a few items to digest while you try to guess where I am typing this blog post from (answer at the end)…
+ Yahoo’s Jeff Passan writes about Albert Pujols’ freakish ability to come back way early from injuries. Does Pujols’ take all the credit, or does he claim God has something to do with it? Actually, he says it is all because of Todd Bentley. No, I kid. “I give all the credit to God because he puts me on the field,” Pujols said.
+ Former Minnesota Viking Joe Senser is an ordained minister who runs a saloon in Minnesota. As Tom Powers writes for the Pioneer Press, Joe feels like he is exactly where he is supposed to be.
+ According to this story from the Sydney Morning Herald, there will be 6 chaplains on call at the Beijing Olympics, one of whom is Nett Knox, a pastor who was also a part of the Olympics in Sydney and Athens. She is one of two women among the six chaplains, the other is former US Olympic gold medalist Madeline Manning Mims.
(and for the record, I am writing this from the hotel bathroom at the beach so as not to wake my wife and kids. Although, my kids are out there talking now, so I guess they’re up. have a great day, everyone…)

I guess God did help you with that, Albert. He gave you the body you have. It’s up to you to keep it up, though!

Great story about the saloon pastor. He seems to have a better grip on mixing his two worlds than some evangelicals who stay away from bars and others who spend too much time there.
