Fantasy Football Wrap Up
On the relevance to life scale, this is pretty far down the line, but . . .
My regular season fantasy football season ended today. I was in 33 leagues. Sounds like a lot (okay, it is), but it was only about 5-6 hours a week. I’ve found the more leagues I’m in, the less obsessed I am with the details. I spent a lot more time last year on this when I had one team. This way, you win some, and you lose some. I had a good season. I won ten league championships. Twenty-one of my leagues were “head-to-head,” which means you play other teams and keep Wins and Losses (as opposed to keeping a running point tally throughout the season). My cumulative record in HTH leagues was 225-116 (63%, which is pretty good). I also lost a points-only league to my wife . . . and one to my nine-year-old son (that one cost me $20, which I promised to pay him if he won). The loss to my wife cost me only some manhood.
I’ve signed up for three NFL playoff fantasy games, so that will carry me through January . . . almost to Fantasy Baseball.
Hey, it’s my only hobby.

Merry Christmas – and a Gift Suggestion
Some of you may have heard me mention astral prophecy on Coast to Coast AM or some other radio show, and how that connects to the star of Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, and biblical theology. I just saw a DVD that represents my view of what’s going on in Revelation 12 and the famous star of Bethlehem. I blogged about it over on PaleoBabble, so check it out!
Merry Christmas!

What’s in YOUR Bible?
As some of you know, one of my new responsibilities where I work is to serve as editor of the new Bible Study Magazine. It’s aimed at the pastor or lay person, but goes beyond the normal “church fare” in various ways each issue. I also write for the magazine.
The first issue featured an article on the varied canons (lists of which books should be included in the Bible) of Christianity and Judaism. The author included a nifty chart of the canons, which we have now made interactive. Check it out – it’s pretty cool (just hover over the symbols and numbers).
