This week it occurred to me, it might be good to stop hereTo not go any further in Hebrews– until our experience catches up with what we’ve learned• for instance, we learned about an constant inner peace◦ a Sabbath rest that doesn’t depend on our circumstances◦ we can enter God’s rest in bad times as well as good times• and our Sabbath rest is not limited to one day a weekOne person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. (Ro. 14:5)On our Facebook page where the video of my talk last week was posted, Bill Livingston commented, “When seven days are holy you’ve entered his rest.”◦ God’s will is that we always find rest in him– so the question is, have we enjoyed that Sabbath rest this past week?• have we been going there with our anxious thoughts?◦ with our troubled hearts? with our anger and disappointments?

Award-winning Cleveland Plain Dealer sports columnist Bill Livingston (George Steinbrenner’s Pipe Dream: The ABL Champion Cleveland Pipers) joins Tim Hanlon to delve deeper into the history of the ill-fated 1960s American Basketball League – this time through the lens of one of its (and ultimately, one of pro sports’) most combustible figures.  Livingston describes how Pipers owner (and future New York Yankees “Boss”) George Steinbrenner:         • Retooled a local Cleveland industrial amateur team into a fledgling pro club with NBA ambitions;         • Traded a player at halftime of a league game, and fired his collegiate hall-of-fame coach in mid-season – and still won a championship;         • Convinced a risk-averse college star named Jerry Lucas to spurn surefire NBA stardom with the Cincinnati Royals for partial ownership/oversight of an ambitious, yet financially wobbly ABL franchise; and        •  Outmaneuvered a similarly-aspirant Abe Saperstein in the race to secure a coveted NBA franchise, only to hasten the demise of the ABL and the financial viability of the Pipers in the process.
