Patrick Cantlay capped off his recent victory run by defeating Jon Rahm today by one stroke to win the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, Georgia. In doing so, Cantlay also won the FedEx Cup, which was worth a bonus of $15 million. It was Cantlay’s sixth PGA Tour win. After winning the BMW Championship last week in perhaps the PGA Tour’s most thrilling playoff–which lasted for six holes against Bryon DeChambeau–Patrick Cantlay, at only 27... Read more
Jesus chose twelve apostles to accompany him in his ministry, and one of them was the apostle John. Three of the four New Testament gospels, including the Gospel of John, do not reveal who wrote them. Plus, in the ancient world, titles often were not affixed to books. Rather, they were known by the first word in the book. Take the first and last books of the Bible; Genesis, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word bereshit, means “in the... Read more
Patrick Cantlay just won the BMW Championship on the sixth hole of sudden-death playoff with Bryson DeChambeau. It was a most exciting tournament with two of the game’s elite stars going head-to-head for so many minutes. DeChambeau had a bunch of chances to win. He started the back nine today one stroke behind leader Cantlay and birdied the first three holes to take the lead. Cantlay kept giving himself a chance. He made clutch putts on the last three holes... Read more
The Gospel of John is my favorite book in the Bible. Although I’m no expert on literature, I believe it is the most masterfully-crafted text I have ever read. But it has been greatly misunderstood, both as to its historical reliability and its identification of who Jesus is. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, major New Testament scholars dismissed the Gospel of John as having no historical credibility. This even included my friend Jimmy Dunn (James D. G. Dunn). They... Read more
You’d think the secretive Cyber Ninjas, who are on a seemingly clandestine mission in Arizona, would be impervious to what they may have thought was a rather innocuous coronavirus for them. Not so. I live in Arizona where the Cyber Ninjas (yes, that is their business name) from Florida have been conducting a recount of votes from the 2020 election. It’s because Republicans control the state legislature here, and they ordered a recount. But these Ninjas have never done this... Read more
Delta Airlines announced a new strategy today that no company has put forward yet that I know of to fight this COVID-19 pandemic and its new and strong variant called Delta. The airlines will require all of its employees to be vaccinated or else, for those who refuse, the company will increase their health insurance premiums that the company pays for them by $200 per month. That may be the only way to get a bunch of these non-vaxxers to... Read more
That’s what my Army sergeant said to me in 1962 when I was in active duty Army at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. “Fort Sam,” as it is usually called, was and still is largely a medical facility. Thus, I was a medic in the Army. I had chose this MOS when I signed up, and I got it. Why? Being a Christian, I just decided that if I had a choice, I’d rather try to save... Read more
Journeyman Tony Finau outlasted Cameron Smith today in a four-hole, sudden-death playoff to emerge victorious in The Northern Trust tournament on the PGA Tour in Jersey City, New Jersey. It ended Finau’s victory drought that had lasted over five years. He had been the winner of only one PGA Tour tournament even though he was constantly knocking on the door during that drought, with eleven top three finishes. The Liberty National Golf Course, where the tournament was conducted, is... Read more
I was a Facebook investor long before it became a public company. I believed in the concept. And it was a good investment for me; I made some money. But as the years rolled on, I began to have my doubts about Facebook regarding its effect on society. What I didn’t like was that Facebook could be used for evil just as much as it could for good. And I was learning about a lot of evil spreading on... Read more
Mike Lindell, CEO of the ubiquitous MyPillow company in TV commercials, is still at it. Now, he is recasting his earlier prediction. For months, he had been telling us that, due to alleged 2020 election fraud, former President Donald Trump would be “reinstated” as president on Friday the 13th, thus nine days ago. It wasn’t Lindell’s or Trump’s lucky day since that August 13th came and went without fanfare. Lindell had been saying for weeks, “By the morning of August... Read more
