- Because of a typo I made yesterday, I thought I’d provide a link to a blog about cement. I’ve got a blog about nothing, they got a blog full of cement.
- Cowboys center Travis Frederick has been diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome. Whenever the story is mentioned on the radio or television, I think of JonBenet Ramsey because they sound somewhat similar, at least to me.
- I only follow a handful of pastors on Twitter, most I know personally. I’ve noticed they mainly tweet scripture or stuff about scripture. I’m also aware they get all sorts of advice and everyone tells them how to do their job. So this is my passive-aggressive attempt to encourage them to include more candid tweets so they can be more relatable. I’m not saying they should use Twitter as a form of stand-up comedy, a political sounding board, or log every detail of their life. I just want to be able to find them relatable, to know they have a personality, that they are human and have a life outside of the church or ministry.

In that spirit, be Christ-like in your driving habits, especially if you have a KLTY bumper sticker – drive “safe for the whole family.”

However, it has caught my attention since I found out along with Tom Cruise it will have Val Kilmer, Ed, Harris, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, and Lewis Pullman (son of Bill Pullman. Miles Teller Teller plays the son of Maverick’s late friend and partner Goose, which makes me wonder if they can get Meg Ryan to make a cameo. Cast her now or lose her forever.
- Texas Gulf Coast exports more oil than it imports for the first time
- Texas is now on track to produce more oil than either Iran or Iraq. That would make Texas No. 3 in the world if it were a country.
- Texas is the epicenter of the shale revolution, with soaring production in the oil-rich Permian Basin leading the United States to record output. Rapid technological advances in fracking, the process of unlocking oil and gas deep underground, have dramatically reduced the cost to drill oil in the Permian Basin.
