Top 10 + 3

When doing this blog, I always try and keep it interesting. Even if someone could care less about, say, soccer or Hulk vs. Superman, I like to add pictures. But sometimes even that can get repetitive. So when recounting the weekend's events, instead of adding pictures and saying Friday we did this and Saturday we did that, I decided to create a "Top 10" list.


Top 10 Shocking Moments
Over the Weekend

  • 10. Will Ferrell and John Heder as figure skaters
  • 9. Pictures on the boxes of breast pumps
  • 8. The fact that I mention breast pumps
  • 7. Never ending rain
  • 6. Erin thinking the initials "BK" were the same as "BI"
  • 5. Naked girl stickers on a Ford Focus
  • 4. "The Pursuit of Happyness" had a Captain America figure (RIP Cap)
  • 3. The amount of ear pulling Bella allowed Hadassah to get away with
  • 2. The Thing standing toe-to-toe with the Hulk
  • 1. The fact that my parents dog is still alive (I love you Missy)



Top 3 Quotes
Concerning My Dad's Portrayal of the late Johnny Cash
(The names have been changed to protect the innocent)

  • 3. "He was pretty good."Ingrid Pearlman, age 83
  • 2. "Bruce didn't sound anything like Johnny Cash"Betty Longman, age 76 (My dad was lip syncing to a Johnny Cash CD.)
  • 1. "WOW!!! How did Bethany get Johnny Cash to come here!?!"Julia Lang, age 89 (She was obviously unaware that the real Johnny Cash has past away.







[sing] We're gonna win Twins, we're gonna score! We're gonna win Twins, watch that baseball sore! Knock out a homerun, shout hip-hip-hooray! Cheer for the Minnesota Twins today!

Even though I wrote about how I'm more pumped about Major Leagues Soccer's "First Kick", I am still excited about the opening day of Major League Baseball! The Minnesota Twins' first opponent will be the O's tonight and for you Brew Crew fans, they take on the Dodgers.

ESPN analysts are predicting, for the American League, the Yankees, Tigers, and Angels winning their respective divisions. And the BoSox taking the Wild Card. They also agree that Minnesota's own Johan Santana taking home is 3rd and 2nd straight Cy Young. They disagree however on who the American League MVP will be. A-Rod gets one vote and Big Papi gets the other.

Why do I mention these?

Well, we all like to make predictions at the beginning of the season as to who we think will come up big that year, but how often are we held accountable to those predictions? Especially the "experts"? So I'm jotting down their picks now and hopefully I'll remember to check back when the time comes to see how close they came.

An honorable mention goes out to Minnesota Twins broadcast legend, Herb Carneal. He has been there for the past 46 seasons! We'll miss ya Herb!

Monday, April 2nd, 2007/Nehemiah chapters 9 & 10

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
"However, You are just in all that has come upon us; For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly." Nehemiah 9:33

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
When we think about the attributes of God, the first one that comes to most of our minds is love. The bad thing is most of us stop there. God is also just. The great news is Jesus has won the war for those of us that belong to Him. But we still need to deal with the consequenses of our sin while we are still here.

Woo Hoo Openning day!!!

I believe the ESPN analyst said the Tigers will repeat in the AL Central. Apparently, the "expert" ESPN analyst forgot the Tigers didn't win the AL Central.

Yea, I wonder how many people remember that the Twinkies won our division last year. The way we did it was great! Last game of the year. This year I'm hoping for a little bit more of a cushion.
