Last week I mentioned Admiral William McRaven and former CIA Director John Brennan in a post. I knew McRaven was a graduate of the University of Texas (and later chancellor) but only recently found out Brennan also graduated from there receiving a Master of Arts in government with a concentration in Middle East studies. Brennan is also a Distinguished Non-Resident Scholar at UT, where he also serves as a Senior Advisor to the University’s Intelligence Studies Project.
I also mentioned last week that Robert Gates, former President of Texas A&M University, was the Director of the CIA. Man, Aggies and Longhorns are well connected with the CIA.
People tend to become atheists at a younger age when their religious parents talk the talk but don’t walk the walk, according to new research published in the journal Religion, Brain & Behavior. The study provides evidence that exposure to religiously-motivated actions plays an important role in the onset of atheism.
Anytime I hear a Rotten Tomatoes score I automatically tune out. I’m not sure what I have against them, it feels like they are over-exposed and over-hyped.
Dirk throwing (rather, tweeting) a little shade at Dwyane Wade.
Our pastor has been preaching a series on mortality. We recently had a married couple (an oncologist and internist) and a social worker, all members of our church, hold a roundtable discussion of sorts about dealing with death from the “professional perspective”. Yesterday our pastor’s sermon was over hospice and euthanasia. Here’s one thing he stated I think is worth repeating, “I never had one person say, ‘I called hospice too soon!'”
On another church-related note about yesterday’s worship service, WifeGeeding was ordained as a deacon.
Funny tweet regarding the 2007 NBA finals but that wasn’t from Dirk. If you’ll look at the handle again you’ll see that it’s a fan account and not Dirk. Just don’t want him to be told to get over it when it isn’t him! Still funny though. And true.
I should have caught that. When I saw Bob Sturm retweet it I thought it was legit. He probably did fall for it like I did and simply retweeted it because he thought it was funny.
Have you been able to find out if that is an actual quote from Warren Buffett? That’s not his verified Twitter account and I saw a lot of people questioning it as it made the rounds yesterday.
Drank not drunk!

Yeah, great tweet, but Dirk’s handle is swish41, not squish41.

I fell for the fake account hook, line, and sinker. https://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-fake-twitter-account-blowing-up-on-twitter-2018-8
It happens and it happened to a lot of people yesterday.
