It is that time of the year when people compile top ten lists reflecting upon the events of the past year. Here are a few I thought you might find interesting.
1). We begin with a list of significant church/theology events for the past year. Top 10 Church/Theology Stories
2). Here's a "list of lists" devoted to the best Christian books released (or read by the list producer) last year. These lists sure don't match mine. A List of Christian Book Lists
3). This one is sad--a list of the top ten crimes of 2010. Not only is our society filed with personal tragedy, keeping up with it is a cottage industry. This is the stuff that keeps Geraldo and Nancy Grace on the air. Is it just me, or does anyone else think Nancy Grace is the most obnoxious person on TV? Top Ten Crime Stories
4). Here's the annual list of those celebrities who died this past year. I'll miss a couple of them. I won't miss those on this list of whom I've never heard. Celebs Who Died
5). Here's a fascinating list of those things Americans hold sacred: Ten Things We Believe
6). One of my personal favorites--a list of the top political gaffes of 2010. Top Ten Political Gaffes
7). Here's a list of the top sports stories of 2010. Did Tiger, Favre and LeBron make it? Not a great year for sports, although my Lakers did beat the Celtics: Top Ten Sports Stories
8). The Pope's trip to London topped the Vatican's top ten for 2010: Top Ten Pope Stories
9). Finally, here's a top ten list of the most important products from Apple. I bought an iPhone. Don't know how I lived without it. Top Ten Apple Stories

Wow, I've got to watch more TV! I didn't know who half of these people were and of the half I did know, I didn't know half of them were dead.
Kobe and the Lakers have had a good run, but it is almost over. When Kobe does finally hang 'em up (very soon), that will be it for the Lakers.
Los Angeles will then need a pro football team to keep the fans interested in sports, while the Lakers start with a long re-building process that could take years.
Most of the Dodgers action is found in the courtroom with the McCourts, and "Ol SC" is now relegated to doing programs on T.V. like, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader."
Happy new year!
A happy New Year to you as well.
OK, so Kobe is getting older. But what about KG, Allen, Pierce et al. Not like these guys are spring chickens!
Just as long as LeBron and Company don't win, I'll be happy.
Some of the Celtics are getting old, but, their skills are not diminishing as quickly as those of Kobe.
Here in Phoenix, the new center Gortat is very good. But, the way the Suns are going, they may end up trading Nash. Nash is having a great year, but, often in the NBA, a team has to become very bad in order to become good.
Nash could still fetch a huge return of potential players in a deal. If the Suns can turn it around, they will keep Nash. He is as good as ever, with a couple of more years left in the tank.
I can't stand Lebron James. That hour long press conference he had before announcing where he was going play was too much.
Happy new year, Pastor Kim!
And among who did that book Radical get such attention? I heard an interview of the author on the radio; he basically didn't say anything new and didn't give the impression that the book was worthy of the attention I heard it was getting.
The Celts should be awesome when Kendrik Perkins comes back. They would have beaten the Lakers last season if Perk wouldn't have missed the last two games of the finals.
