ABC's
Yesterday at Fellowship Bible Church, where we are visiting, Tim Lundy was speaking and talked about Jesus being the Alpha and the Omega. He mentioned the "ABC song" - you know, the one you sung as a child to help you learn the English alphabet. "A, B, C, D, E, F, G...H, I, J, K, LMNOP...." and so on. He started singing without the A, instead starting with B. It just didn't flow and clearly sounded wrong. He also sang it by inserting A later in the song, and after you got to the A, everything started syncing up again like you expect.
The point was that Jesus (i.e. the Alpha, the "A") should be first in our lives. Nothing should come before him. And when he's not there, everything is out of sync. It's a simple lesson, that Jesus belongs at the top of our list of life priorities. It's easy to understand, and yet much more difficult to live.
Duke's season begins
Duke begins it's season tonight with their first game against Boston U in Cameron Indoor. I'm very anxious to see the new freshmen, particularly McRoberts and Paulus. It's on ESPN2 at 6:30pm (CST) tonight.
Also noticed this weekend that Bob Knight is only 26 wins, I believe, away from passing Dean Smith for most coaching wins. Bob should easily pass him by mid-season next year, at the latest. This is, of course, assuming he avoids getting fired before then, but I think he'll do it. This will be great for a couple of reason - one, I like Knight and would like to see him at the top (at least until Coach K can pass him several more years down the road); and two, because Dean Smith will no longer be first. That's something to look forward to.
