Christian, Husband, Dad, Internal Medicine MD, FACP @UMMCMedicine, #HailState. 1 Peter 2:9/Matt 28:18. Tons of gospel, some MSU 🐶 and some doctoring 👨⚕️💉.
“That was honestly one of the coolest moments of my career,” said Llinas. “Because this is one of the coolest places to play in baseball. Fifteen, sixteen thousand people in an away crowd. It was a surreal moment.”
His coach requested to add on to his pitcher's answer.
"That’s what makes this place so special,” added Forehand. “All that stuff that goes on in the outfield, to recognize that this kid pitched a great game and held a really good offense down for six innings, for a sold-out crowd to give a standing ovation to the other team, that’s so cool, so special. I hate that we didn’t win the game. But for an old guy who has been around the game a long time, this is what this game is all about.”
Carl Trueman coined the phrase Big Eva and it caught on.
But, now he thinks Gig Eva—unaccountable online evangelical influencers—is an even greater concern.

Poor Americans who attend church regularly are happier than rich Americans who never go.
Behavioral scientist William von Hippel thought he'd made a coding error. He hadn't.
"Regularly attending services has a bigger impact on your happiness than wealth," he writes. "Money buys a fair bit of happiness but connection gives you more bang for the buck."
What's happening? Rich people already have most of what money buys. What they lack is what churches provide for free: weekly, repeated contact with people who know your name.
Von Hippel is direct about the cost: "I suspect that wealthy, educated urbanites are paying a steeper price for their lifestyle than they realize. Many of us have paid too great a price in connection for our increased autonomy."
