On hiatus until March
February 19th, 2008I’m going to shut things down on the blog for the rest of February. Too much going on in my life right now to think about blogging. I’ll try to resume the first week of March. Thanks for your continued prayers for me and for Union University.
While Tim is out working 16 hour days getting a University put back together…
If you know Tim at all, you know he is a rabid Cardinals fan. We try and catch a game together when he comes up to St. Louis. We even saw the very last game at old Busch stadium together (loss to Astros in game 6 of 2005 NLCS).
I ‘ve noticed that there are also a lot of Cardinals fans that frequent the blog here, so I thought I’d mention that I’m looking for a bunch of Cards fans (the more the better) who are also Christians, and who would like to be part of a Cardinals group-blog.
The actual Cardinals’ web site is www.stlcardinals.com. I own the domain www.stlcardinalsblog.com.
Check it out and you’ll see that I haven’t done much of anything with it at all. A few years ago, Tim and I talked about starting a Cardinals group-blog, and I quickly snatched up the domain. But we got busy and didn’t develop it.
I would love to find 5, 10, 15, etc. guys and gals who love Cardinals baseball and love the Lord Jesus Christ, and who would enjoy writing up 2-3 posts per month during the season.
Since we are all arm-chair baseball commentators (except maybe Tim), I know that our posts are not going to be real deep stuff. Basically, if you go to a Cards’ game or watch a game, then make a post about it. If you read something cool about a player, hear a trade rumor, meet a player at an event, have a Cards’ story from the history books, etc. - these would all be great fodder. Point being, we want to write short posts with some punch to them, the kind that you would want to read as a Cards’ fan.
The “Christian” part is simply that if we keep the posts coming regularly then we could expect a smidgen of traffic, and when that smidgen comes and sticks around for the baseball-talk, we can also throw our Christianity into the mix as well. Shouldn’t be too hard to come up with angles on that with a lot of MLB players actively talking about their faith, including a number of Cardinals.
You can use a pseudonym or your real name. If you blog elsewhere, your own blog can be hyperlinked anytime you make a post.
The technology is easy to navigate. Everyone would get passwords and be free to post as they wish. If you jump into it but later realize you don’t have the time, no problem.
If you are interested, please let me know via email (logosATsbcglobal.net). I hope to get the group together by the start of the season. And if not this year, well then by golly we will try again next year.
Thanks,
Scott Lamb
I’ll be the troll (Cubs fan)
Pirates fan. Hey I grew up 50 miles north of Pittsburgh.
I have a 27 game business pack, formerly the Rolen Business pack, in the bleachers I would like to get rid of, if anyone is interested. 4 seats on the aisle, section 511 row 33. It’s the last row in the section and the bleacher goes across to the next section so you have 2 seats extra in the aisle to spread out a bit. I got half season tix after I had already paid for these (row 18 in left field). Email me for more info if interested. livingh2oatwalkonwaterdotcc
$405 for each set of 27 tickets (my cost). Or $375 if you’ll forego the opening day tix included with this pack.
