s not enough Oregon spanked Liberty 45-6 in the Fiesta Bowl. Add to that, today’s ESPN headline, “Grambling women beat College of Biblical Studies 159-18”.*
Don’t be surprised if historians point to the College of Biblical Studies loss as the church’s low point.
*Reminds me of one of the youngest’s middle school basketball games, which her team lost 49-7. “Dad,” she said afterwards, “we lost by the square root!”
My New Year’s Resolution
To integrate as many British words, phrases, and sayings as possible into my daily speech. The list so far: chuffed, knackered, uni, loo, faff around, gobsmacked, oi, and bespoke.
The Final Four
The Semi-Pro football playoffs begin today with two semi-finals. In light of this article, “The Best Teams That Money Could Buy” here are the matchups.
Game one, 5p EST. Walk of Champions versus Hail Impact.
Game two, 8:45p EST. Texas One Fund versus Montlake Futures.
There’s no clear favorite like in recent years. All I know is, the local team with the best name of the four, Montlake Futures, will be a tough out.
