Blame it on these unusual times. Several weeks ago, I came upon a Facebook ad inviting me to the Bible in a Year Podcast with Father Mike Schmitz.
The invitation came at the end of January, that dead-of-winter time when we all need something special to keep us going.
My own church wasnât meeting in person, and still isnât. During this on-line time of COVID, I donât have a lot of places to go or people to see.
So I pondered the offer: Free daily podcasts from a Father Mike, campus chaplain at University of Minnesota in Duluth, who would read, pray and discuss Scripture installments from Genesis to Revelation.

The field for the 2021 NCAA men s basketball tournament is set, and 68 teams will now battle it out to try to end the season as national champions.
For some leading players, this also represents the final few weeks of their college careers before taking their game to the next level.
It s unclear when the 2021 NBA draft will take place, but the annual talent grab usually occurs shortly after the NBA Finals, which are set to finish on July 22 this year. So while there s some uncertainty about the timeline, there s more certainty regarding who the top players are in this year s draft class.

ESPN has coverage of what is maybe the biggest game in Big 12 basketball this year, as No. 2 Baylor defends its undefeated record against league power Kansas. For some reason, the network decided to spend a large chunk of the first half talking about the NBA Draft.
The draft, of course, is a big subject, especially in the Big 12 this year. Oklahoma State‘s Cade Cunningham, a contender to be the No. 1 pick, exploded for 40 points today. It’s worth a mention.
