Five things friday

Here we are, all the way around to another Friday. I am bachin' it this weekend as the wife is gallivanting around with the daughter on some southern beach. After dropping them at the airport I did a 20-mile bike ride (still trying to rest my ankle). It's crazy just how fast I can get out of the running habit. Anyways... here's 5 other things on my mind:

1. I'm not sure what made me think this, but is it possible that Caitlyn Clark has become a female version of don trump? I mean, I have nothing against her personally, but she certainly has created a stir - with quite the loyal following - especially in mostly white, rural communities. I am not up on the WNBA or women's basketball in general, but she seems to be somewhat of a polarizing figure. I wonder...
2. Speaking of polarizing figures...  I saw a statistic that said 63% of US Americans identify as Christian, but according to this Barna study, the percentage of Americans actively following Jesus with a Christian worldview is more like 4%. I'd have guessed that was shockingly true enough, but then I went to the link and saw it was from 2003!!! Well, geez, that's like a million years ago! So I wonder how different it might be today? I'd guess the 63% might be higher, and the 4 might be lower. However, the markers used to determine both may be completely different from in 2003. I dunno, but it's interesting.
3. Okay, here's something a little less serious, but maybe even more important (although... I dunno): This WSJ article apparently tells how to delete your personal data from an old computer. I'ma gonna need that, probably sooner than later... 
4. I'm sure this is less serious and less important: My reading list. I've been trying to wade through Jeff Galloway's 'Running Until You're 100'. It's... uh... not the easiest read. Plus it seems like a lot of "Read my book about *this* to understand what I mean." I guess there are some helpful tidbits, but it's been a little disappointing. On deck is 'Try Softer' by Aundi Kolber. It's a book our church got as part of our mental health grant. I also bought 'What I Talk About When I Talk About Running' by Haruki Murakami... because I've always wanted to read it!  
5. "We really never do anybody much good unless we share the deepest experiences of our souls." - Frank Laubach

Welp, time to get my ice bucket ready for ankle soaking, do some more work on the sermon, and if all goes well, maybe take an afternoon nap.

Peace!
