Day Away!

Today is my day off! I don't always take it, but I needed to do some work on a paper concerning the history and propriety of adolescent and pedo-baptism. I thought today was going to be a great time to get some stuff done. I was wrong! Even though I've read an entire book today, I picked the wrong day to be home.

The reasons:

1. NCAA Basketball Tournament (More people call-in work sick today than any other day of the year--including people who work Thanksgiving and Christmas).
2. Congressional hearings on steroids in baseball. By the way, here's my Mark McGwire impersonation: "Uh, er, um, I'm not here to talk about the past." Can you imagine Michael Jackson or Scott Peterson saying that?
Prosecutor: "Mr. Peterson, did you kill your wife and unborn son?"
Scott: "Uh, er, um, I'm not here to talk about the past."
3. PGA Bay Hill Invitational (It was rained out, but pictures of a golf course are always soothing to my soul.)
4. Finally, I experienced car trouble this afternoon. I've gotta figure out something to do with my dying eight year-old car. Any of you got $20,000 so I can get an upgrade?

How was your day?

P.S. I--in a pathetic moment of hubris-- searched "Sean Palmer" on Yahoo!. This page came up #14. Yahoo! list sites by reference (Sean Palmer) and popularity. A few months ago I was #85. Now I'm 14.

I want to thank you all for your frequent stops by. Soon I will return to some more overtly "spiritual" material in this space in the hopes that your life will be blessed. I will try to honor your time with thought-provoking, life-affirming material. I'm humbled that people make "The Palmer Perspective" a stop in their web surfing day.

But if I ever become prideful for becoming the 14th most popular "Sean Palmer" on the web, you can remind me that my preaching hero, Mike Cope, is the #1 Mike Cope on the web.
