I have always liked the New York Yankees and I pulled for them again last year while they were getting clobbered by the Dodgers in the World Series. I like their competitiveness, the way they hit the field running and go all-out from the first pitch to the last. They’re serious about winning. But they got knocked around by the Dodgers like the loser in an MMA fight even with Shohei “The Emperor” Ohtani in a slump and I don’t see them stopping the Rangers in the American League Pennant race.

The so-called “Prosperity Gospel” has been the subject of controversy since it began being preached in the late 1940s, claiming that health, happiness and especially wealth come to Christians who are generous with their donations to the preachers who espouse it. The Revs. James Cosentino and Bill Hutto say it is a bunch of claptrap that distorts God’s word and has led to a great deal of misunderstanding and false expectations.
