Bad News: My church credit card number was hijacked. My credit card company called me when they saw some odd purchases on my account. So they closed the account. I’m impressed with their proactive approach.

Good news: I just got what looks like a game-used official baseball from the 2006 All-Star game in Pittsburgh. Totally amazing. I opened the package right after I got off the phone with the credit card people, so it was a definite boost to my day.

The baseball came anonymously, so I don’t know who to thank. But if you’re reading, thank you so much. It was very kind of you. You’ve officially made me the envy of my office!
