I don’t think I’ve seen offside medium slow fast pace bowling to match it since Baden-Powell took Rangachangabanga for a maiden ovary at Bangalore in 1948.’ I had stumbled into the surreal and rewarding world of cricket on the radio. After years of patient study (and with cricket there can be no other kind) I have decided that there is nothing wrong with the game that the introduction of golf carts wouldn’t fix in a hurry.

The part I always loved about golf was that you could go out there by yourself and be totally responsible for what happened or didn’t happen.

Hebrews 6:4–6 also shows us that spiritual sloth never leaves us in neutral. If you’re not moving forward, you will drift backwards. You will either grow or decay. There is no standing still. The spiritual life is not like riding a bike, where you learn once and never forget.
