Well it has taken me this long to get over the shock of the Pistons being knocked out of the NBA playoffs. I have officially been in mourning. (not alozono) but now I can blog on  it. I actually think Flip Saunders the coach got out coached by Pat Riley. Which is not hard to conceive because Riley is one great coach.

But it is frustrating to see the Pistons have such a great season record then smack down the cavaliers in their first two games but go on to wilt in the following games. I don’t know what magic Dir of BBL operation Joe Dumars is going  to do in the off season but I can’t stomach another like this.

I hope they resign Ben Wallace and shore up the bench

N.T. Wright will return for the first time since being ordained Bishop of Durham

Miroslav Volf is the author of “Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace” , a phenomenal book about forgiveness and grace that everyone should read. In fact the Christian Century reviewed his book and stated: “There are good books, there are great books, and then there are books that make you want to send copies to all your friends and pass them out to strangers. Volf’s book is one of the few members of that last category.”
